Utilization management and data acquisition: a case study.
The more a company knows about the source and nature of its health care costs, the more likely it is to make good cost-effective decisions. Three different companies, with the help of health care management vendors, were able to make significant health cost savings by organizing their data in creative ways. Combining different sources of cost data enabled them to answer questions they could not have answered through any single source.
