Rising challenges call for transformative leadership

The burdens of exponential costs, disparate programmatic information, divergent technologies, increasing enrollments, and the pressure to improve program integrity continue to challenge public health and human services programs.

Current budget crises and intensified scrutiny of these programs result in the need to improve efficiency and quality of health care with cost-effective solutions. More and more, government initiatives focus on the innovative and advanced use of technology and analytics as the vehicle for achieving significant and measurable improvements.

Leaders in HHS technology

At OptumInsight, we’re making the most of our leadership position in health and human services technology by helping to transform government agencies into efficient, cost-effective programs with decision support, informatics, and program analysis. Combined, these tools and services convert raw data into valuable, actionable information that makes a difference to agencies and the people they serve.  

Examples include: 

• States that use OptumInsight Business Intelligence Solutions account for more than one of every three dollars spent on Medicaid: $100 billion annually.

• Since 2005, Michigan has documented $200 million annually in financial benefits through greater efficiencies, program enhancements, and improved health outcomes.

• Illinois became a leader in pay-for-performance programs by tracking physicians who both improve the health of patients and do so efficiently. Approximately $5 million were paid to physicians who achieved benchmarks for child immunizations, child development screenings, asthmas management, and breast cancer screening for Medicaid recipients.
