Payers and HIE: Health Plans as Key Players in Reducing Costs, Improving Outcomes and Driving Adoption
November 2010
Watch the video recording of a panel discussion on the role of health plans in HIE initiatives at the AHIP Institute 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The long-term sustainability of HIEs and how to derive continuous value for all stakeholders was the central topic of the discussion. Panelists shared their experiences working on HIE committees in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and California.
NaviNet believes that health plans are a good source of readily available, comprehensive, patient-centered data from multiple provider sources -- and may already have an electronic network in place to facilitate exchange. Applying those existing resources to nascent HIEs can only speed their deployment, decrease their overall costs, and increase their success. To hear more opportunities for shaping and benefiting from HIE initiatives, watch our video.
The panel was moderated by David K. Nace, VP, Medical Director, McKesson Corporation. Panelists included Daniel Carmody, VP, Information Strategy & Solutions, Cigna Healthcare; Joseph Miller, Director of E-Business, AmeriHealth Mercy; Tom Williams, Executive Director, Integrated Healthcare Association; and James M. Bogdan, Sr. VP of Payer Solutions at NaviNet.
