TriZetto Expert Dan Spirek Available to Comment on Solutions for Competing in the Emerging Consumer Retail Healthcare Market

Posted on: Monday, 17 September 2007, 09:00 CDT

The TriZetto Group Inc. (NASDAQ:TZIX) offers industry expert Dan Spirek to speak on the challenges facing the healthcare retail market. Spirek, senior vice president and chief solutions officer at TriZetto, will present his views as a keynote speaker at the Second Annual Consumer Driven Healthcare Summit on ways to succeed in the rapidly changing industry.

As Americans shoulder a rapidly increasing share of the cost for their health benefits and medical care, a "consumer retail" market is emerging in healthcare. The consumer-retail healthcare market consists of a model that emphasizes the consumer's increased financial role, as well as their role in healthy lifestyle choices and a more accountable role in decisions about their medical treatment options and delivery choices. Health plans are ideally positioned to meet consumer, provider, purchaser and broker needs, by providing real-time information in areas such as benefit, fund and health status; treatment cost; and provider quality, however many payers still do not offer this to their constituents.

Health plans that succeed in this market will foster positive relationships, efficiency and superior outcomes across all healthcare constituents. Spirek will discuss how "unlocking" data can change the behavior of consumers and providers. Through technology like TriZetto's, health plans are capable of seamlessly orchestrating interactions and transactions among constituents. Data can be offered in real-time through solutions integrated with payers' core administrative systems, rapidly extracting pertinent data and converting it to useful information.

TriZetto has taken an integrated and systematic approach to cost transparency and to the retail healthcare environment. The company's solutions work together, using a common technology and architecture, to provide consistent and personalized information to everyone in the healthcare continuum.

Spirek is responsible for TriZetto's definition and delivery of market-facing solutions, including consumer-directed and government program offerings. He can discuss the consumer retail market and how payers can win customer satisfaction and improve their bottom lines in this competitive industry, including:

The affordability crisis in healthcare and solutions payers can provide to effectively and efficiently coordinate benefits and care for a consumer

How payers can use the data that they have to orchestrate a clear understanding of information for all constituents

The ways to unlock and expose necessary information and that meet the needs of employers, providers, brokers and consumers.
