FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Focused Health Solutions Enhances Analytics and Data Mining
Capabilities With New CareAnalyzer® Software
Adopts Powerful New Analytics Engine to Help Clients Maximize ROI From Population
Health Management Programs
WASHINGTON, DC -- Seventh Annual World Health Care Congress, April 12, 2010 – Focused
Health Solutions (FHS), a leading provider of customized population health management
services, today announced it has added the new DSTHS CareAnalyzer® Version 4.1 from DST
Health Solutions to its award-winning technology platform for integrated health management
solutions. CareAnalyzer® strengthens FHS’ sophisticated population data analysis capabilities
with new data mining features and reporting, including improved member risk profiling, better
identification of gaps in care and new provider profiling/performance evaluation.
“With CareAnalyzer®, Focused Health Solutions has turbocharged its data mining and
analytics capabilities, enabling our clients to maximize ROI from their FHS designed population
health management programs,” explained Michael Taylor, executive vice president of Strategy
and Business Development at FHS. “Its powerful identification capabilities and gaps in care
profiling tools enable us to work with our client data to stave off unnecessary medical costs by
proactively identifying high-risk patients for focused intervention,” he said.
“This software enhancement allows us to pinpoint up to 25 percent more unique members in a
client’s population for health management solutions,” he explained. “We also can mine member
data for co-morbidities and determine the best programs based on their potential cost
implications.”

According to Heather Knowles, FHS’ vice president of Information Services & Technology:
“With this new software, we can mine and analyze data on members’ health status in both
prospective and retrospective ways. This means we can look at the claims data and identify high
risk members for the next 12 months. We can generate reports for clients that will identify high,
average and low risk groups while controlling for risk differences, and also can help improve
quality by identifying the manageable gaps in care based on nationally recognized practice
guidelines.” (Quality markers are based on HEDIS, the Health Effectiveness Data and Information
Set.)
Knowles added that “CareAnalyzer® further allows measurement of member compliance
compared to national benchmarks. It also identifies specific members not receiving recommended
services and compares compliant and non-compliant members to understand the cost and risk
implications of gaps in care.”
“The software also enables provider profiling to evaluate physician/provider effectiveness in
the areas of preventive, acute, and chronic care using the standardized set of HEDIS/NCQA
performance measures. Armed with this data, quality of care discussions can be initiated,
ultimately helping improve compliance and patient access to quality care,” Knowles explained.
“With these new analytic capabilities,” Taylor concluded, “Focused Health Solutions will be
able to deliver the highest level of targeted interventions through its customized population health
management programs – and employers reap the benefits of significant return on investment.”
