inVentiv Medical Management Receives Two More Accreditations in Population
Health Management
iMM Helps Providers Enter New Era of Value-Based Care by Providing
Comprehensive, Quality Services that Improve Outcomes
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – August 1, 2013 – inVentiv Health Medical Management (iMM)
announced today that it has become part of a select group of companies receiving three
accreditations in Population Health Management (PHM) from a national organization setting
quality standards for U.S. healthcare. PHM has become a centerpiece in improving patient
outcomes under the Affordable Care Act.
iMM received the three accreditations from URAC, the nation’s largest accrediting body for
PHM. Under the federal Affordable Care Act providers are rewarded for the value of the care
they deliver to patients rather than the volume of care. Providers must deliver improved
outcomes at lower costs. PHM helps deliver evidence-based, coordinated care across the
healthcare continuum, from promoting wellness to managing complex chronic diseases.
“As providers sprint to meet the federal requirements under the Affordable Care Act, they can
turn to us as their single source for management of population health,” said Marc Palmer,
CEO of iMM. “For employers, human resources professionals and claims administrators, it is
far easier to manage a single provider that they can count on for the highest quality services,
rather than multiple providers.”
iMM now holds accreditation in Health Utilization Management, Case Management and
Disease Management services from URAC:
• Health Utilization Management: The first accreditation from URAC, received in 2012,
was for the independent, clinical evaluation of the appropriateness, medical need and
efficient use of healthcare services according to evidence-based guidelines and
individual health plan benefits.
• Case Management: One of the two most recent accreditations, effective July 1,
recognizes the quality of iMM’s collaborative care process between a consumer, care
providers and clinical case managers toward the goal of promoting cost-effective
outcomes and a return to health.
• Disease Management: The second of the most recent accreditations, this one
recognizes the high quality of iMM’s delivery and coordination of health interventions
over the long term by nurses who help consumers reduce the financial, emotional and
physical burdens of chronic disease.
“By applying for and receiving Case Management and Disease Management accreditation,
inVentiv Medical Management has demonstrated a commitment to quality healthcare,” said
URAC Chief Operating Officer William Vandervennet. “Quality healthcare is crucial to our
nation’s welfare and it is important to have organizations that are willing to measure
NEWS RELEASE
themselves against national standards and undergo rigorous evaluation by an independent
accrediting body.”
iMM employs an in-house medical team of physicians and nurses, as well as dieticians and
social workers, to manage care. These experts tap a proprietary database, the inFinitē
Platform, which enables predictive modeling to inform the coordinated care of individual
patients. iMM delivers services appropriate to the individual, while eliminating gaps in care,
promoting cost effectiveness and creating a seamless experience for consumers.
iMM programs that combine the three accredited services have already shown measurable
success in improving outcomes for patients suffering from some of the most complex, costly
diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease.
