ARS Humano Selects HealthEC®

PISCATAWAY, N.J., May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthEC^®, a leading pioneer in population health management solutions, announced today that ARS Humano, a major provider of health plans and related services in the Dominican Republic, has chosen to implement HealthEC^®'s Care Coordinator solution.  The solution will support ARS Humano's more than one million members, as well as over 130 clinics, 125 laboratories, more than 100 pharmacies, and over 3,000 physicians.

HealthEC^®'s Care Coordinator will provide ARS Humano with complex case management, as well as disease management, including assessments, patient care plans, intervention scheduling, document uploading, patient education, and history on outreaches to their contacts.  ARS Humano came to HealthEC^® with a challenging goal.  They were seeking a solution that would allow them to integrate, from beginning to end, all of their different types of members, including chronic care patients and patients with other specific health risks, in order to optimize results and raise the quality of life for their covered population.  ARS Humano's primary objective was to find a solution that would allow them to fulfill their mission of raising the quality of life of their members by providing optimal health solutions.

According to Jaime Caycedo, Vice President of Health Services: "We tested three other vendors and decided on HealthEC^®, among the others, for its versatility, its user-friendly interface, and intuitive tool, which will facilitate its rapid adoption by our managers and our suppliers. However, the deciding factor was HealthEC^®'s ability to scale their scope and interactively integrate all participants in the care of our patients (Providers, affiliates, doctors, hospitals, etc.).

Sita Kapoor, CIO of HealthEC^® states: "ARS Humano is a leader in the healthcare segment in the Dominican Republic, and one of the top 15 companies in that country.  As such an organization, their commitment and passion to improve their population's health truly stands out.  We are happy to provide them with a fully integrated solution that will allow them to succeed in their goals of providing the best quality health solutions, through their broad and flexible health plans.  In addition to integrating all their disparate information technology systems from various vendors to create a true interoperable environment for better coordination of care, we will be able to provide strategic guidance and consulting services to see them through the process."
