D2Hawkeye adds Analytical Horsepower to HHS, Health Options Case Management Capabilities
WELLESLEY, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- July 28, 2004 -- Medical Management Software Company and Utilization Management Firm Team Up to Fight Rising Medical Costs
D2Hawkeye, a medical management software company and Michigan based HHS, Health Options(R), a health care utilization management company serving self-funded employer groups have announced a strategic business partnership whereby D2Hawkeye's flagship product, D2HawkeyeExplorer, will be the information portal providing data mining and analytical analysis to the HHS, Health Options(R) team of Case Managers.
In making the announcement Richard Hodsdon, Director of Marketing and Business Development for HHS, Health Options(R) stated, "D2Hawkeye's ability to quickly mine and analyze health care claims data dramatically increases our case management team's productivity while providing more concise, actionable information. As a result we are able to help people at the point of diagnosis verses waiting until their expenses are out of control."
"While D2Hawkeye now provides both financial and clinical medical management analysis, our founding premise was to provide powerful analytical tools to clinicians so that they could better manage patients," added Chris Kryder MD, founder and CEO of D2Hawkeye. "Our partnership with HHS, Health Options(R) is a wonderful demonstration of D2Hawkeye's core philosophy."
With health care cost reaching double digit increases every year, early and effective clinical intervention for individual patients and groups directly attacks the medical side of health care costs by treating patients in a timely fashion, before conditions worsen and medical costs soar. The HHS, Health Options(R) and D2Hawkeye partnership represents the coming together of two organizations in the health care service continuum to jointly address this issue.
