Portico Systems Webinar: A Healthcare Cost Cure via Automated Provider Contracts
Evolving Provider Contract Management for Reform Readiness and Administrative Cost Reduction.
- Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) February 16, 2011 - Portico Systems, the leader in Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions for payers, will present a complimentary webinar to discuss why payers are changing their provider contract management processes and systems to enable payment reform and reduce administrative costs.
PPACA mandates, coupled with the continuous rising healthcare cost curve, are causing an evolution of the payer and provider contractual relationship. The intent of the new relationship focuses on including a provider's performance in order to shift the healthcare system away from a fee-for-service model. These changes require payers to leverage automation and integration to transform their manual and paper-based contracting processes. In fact, market analysts have stated that 48 percent of health plans are planning network and contract management investments in 2011.
A flexible and automated provider contract management system must be a foundational element in evolving the payer and provider relationship. During this webinar we will examine a health plan case study. We will discuss how the utilization of an automated provider contract management platform increases provider contract flexibility while achieving a 50 percent reduction in contract cycle times.
This webinar will include a live demonstration of Portico's Provider Contract Management solution. Attendees will learn:
• How PPACA and market pressures are causing an evolution of provider contract management
• How leveraging an automated provider contract management platform can enable greater flexibility, reduced cycle time and increased process transparency
• What are some of the options to get started with an automated provider contract initiative
