MANASQUAN, NJ -- April 17, 2008:
A key topic
in the upcoming US presidential election is the issue of providing
high-quality healthcare and simultaneously controlling costs.
However, in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, and Wisconsin, local
reform efforts are already focusing on data pooling as a way to better
understand the healthcare environment.
Data pooling can help fuel quality and efficiency
measures and
provide real knowledge about local trends. Large
organizations
are embracing the concept of data pooling as all players work together
to contain healthcare costs. Since healthcare data varies by
region, payors, providers, employer groups and consumers who are
focused on specific conditions in their areas are better positioned to
make the best healthcare decisions for their regions.
Join the Managed Care Information Center and
Milliman to
learn
about current data pooling
and local evidence-based measure initiatives and the future potential
in “Healthcare
