The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM

Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the provider of data integration and business intelligence software, says Wisconsin-based Dean Health Plan (DHP) has successfully implemented a healthcare provider portal powered by the Informatica PowerCenter data integration platform. “By providing more than 1,000 providers with access to timely, consolidated views of patient eligibility and claim information, as well as a faster and more efficient method for submitting referral requests and drug authorizations, PowerCenter is helping DHP to increase healthcare provider efficiency and reduce information management costs,” Informatica says.
“The payback we’ve received from PowerCenter has been immense, particularly in terms of enhanced practitioner efficiency,” said Jenny Mangasarian, information technology project manager at Dean Health Plan. “Although the project required integration of complex data from multiple disparate systems, and a very aggressive data delivery schedule, we were able to complete the data extraction process for over 25 data files in less than three weeks. Not only did PowerCenter save us multiple months of effort, it is helping us very quickly and inexpensively respond to requests for new types of information.”
“DHP is one of the largest and most diversified HMOs in the Midwest, covering a 22-county service area,” Informatica notes. “In order to provide the physician network with single-source access to eligibility, claims, referral, provider and other healthcare information, PowerCenter is used to extract and integrate data from a range of Oracle, SQL Server, legacy and back-office transaction systems. The data is consolidated and transferred nightly to the portal’s Windows NT-based information repository. PowerCenter also helps DHP integrate data entered by providers using the portal back into the data warehouse and other OLTP support applications on a nightly basis.”
“The squeeze is on healthcare systems to provide more effective services while holding the line on costs,” said Paul Albright, chief marketing officer at Informatica. “This means putting more meaningful and comprehensive data into the hands of care providers, streamlining the information-access process to enhance physician effectiveness, and analyzing all available data on patients, treatments, outcomes and research as Dean Health Plan has done using PowerCenter as the company’s integration backbone.”

Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
