Health Integrated Receives Key Disease Management Distinction

Tampa, Florida – November 20, 2008 – Health Integrated, a Targeted Population health management company focused on helping health plans deliver truly integrated care management, announced today that it is certified at the highest level in outcomes reporting analysis, a critical capability for delivering outcomes reports to clients. Health Integrated received advanced Critical Outcomes Report Analysis (CORA) certification by a top executive and Corporate CORA certification from the Disease Management Purchasing Consortium, (DMPC), a leading provider of strategy and procurement services to support the disease management industry.

As measured by the number of people who have sought it, CORA is the most desired certification in disease management outcomes. Advanced certification of Mike Forrester, PhD, Health Integrated’s Executive Vice President for Customer Delivery, recognizes his expertise in understanding, dissecting and critiquing concurrent study designs as well as pre-post analyses. Mike is one of only two people in the nation with advanced CORA certification from DMPC (see http://dismgmt.com/CORA_honorroll.htm).

Corporate CORA certification is a distinction that recognizes an organization as a whole based on multiple people being certified and incorporating those individuals in the outcomes report process. Only ten other vendor organizations of any kind have achieved this distinction.

“Health Integrated and Mike Forrester in particular should be commended for this achievement”, said Al Lewis, founder of DMPC and renowned industry consultant. “They are in very select company in being recognized for their expertise in the area of outcomes reporting analysis.”

“It is important for us as an organization to take the perspective of our customers when demonstrating the value and impact of our programs, particularly our Synergy Targeted Population Management™ program”, said Mike Forrester. “The DMPC certification process advances our thinking and further enables us to achieve our goals around delivering valued, relevant outcomes.”
