SAN FRANCISCO, June 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- America's Health
Insurance Plans (AHIP) today announced a new AHIP Solutions partnership
with HealthTrio, a leading health information technology company, to assist
health insurance plans with providing Personal Health Records (PHR) to
their consumers.
"This partnership reflects our industry's strong commitment to
advancing greater adoption of Personal Health Records," said Charles
Stellar, Executive Vice President of AHIP.
HealthTrio's PHR allows consumers to participate in and fully manage
their care. It provides personalized health and wellness information for
each consumer and allows them to interact with the health plan in real-time
to review, update, and customize their own personal health maintenance and
health improvement plans.
"We are very excited to have been selected by AHIP for the Solutions
Partner program and look forward to working with their members," said Dr.
Malik Hasan, President and CEO of HealthTrio. "Together, we share the
belief that patient empowerment will foster improved care by placing the
focus where it belongs -- on the patient."
Key features of HealthTrio's PHR include:
-- Health Summary Record -- Patient data is aggregated into a
comprehensive patient record.
-- Decision-Support Tools -- Tools include care plans and wellness
alerts to assist members in making informed decisions regarding
cost-effective treatments and self-care.
-- Patient Care and Safety -- Medical history is tied directly to a
drug database for automated drug interaction verification, reducing the
potential for costly adverse drug events.
-- Secure Communications -- Members benefit from improved
communications with providers and care managers regarding appointments,
test results, prescriptions, and more.
-- Data Privacy -- Members determine permission rights for each
provider, group of providers, family members and other individuals.
-- Portability -- Full health record portability empowers members who
may need to provide medical data to specialists and providers.
Added Hasan, "HealthTrio PHR enables health plans to reduce costs
through the automation of administrative and financial processes, as well
as enhance organizational efficiency with expanded data access and
analysis. Additionally, plans benefit from increased member satisfaction
with self-service patient portals, which offer cost-effective online
benefit management and self-care tools."
