MedeAnalytics, a leading provider of healthcare performance management solutions, announced today that Blue Shield of California is now live with MedeAnalytics' Medical Management Analytics for use within its Healthcare Services Division. Blue Shield's goal is to provide its medical directors and case managers with actionable information to drive improvements in how clinical services are utilized. The ability to access critical operating data related to inpatient stays, outpatient hospital services and other areas allows Blue Shield to identify provider practice patterns and opportunities for improvement.
"The recent go-live of the solution will allow Blue Shield and its provider partners to identify and quickly focus efforts to collaboratively improve medical management by screening trends in cost drivers and performing drill downs to identify and address root causes," commented Meredith Mathews, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer for Blue Shield of California. "The launch has been a great success."
"We are pleased to see Blue Shield of California's successful launch of Medical Management Analytics," said MedeAnalytics Chief Executive Officer Mike Gallagher. "With the short implementation period and ease of use, Blue Shield can rapidly realize the benefits of the solution, which will enable it to maintain its high standard of services to its members."
