FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ZeOmega, Inc., the premier provider of software solutions for population healthcare management, announced today that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care is expanding its use of ZeOmegas integrated care management software, Jiva to include support for utilization management functions. As part of its expanded use of Jiva, Harvard Pilgrim will also upgrade to the latest version of Jiva, version 5.x.

Harvard Pilgrim selected Jiva in 2009 to further enable its vision for integrated health management. As a result, Harvard Pilgrim was able to enhance its member engagement by using sophisticated clinical analytics that quickly and accurately identify members with or at risk of chronic conditions. With the addition of the utilization management functionality, all of Harvard Pilgrims health management activities will be supported on a single platform.

Harvard Pilgrim is a leader in integrated health management, and choosing ZeOmega as our technology partner has been key to our success, says Anne Metzger, vice president of health management for Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. Adding utilization management to the functions supported by Jiva provides our team with additional opportunities to engage our members in managing their health.

Jiva, ZeOmegas care management platform, transforms traditional episodic-based care management into proactive and collaborative population healthcare management through EHR-enabled care plans, point-of-care tools, decision support, analytics, and user-configurable workflows. Jiva enables the integration of workflows across the care management continuum, automating intelligently based on client business rules, and providing more effective collaboration among the health plan, its providers and members.

Harvard Pilgrim is known for its innovative programs that focus on member engagement and client satisfaction, says Nandini Rangaswamy, executive vice president for ZeOmega. We are excited to expand this relationship as Harvard Pilgrim continually raises the bar for population health management.

Both companies are attending the AHIP Institute 2013 on Transforming Our Health Care System: Navigating and Succeeding in the New Marketplace, June 12-14 in Las Vegas. Attendees can learn more about ZeOmegas population health management solutions at booth 209.
