Sg2 to Showcase Growth and Value Solutions at National Accountable Care Organization Conference

SKOKIE, IL, Jun 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sg2, a health care intelligence and information services company, will
exhibit at the National Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Summit on
June 27-28 in Washington, DC. The company will feature its Sg2 EDGE
Growth Planning System and the Sg2 INSIGHT Clinical Performance
Management System -- metric-driven solutions that help organizations
improve quality, reduce costs and prioritize smart growth and performance
initiatives in the accountability era.

Pursuing formal ACO designation is the right strategy for some
organizations, but not all. With the passage of health care reform
legislation, new proposed ACO regulations and the emerging spectrum of
incentives, there has been an increased focus on measurement and
analytics, risk assumption and clinical integration. This shift has
caused organizations to explore performance-driven, analytics-informed
and value-based delivery models, including bundled payment, episode of
care-based payment and traditional ACO.

During the National ACO Summit, Sg2 representatives will discuss how
organizations can differentiate themselves with Sg2 expert-designed
proprietary intelligence, metrics, indices and benchmarks. Visitors at
Sg2's booth will have the opportunity to:

-- See a demonstration of Sg2's disease-based systems for smart growth
planning and clinical value improvement
-- Learn how the Sg2 Value Index(TM) is the bond rating equivalent for
clinical performance
-- Uncover which key performance metrics to monitor in the accountability
era
-- Discover how analytics and intelligence help develop an integrated
System of CARE (Clinical Alignment and Resource Effectiveness) as the
foundation for accountability

"In today's reform environment, high performers will apply a
rigorous approach to strategy and accountability for care. Metrics are
only part of the equation," says Sg2 President Steve Lefar. "Sg2's growth
and value analytics, intelligence and expert guidance help organizations
optimize their System of CARE to meet the new standards of value."
