Covisint Webinar: How The Cloud Can Accelerate Healthcare Integration And Accountable Care

DETROIT, Feb. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covisint, a Compuware (Nasdaq:CPWR) company, will host a healthcare webinar detailing how providers and payers can connect and collaborate across multiple systems to reduce costs, deliver accountable care, comply with increasing government regulations and earn incentives. The February 12 webinar, titled: " Breaking Through the Barriers: Connecting Providers, Payers & Patients," will address how secure cloud engagement can provide a simple, rapid path to accountable care and HIEs.

The Covisint-sponsored webinar will feature John Stanley, Principal of Impact Advisors, along with Covisint's Chief Medical Information Officer, Dr. John Haughton and the company's Healthcare Product Manager, Dr. Steven Pap.

"To thrive today, healthcare organizations need a strategy to deliver proactive, population-based care--not reactive, episode-based care," said Stanley. "This means forging non-traditional partnerships between providers, payers and patients while capturing and using health information to improve care quality and efficiency. It also means engaging patients more effectively in helping them manage their own health."

Webinar attendees can learn about:

• current solution buckets and HIT acquisition strategies, including accountable care, HIE, and decision support;
• how to efficiently deliver robust comparative benchmarks and prioritize care management strategies; and,
• how Covisint's new solution, Covisint Healthcare, helps provider and payers to build or connect to existing communities through leading integration, data management, reporting and analytics technologies in the cloud.

"Covisint uniquely provides the care coordination tools needed across healthcare, including inpatient, ambulatory, post-acute and payer organizations," said Haughton. "Covisint's platform enables secure healthcare integration while enhancing communication, coordination and reporting--all difficult and time-consuming tasks. Attendees will find real value to improve and accelerate their success."
