Come watch our presentation on “A Clear Case for Transparency in Cost Containment: Gain Visibility for Bottom Line Impact and Compliance.”
Speaker: Paul Vosters, President and COO of Discovery Health Partners
In an era of unprecedented belt tightenting and evolving health reform, there’s a clear case to be made for greater transparency in healthcare cost containment. Visibility driven by smarter, more effective use of information and innovation in process drives measurable bottom line results through maximized savings, minimized costs, and new levels of value. This session will showcase real-world examples of how health plans, third-party administrators, and self-funded groups are using on-demand information to more effectively review and control the performance of their investigation programs, better monitor vendor partners, and adhere to ever-changing reporting and compliance mandates such as ERISA and Sarbanes-Oxley. The session will include a self-evaluation tool that attendees can use to assess “the transparency factor” in their own initiatives in subrogation, COB, overpayment recovery, and dependent eligibility.

Cloudburst or spring shower: Musings on Amazon’s outage
Some of you may know about Amazon’s recent troubles with an outage in its eastern region that brought down its cloud services for hundreds (thousands?) of cloud-based web sites, some of them for days. From The Wall Street Journal to the New York Times to minions of bloggers, everybody had a comment on the first major stumble in “cloudom.” Events like this feed the FUD factor (fear, uncertainty and doubt) that follows cloud. However, they can also help mature everyone’s understanding and provide needed perspective.
We at Discovery Health Partners live in the cloud. We run our business infrastructure on Google and other service providers, and our client applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). We lived through this first major test of its durability and reliability. Our take: Amazon’s cloudburst was a mere spring shower, expected and needed to help cloud flourish. READ FULL PERSPECTIVE>>
