Milliman MedInsight’s Analytic Platform Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape Report

SEATTLE, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., one of the premier global consulting and actuarial firms, today announced that its popular healthcare analytic platform, MedInsight, has been named a leader in the IDC MarketScape study, entitled "U.S. Payer Data Analytics 2015 Vendor Assessment, doc #HI255269, April 2015." The company is one of eight vendors evaluated in the report.

MedInsight is positioned as a leader of this IDC MarketScape report—which provides an evaluation of the leading payer data analytic platforms—due to high satisfaction ratings from clients in terms of the high degree of flexibility, advanced analytics, and analytic tools supporting multiple types of users.

The report notes that Milliman's strengths include the MedInsight Data Confidence Model—a methodology applied as a data warehouse is being created, and then leveraged on an ongoing basis for client data management—as well as the MedInsight benchmarking function that enables clients to benchmark organizational performance against Milliman's health research database.

"The MedInsight mission is to provide analytic leadership and decision confidence to our clients. The fast-moving and uncertain nature of the healthcare industry demands a nimble and growing analytic platform," said Kent Sacia, Milliman Principal. "The IDC MarketScape report affirms the MedInsight team's hard work toward that mission as we continuously commit to adding value to our clients."
