Fico unleashes new analytics for fighting america's $700+ billion healthcare ...aldrencarlo
FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 adds link analysis, facility model to boost detection of fraud rings and suspicious providers
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of predictive analytics and decision management technology, today released the latest version of FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager, the most advanced system for detecting and preventing healthcare insurance fraud, waste and abuse. FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 integrates link analysis with business rules and predictive analytics, and also adds a facility model for detecting fraud at a hospital or an outpatient provider.
"Fraud has always been a part of the insurance business, but the magnitude of insurance fraud today is startling," said Russ Schreiber, who leads FICO's insurance practice. "Experts estimate the annual cost of health care fraud, waste and abuse in the US to be upwards of $700 billion, and last May one Medicare fraud scam alone racked up $452 million. Now, with FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3, insurers have a better way to fight back."
FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 boasts the first fully integrated link analysis capability with an insurance fraud application. Insurers who previously had to configure separate link analysis tools can now save time and improve results with an easy-to-use solution preconfigured to use health care claims data. With FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3, insurers can investigate organized fraud rings using the visualization capabilities of a proven link analysis tool set, and easily create displays that reveal connections between disparate claims, patients and providers.
"Integrating link analysis with Insurance Fraud Manager's powerful analytics and our advanced business rules gives insurers three ways to combat fraud, waste and abuse," said James Evans, vice president of network and financial management at McKesson Health Solutions, which provides Insurance Fraud Manager's analytics to U.S. insurers via its InvestiClaim® solution. "This triple protection gives insurers a powerful tool for fighting fraud, waste and abuse."
The new facility model in FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 scans enormous volumes of claims data for recurring, suspicious activity at a hospital or an outpatient provider. Telltale signs may include unusual scheduling with a single patient, unusually expensive procedures, and even such issues as patients being discharged and readmitted, which can indicate problems with quality of care.
Universal American, which piloted this model with FICO, received a 2012 FICO Decision Management Award this month for its use of FICO Insurance Fraud Manager to control costs and prevent fraud losses. Universal American, a leading provider of health benefits to people with Medicare, has implemented the FICO Insurance Fraud Manager solution into their claims workflow prior to payment, and integrated it with their claims platform, Facets.
AcuMedical was formed with the purpose of designing, developing, and promoting a minimally-invasive, integrated suite of medical devices that help patients and healthcare professionals effectively manage a variety of chronic or acute pain conditions through electro-stimulation.
It is crucial to highlight the atrocities occurring within the pain management industry. More specifically, prescription opioid-based painkillers, whose crippling side effects have now led to the White House declaring an official “public health emergency” in the United States. The rise of opioids to the forefront of the healthcare system has not only led to exponentially increasing overdose and hospitalization cases but also encourages illegal drug distribution to a growing population of victims.
Electro-stimulation and needle therapy procedures are well-known for their safety and effectiveness in treating chronic and acute pain. They are recommended by the FDA as a non-pharma therapy and useful in opiate rehab. AcuMedical has developed patent-pending technologies that introduce a procedure-based, digital electro-needle therapy platform that collects data qualified toward reliable insurance reimbursement and streamlines the therapy making patient treatment safer, consistent, and more effective.
With the global market for pain management devices totaling more than $3.2Bn in 2016 within the growing $60Bn global pain management therapeutics market, our products are positioned to gain prominence and compete within the exponentially expanding $130Bn traditional Chinese medicine market in China post-internationalization.

Patient centricity and digital solutionsAhmed Graouch
Beyond product offerings, it also positions Medtech companies to help hospitals and health systems transition to the future of health through services.
The term “digital twin” refers to the digital version of a physical device or process. By bridging the physical and the virtual worlds, data is transmitted seamlessly allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical device or process. Digital twins are emerging as virtual test beds for
possible solutions before they implement physical devices. These computer-based models are fed individual and population data and mimic the electrical and physical properties of an object.
Medical device companies are using this technology to simulate how their devices are being used in the
clinical setting.
In our view of the future of health, radically interoperable data is likely to play a huge role in transforming health care. Data from medical technologies such as wearables, remote monitors, and
sensors will be standardized, stored, updated, and aggregated with other sources of information such as social media platforms, retailers, and electronic health records.
The combined data will create a complete personal profile that physicians and health systems can use to help ensure that

The 10 companies booming in healthcare sector smallinsightscare
Development is a continuous process in any sector. It brings in more comfort, more precision, and more enhanced way of living.Acknowledging the remarkable contribution of the leading companies in the care sector, we bring to you the special issue of “The 10 Companies Booming in Healthcare Sector”.
Healthcare data and its impact upon the patient care decision process via accurate, real-time, reliable data from disparate sources is creating a digital health revolution. Data-driven healthcare is beginning to have a huge impact addressing the challenges of every provider, through efficient handling of huge volumes of patient care data.
Providers need to move towards real-time analytics that have become critical to demonstrate their quality of care, as reimbursement by government programs can be contingent upon how providers are measured in “Quality of Care”. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, also called the Permanent Doc Fix, changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed with the implementation of a merit based incentive. The performance-based pressure is huge, which makes it imperative that every provider consider technology solutions. Read more at https://www.solix.com/solutions/data-driven-solutions/healthcare/

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Mary Smith Needs Help
The last few years have been difficult for
Mary Smith. Fifty-three years old, she has
been struggling for decades with obesity and
diabetes. Then, two years ago, she suffered
a heart attack. She recovered well, but now
she has just been diagnosed with very high
blood pressure—suggesting that her weight
problem is now taking another toll. If her high
blood pressure and sugar levels are not
controlled she may have another heart attack
or suffer other complications of diabetes such
as blindness, amputation, or stroke. That she
lives alone and miles from her doctor only
makes her situation worse: her deteriorating
health is making her less and less able to
make her doctor’s appointments.

Dr. Jones and Nurse Lee Deliver Mary’s Care Remotely
Mary’s physician Dr. Jones clicks the Patient
Key Platform (PKP) button on his EMR screen
and logs into the PKP. After calling up Mary’s
page, he prescribes the VA Diabetes Bundle—
including Fitness Buddy, Glucose Buddy,
iBGStar Meter, Withings Blood Pressure
Monitor, Diabetes Tracker, and Fitbit Zip—as
well as Cardio Buddy and Nike+ FuelBand. All
of these apps and devices are also regularly
used by the patients of the clinic’s care
coordinator, Nurse Jennifer Lee; and they also
all share a five-star PKP ranking. At the same
time, Mary’s employer, NanoSoft, has identified
high blood sugar as a main health challenge to
its employees—and is offering a discount on the
VA Diabetes Bundle, Fitness Buddy, and Cardio
Buddy.

Mary Can Rely on Prescribed Apps and Devices
Mary purchases the apps and devices from
the PKP using her Patient Key account. Also,
following Nurse Lee’s recommendations, she
downloads the portfolio of free and retail
apps—including one which can recommend
food based on her last few blood pressure/
glucose readings (even suggesting she stay
away from the fast food joint she is currently
driving past). Another notifies her about
activities she can do based upon her location
and the weather—i.e., if the weather is good
and she is in the park, it will tell her that if she
walks for 20 minutes she will burn 100
calories.

19. PatientKey, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential Information
Everyone Sees All the Results in One Place
Every time Mary uses one of the health
apps or devices prescribed by Nurse Lee
or Dr. Jones, the results are uploaded to
her account on the PKP. There, different
data streams are integrated to give Mary,
Dr. Jones, and Nurse Lee a complete
and dynamic ‘control panel’ of Mary’s
current health.

Nurse Lee Checks in on Mary Regularly
Over the next six months, Nurse Lee
regularly checks in on Mary’s vitals and
adherence. She can look at Mary’s short
and long-term usage and determine if
Mary is committed to improving her health,
understands the equipment, and is using her
apps and devices as prescribed.
23. PatientKey, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential Information 23
PatientKey Saves Mary’s Life
The most recent readings from Glucose Buddy shows
that Mary’s blood pressure is dangerously high. As a
result, the PKP automatically lists her in the ‘Alerts’
category on Dr. Jones’ home page. Seeing this when
she stops in her office between patient visits, Nurse
Lee moves Mary from the ‘Alerts’ category to the
‘Priority’ category and notifies Dr. Jones, who quickly
calls up the results of Mary’s latest blood pressure
readings. He also calls up her glucose level. It too is at
a dangerous level—and has been continuously
climbing over the last forty-eight hours.
Dr. Jones asks Nurse Lee to immediately contact Mary
and check on her status. Nurse Lee calls Mary on her
cell phone and finds Mary is alone at home and not
well. Nurse Lee sends an ambulance to Mary’s home.
Mary goes into cardiac arrest on the way to the
hospital, but because she is in the right place, the
paramedics save her life.

Mary is a PatientKey Believer
25
Mary, better now, is home from the hospital, and 30
pounds lighter. She logs into her PatientKey
account and gives a five-star ranking to the
Glucose Buddy app and leaves a glowing review.
Meanwhile, with her vital signs now back in the
safe range, Nurse Lee removes Mary from the
‘Priority’ category on Dr. Jones’ PatientKey home
page. The PKP also reminds them that it is Mary’s
birthday, in case they want to drop her a note—and
a gift certificate to the local juice bar.
Moving forward, Mary’s data continues to be
updated on the PKP, anonymized, and made
available to her employer, NanoSoft. HR continues
to monitor its employees to determine which apps
and devices are worthy of discounts.
