Healthcare payors can now use Milliman's CareWebQI® interactive software tools within The TriZetto Group's CareAdvance Enterprise® 4.6 application. A newly developed interface embeds guideline-based decision-making in the CareAdvance™ application workflow.
The interface goes beyond a simple integration of the evidence-based Milliman Care Guidelines® clinical content to seamlessly incorporate CareWebQI's consistent point-and-click care management, documentation of variances from best practice, guideline customization and more. The result is reporting on real-time client data that helps identify gaps in care, resource delays and other variances.
The CareAdvance system also directly integrates content from the Chronic Care Guidelines product, giving TriZetto's clients a powerful tool to address the growing number of patients with challenging chronic conditions.
As part of this strategic alliance partnership, TriZetto's CareAdvance application team worked closely with Milliman Care Guidelines clinical and software developers to create a certified interface that care management clinicians will find easy to use.
The Milliman Care Guidelines Strategic Alliances team uses a structured integration certification program that certifies and supports CareWebQI interactive software and content integrations, ensuring overall quality and client satisfaction. This integration with TriZetto has achieved the "Certified Integration" designation.
"The CareAdvance application integration with CareWebQI software provides TriZetto's customers with interactive access to evidence-based clinical guidelines, enabling timely support for nurses and ultimately members," said Jeffrey Rideout, M.D., TriZetto's Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Cost and Quality of Care. "Our combined solution can improve quality of care for our customers through timely access to relevant clinical guidance and can reduce cost through improved workflow for nurses."
"This integration is part of our long-term strategy of tightly integrating the Care Guidelines content and interactive software with industry-leading workflow tools from our Strategic Alliance Partners," said Lynn Nemiccolo, Milliman Care Guidelines Vice President of Product Management.
"Our long-standing strategic partnership with TriZetto led its CareAdvance team to design and build one of the best interfaces we've seen with Care Guidelines interactive software and content. Our mutual clients will get a lot of value from this integration," she added.
