MEDecision to examine patient centered medical home concept in a complimentary webinar

MEDecision, Inc., a leading provider of collaborative healthcare management solutions, will examine the patient centered medical home concept and how it correlates to care management processes that have evolved within the payer space in a complimentary webinar titled "The Patient Centered Medical Home and Evolving Care Management Processes" on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time (9:30 a.m. Pacific Time).

“The Patient Centered Medical Home and Evolving Care Management Processes”

The session will provide insights from Health Care Service Corporation's Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) Dr. Joe Nicholson; MEDecision Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Andrew Schuyler; and Matt Adamson, vice president of MEDecision's medical home initiatives. They will discuss MEDecision's two-fold philosophy toward providing products and services to support medical home pilot projects—enabling access to complete and comprehensive patient clinical data in order to positively impact care quality; and providing tools that assist payers, providers and patients in bending the healthcare cost curve.

This session will also examine:

• BCBSOK's medical home philosophy
• How MEDecision views its role in providing products and services that support current and future customers as they embark upon medical home pilots
• The need for technology vendors to provide access to complete and comprehensive patient clinical data to positively impact the quality of care; and to supply tools that enable patients, payers and providers to bend the healthcare cost curve
