Decision Tool Will Positively Impact the Future of Healthcare
PONTE VEDRA, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
The ability to predict future costs for member care and disease management is a
top concern for most self-insured employers. A collaboration between MDI
Healthcare Solutions and Wolfram|Alpha , LLC will deliver a Predictive Index
(PI) and ultimately reduce companies` annual healthcare costs significantly. 

MDI`s two-decade focus has been on medical solutions while Wolfram|Alpha`s
computational knowledge engine has recently stepped into the spotlight.
Wolfram|Alpha pairs its comprehensive knowledge base with artificial
intelligence to answer questions in ways they have never been answered. For
example, to determine the treatment cost for a specific diagnosis, data is
gathered from patient history and analyzed against medical data to project
future behaviors, and costs, in a matter of microseconds. 

"Companies will be able to proactively target specific health care issues, which
is better for the health of their bottom line as well as their members," said
MDI Healthcare Solutions President Ted Willich. 

The new Predictive Index from MDI Healthcare Solutions is expected to be
available next month. Licensing is underway to ensure its accessibility to
clients around the globe. 

MDI Healthcare Solutions is a Florida-based company that has earned a national
client roster through its commitment to claims accuracy and healthcare
solutions.Formerly Medical Partners of America, the company rebranded in 2009
when it added a suite of claims assessment services to its existing Claims
Monitoring and Custom Provider Network solutions. The company can be found on
the web at http://www.mdihealthcaresolutions.com/.

Wolfram|Alpha, LLC is a Wolfram Research company. Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal
is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to
everyone. The company aims to collect and curate all objective data; implement
every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute
whatever can be computed about anything. Wolfram|Alpha builds on the
achievements of science, and other systematizations of knowledge, to provide a
single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to
factual queries. Wolfram|Alpha was created with Mathematica - itself the result
of more than 20 years of development at Wolfram Research - and is being
developed by a world-class team of experts led by Stephen Wolfram.
