- (1888PressRelease) May 12, 2012 - Palo Alto, California: MetricStream, the market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, participated in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Large Plan Audit Group Meeting. The conference was held on April 29-May 01, 2012 in California. MetricStream Vice President of Customer Advocacy, Thomas Ludwig and Vice President of GRC Solutions, Mike Milton joined senior executives (risk and compliance experts in the health insurance industry) from a number of BCBS plans, to share their perspectives on the current fluctuating regulatory scenario and best practices that will help health insurance organizations build an effective GRC framework.
In the face of stricter regulatory norms health insurance companies have benefited from adopting a systematic GRC framework to execute compliance requirements. As numerous new regulations hit the industry, health insurance organizations need to discard manual processes, ad hoc and siloed monitoring, and upgrade to a more integrated and automated GRC framework to manage compliance requirements and mitigate risks.

MetricStream's integration with proprietary content repositories and external information creates a unique environment which ensures quick responsiveness to changes in the market.
