Analyst Firm Puts the Spotlight on Portico’s Software and Service Solutions for Healthcare Payer Provider Management
Philadelphia, PA, July 27, 2010 – Portico Systems, the leader in Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions, was chosen by IDC Health Insights to be the focus for a special report that provides a detailed view into Portico’s market position, provider management software and service capabilities and future strategic direction. Additionally, the report provides analyst commentary on why assets such as Portico are necessary for successful reform change.
“We are excited to be featured in IDC Health Insights’ Profile Report,” said Sam Muppalla, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer of Portico Systems. “This report further validates what we’ve always known to be true – our IPM solutions are first in class and provide our payer clients with provider management capabilities they need for today and into the future.”
ABSTRACT: Healthcare payers have long used a number of un-integrated and disparate applications for designing, building, serving, and reimbursing their provider networks. A number of industry trends, including healthcare reform, new product delivery, the focus on cost containment and quality improvements, payment reform, and new integrated clinical/payment models such as the medical home now move provider management into a necessarily strategic requirement. Portico has uniquely invested in and established an integrated strategic technology solution and support solutions to meet future integrated provider network, reimbursement, and clinical business requirements.
