Health Net, Inc., Selects MEDai's Predictive Modeling
Solution to Enhance Existing Disease Management Programs
August 1, 2006 – (Orlando, FL) -MEDai, Inc., headquartered in Orlando, FL, a leading provider of innovative health care solutions, announced earlier this week that Health Net, Inc., headquartered in Woodland Hills, CA, has signed a multi-year contract to utilize MEDai's Risk Navigator Clinical™ predictive modeling solution. Risk Navigator Clinical's robust analysis and reporting capability will provide Health Net tools for its overall care management programs and to manage provider relationships.
Risk Navigator Clinical accurately forecasts prospective high-risk patients to improve patients' health and quality of care while controlling cost. The advantage of MEDai's prediction engine is its use of the right combination of linear and non-linear models to correctly "fit" the characteristics of the client's population. Risk Navigator Clinical allows drill-down to the patient level which provides disease management nurses with quick access to Guideline Gap Analysis reports. These reports identify opportunities to improve care and avoid future risk by providing the right services to patients with chronic illnesses.
"MEDai is pleased to add Health Net, Inc. to its family of clients," said Steve Epstein, President/CEO of MEDai. "We are confident that Risk Navigator Clinical will enhance their existing programs as well as create opportunities for their organization to improve from both a healthcare delivery and operations standpoint," he added.
