Care Management Technologies (CMT), a data-driven population health analytics company that specializes in behavioral health, announced its newest client, Alliance Behavioral Healthcare.  Alliance will employ CMT’s ProAct, the industry leading behavioral healthcare data analytics and decision-support tool, to improve its approach to managing the overall health of its members. Benefits to Alliance will range from identifying opportunities to proactively address the needs of individuals before they experience the potentially devastating effects of chronic health issues, to enhanced ability to monitor and evaluate provider practices and the impact of its care integration efforts.

“We selected CMT because we believe that we will be able to leverage their analytics expertise and the knowledge base of their health care experts to accelerate the delivery and effectiveness of care integration for our members,” said Sean Schreiber, Chief Clinical Officer at Alliance.

“We’re excited to be working with Alliance Behavioral Healthcare,” said Carol Clayton, CEO at CMT.  “Our focus is on helping customers like Alliance who manage complex behavioral health populations, so they can improve quality of care and lower costs for their population.  With ProAct we can bring insight and action to comprehensive data sets, and enable clients to speed the implementation of best practices – optimizing care and reducing variability that leads to poor outcomes and high costs.”

Alliance will utilize ProAct’s capacity to combine clinical and claims data to gain a clear, 360° view of patient care and patient needs.  The company will also take advantage of ProAct’s more advanced features, including analyzing patients against an anonymized claims database with more than 800 million Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance claims data points, tracking performance improvements based on customized and industry metrics, providing action based analytics through interoperable platforms at the patient level, and utilizing CMT’s risk alerts to prevent emergency room and hospital readmissions.  In addition, Alliance will rely on groundbreaking work by CMT’s health experts which ensures that the latest evidence-based behavioral health research outcomes are incorporated directly into the analysis engine.

Using ProAct, Alliance can organize and analyze all available data to better understand and manage risk, taking into account everything from adherence markers and gaps in care to costly co-morbid conditions and underlying addiction or substance dependency concerns.  Drawing on more than 200 proprietary and validated clinical rules, ProAct will guide enhancements in Alliance decision-making that foster more efficient and effective delivery and management of care.
