This webinar will offer health plan information technology leaders, care management executives, medical officers, directors, and clinical staff valuable details regarding the core technical components essential to healthcare reform success, what to ask for in a population health management solution, and how to evaluate technology platforms that will help their businesses grow in alignment with healthcare reform requirements.

• Operations executives and medical services teams who need to understand population shifts, plan new initiatives that will enable them to capitalize on new opportunities, mitigate risks, and optimize overall performance.
• Health plan information technology executives looking for lower total cost of ownership through streamlined installation, maintenance and upgrades, and the flexibility to leverage investments in their existing solutions.
• Care management executives seeking a comprehensive view into member and population health to improve the quality of care and reduce the costs of delivering it, while helping meet URAC, NCQA, HEDIS, and Star ratings guidelines and requirements.

Attendees are eligible for continuing education credit, as well.
