The CareRadius suite, a web-based, service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution, functions as the care management desktop. It brings together all data and activities related to a member's health into a single, "member-centric" view. The integration of these two solutions automates clinically valid patient care plans, and improves the consistency and efficiency of care management while supporting efforts to meet and maintain industry accreditation standards.
"By combining our advanced clinical content with Landacorp's care management solution, we actually leverage the power of each to even better optimize care planning automation," said Lynn Nemiccolo, Milliman Care Guidelines Vice President of Product Management. "Such offerings make improved evidence-based clinical review possible throughout the entire continuum of care."
