Product Line Analyst (PLA)
PLA supports the healthcare organization's quality, outcomes, and financial initiatives through integration of detailed patient, clinical, and financial data from across the enterprise. By leveraging our central Microsoft SQL Server® database, PLA can link clinical activity to financial data. Clients may assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and costs of patient care decisions as well as measure their impact on outcomes, care quality, and the financial health of the organization.
PLA provides a full toolset of applications for modeling and analyzing clinical and financial performance, including a flexible Contract Modeling module.
Both current and prospective contracts may be modeled using a virtually unlimited number of terms to calculate expected reimbursement, and to track expected versus actual reimbursement.
