Automated workflow, configurability, system integration, and reporting
capabilities to revolutionize care management and speed claims processing
COLUMBUS, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Click4Care, a leading provider of care management software for payors, today
announced the next-generation Utilization Management (UM) module for its
industry leading software platform. By leveraging the UM solution`s extensive
configurability, payors and providers can achieve greater levels of productivity
while improving clinical, administrative and financial performances. 

The UM module is part of Click4Care`s revolutionary care management software
platform that allows health plan users to make necessary changes within hours,
rather than days or weeks, eliminating reliance on overburdened and costly IT
resources. This unequaled, near real-time configurability makes payors
responsive to the accelerating need to manage expenses and improve the quality
of care, and to do so quickly, accurately and cost effectively. 

"Our Utilization Management module is the first in the market to provide a truly
end-to-end solution," said Rob Gillette, CEO of Click4Care. "The turnkey system
securely presents all patient data within a single, member-centric view,
resulting in streamlined administrative workflows and productivity for payors
and providers-as well as superior member care." 

The new UM functionality includes:

* Single view: Asingle-view window displays the entire member utilization event.

* Automated workflow process: Client-defined rules evaluate care requests
automatically to determine approval status. 
* System integration: Full integration with claims systems and ability to view
clinical criteria from sources such as InterQual and Milliman to validate best
practices.

Added Gillette, "Ourexpanded UM solution allows payors and providers to focus on
vulnerable member populations with targeted outreach regarding their current
disease state or chronic conditions. These proactive efforts reduce unneeded or
preventable healthcare utilization while also improving member health and
quality of life."
