TZIX Trizetto Grp. (MM)

The TriZetto Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TZIX) announces the availability of industry expert and TriZetto Chief Solutions Officer Dan Spirek to discuss how payers can repair the current healthcare affordability crisis by utilizing Integrated Healthcare Management (IHM). IHM is the systematic application of processes and shared information to optimize the coordination of benefits and care for the healthcare consumer, driven by the convergence of three key technology competencies: Core Benefit Administration to automate business processes and enhance efficiency, to provide the flexibility to administer diverse plan designs, integrate with third party solutions and adapt rapidly to change. Care Management to support enhanced communications, increase collaboration with members and care providers and improve cost and quality of care. Constituent Engagement to foster successful interactions with members, providers, employers and brokers by providing the relevant tools and information they need, when they need it. �Payers are ideally positioned to lead the way toward IHM,� said Spirek. �Using the right information technology and processes, payers can coordinate the flow of core benefit, care management and constituent information across the system. By personalizing this information, payers can make it more relevant and purposeful for each constituent. By building incentives into the system, payers can help drive positive behavior. And by taking these initiatives, payers can significantly improve the quality of care and reduce systemic costs.� Further information on IHM is published in a new TriZetto whitepaper entitled, �Integrated Healthcare Management: Powering a New Era of Healthcare,� available by request at salesinfo@trizetto.com. Media requests for the white paper or an interview with Dan Spirek may be directed to Schwartz Communications at 781-684-0770 or trizetto@schwartz-pr.com.
