TriZetto Agreement with Microsoft HealthVault – Consumers Managing their Own Healthcare

With the new connection set in place later this year, consumers who are part of the networks and payers served by Trizetto will be able to import their claim and other relative healthcare information into the HealthVault. You will be aware one way or another or I should say have the availability to have this information in a PHR. One good reason I always say to get active with a PHR is to get the records and check for errors, they do exist as we are taking data from potentially many years back from various data bases so you could in fact find information that is not correct.

We will all have business intelligence soon with healthcare, or will have it available everywhere it appears. BD

CareMore Health Plan Invests in Business Intelligence for Acute and Chronic Illness Management

The TriZetto Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TZIX) today announced an agreement with Microsoft Corp. under which TriZetto will develop a connector for its payer customers that enables members of health plans to use TriZetto™s Member Benefit Profile„ application with Microsoft HealthVault„.

The Member Benefit Profile software gives plan members a Web-based, personalized healthcare financial statement. A display summarizes information about health status, medical treatments, insurance claims, remaining deductibles, status of pre-authorizations, reimbursements and medical account fund balances, available online or as a hard-copy. HealthVault is a secure Web-based platform that helps patients collect, store and share health information with family members and participating healthcare providers. It brings together third-party applications and tools that enable individuals to manage their fitness, diet and health.

The connector between the Member Benefit Profile software and HealthVault will provide improved portability of information for consumers, as well as provide a health information portability solution for payers that will enhance their ability to serve employer groups.
