Today MedeAnalytics, a leading provider of healthcare performance management solutions, introduced its new Financial Strategy Analytics solution, a powerful tool that enables hospitals and health systems to proactively manage finances, hone strategic planning, and optimize managed care performance metrics in the context of today's rapidly changing healthcare marketplace. The solution was introduced at the Healthcare Financial Management Association's 2013 Annual National Institute in Orlando, Fla.

"Provider organizations are under unrelenting pressure to manage their finances in an uncertain economic environment, with continuing Medicare reimbursement cuts, new value-based reimbursement models and many new financial relationships with managed care payers and physician practices," said John Hansel, MedeAnalytics' vice president, Healthcare Provider Solutions. "Our Financial Strategy Analytics solution empowers them to confidently and successfully meet these financial challenges."
