POWELL, OH — (Marketwire) — 05/17/12 — Click4Care, an award-winning software company providing its care management platform to enable high quality healthcare at reduced overall cost, today announced that FirstCare Health Plans of Austin, Texas, has selected Click4Care-s Care Management Platform for successful population management. FirstCare will use the Click4Care platform to make real-time, transparent information available to providers, care managers and members, as they work together to manage population health and wellness.
Click4Care-s Care Management Platform contains the CareRules engine, which provides powerful configuration and evidence-based care plans, as well as optimized workflow for managing dual eligible and Special Needs Program (SNP) members. FirstCare is deploying the Click4Care platform in conjunction with HealthEdge-s HealthRules®, a modern, enterprise-class claims and benefit administration, business intelligence and portal solution. The combination provides FirstCare with the only integrated administrative and member-centric population management system. This powerful capability provides unrivaled agility, significant cost savings and true differentiation.
FirstCare Vice President and Chief Information Officer Arik Hill said, “As a provider-owned organization operating in a complex marketplace, it was vital that FirstCare be associated with a product and an organization that supported both integrating clinical information and claims processing along with maintaining strong ties to members and physicians. As we look to the future, we believe successful population health management includes unique capabilities that allow real-time, transparent information to be readily available to our members, their physicians and care managers. Our association with Click4Care gives us the necessary components to do this seamlessly, using a clinical care provider portal, risk modeling, and integrated claims processing that includes a predictive analytic engine.”
“During their thorough evaluation process it was clear that FirstCare sought a solution to integrate clinical information and claims processing while enhancing communications amongst members and physicians,” said Rob Gillette, CEO of Click4Care. “FirstCare chose a combination of Click4Care and HealthEdge because the companies are aligned with its mission of providing high-quality and cost-effective services, while offering the tools that will allow them to effectively engage their members and caregivers in next-generation healthcare business models. We expect many other organizations to embrace this uniquely integrated solution in the near future.”
