MEDecision Introduces Innovations in Collaborative Health Management at Key Industry Events

WAYNE, PA--(Marketwire - Jun 6, 2011) - MEDecision, Inc., the leading provider of collaborative health management solutions, will showcase innovations to its market-leading health management platform at two upcoming industry events -- the 2011 Western External Operations Conference (EOC), June 7-10 in Chicago, and America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute 2011, June 15-17 in San Francisco.

With $85+ million in research and development invested in a new generation of collaborative health management solutions, MEDecision is poised to support the healthcare industry's transformation. The Company's release of its latest Alineo and InFrame iEXCHANGE products -- designed to enhance the flow of actionable patient clinical information among payers, providers and patients -- drive lower costs and superior care quality.

"Right now, our highest priority is to provide tools to support new care delivery models -- such as accountable care organizations and patient centered medical homes -- and accelerate the transition from fee-for-service to collaborative care," said Deborah M. Gage, president and chief executive officer of MEDecision. "Leading healthcare organizations have trusted MEDecision to support the care management of their members -- over 46 million lives -- for more than 22 years. And, we are now advancing collaborative health management with next-generation architecture, providing clients with the flexible and scalable solutions they need as the industry evolves and transforms."

Highlights of the new Alineo 3.1 and InFrame iEXCHANGE 8.2 platforms include:

• A flexible service-oriented architecture for enhanced data integration and business agility
• A comprehensive communication and education module to proactively engage members in their health management
• An enhanced 360-degree member view to better identify gaps in care, track interactions, improve payer-provider communication and report value to employers
• Evidence-based case and disease management programs and improved utilization management to ensure clinical consistency and medical necessity
• An automated, streamlined payer-provider communication service to drive administrative savings
• Proven scalability to seamlessly manage growing populations and expanding lines of businesses -- the only health management platform with experience supporting payers' ever-growing population needs -- up to 50 million members and 4,000 concurrent users -- without compromising performance
• ICD-10 and HIPAA 5010 support to prepare for compliance mandates
