tools.
Today
managed care plans and other payors expect that a vendor will provide
disease management via the Web. Online dm will become another element
in the communication channel along with mail, phone and fax. But it
will be an effective and very efficient way of providing information on
a set of diseases.
More
than 25 per cent of participants in MCIC's e-Health Trends Audio
Conference believed disease management will be the online initiative
that will be embraced first. The online exclusive survey of
participants, included executives from technology companies,
pharmaceutical firms, managed care and other health insurance plans,
providers and consulting firms. Only claims processing drew more votes
in the survey of projected e-health "winners."
Disease
management applications also is high on the expansion list of
healthcare information and technology companies participating in an
exclusive survey by MCIC of the future agenda of HIT companies. While
Internet/Web related products and services was cited by the majority -
almost a third of respondents, disease management was rated among the
top four strategies, just behind Intranet solutions and clinical
pathways.
