Posted on: Tuesday, 3 June 2008, 09:00 CDT
WorldDoc, Inc. has received Health Information Product Certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for its Health Risk Appraisal and Interactive Consumer Health Tools. Using WorldDoc's Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and Interactive Consumer Health Tools, complete with NCQA certification, reduces duplicative oversight and inefficient gathering of information by health plans.
WorldDoc's Health Risk Assessment is an integral part of WorldDoc 24/7, an interactive personal health management system, and WorldDoc Tx, a comprehensive care gap management tool that empowers patients and providers to assess health risks, better understand their health issues and improve overall health. WorldDoc's interactive health tools promote self-care, influence positive behavior changes, and help members decrease their healthcare costs.
"Earning NCQA's HIP Certification demonstrates that an organization has expertise in gathering and disseminating health care information for health plan members," said Kathleen C. Mudd, Vice President, Product Delivery, NCQA. "WorldDoc, Inc. is to be commended for being one of the first organizations in the nation to be reviewed for these services."
"One of the primary reasons we selected WorldDoc 24/7 as our member portal was to support our NCQA certification requirements for member wellness education and health management initiatives," said George Andrews, MD, SVP & Chief Medical Officer, Cariten Health Plans. "The quality and usefulness of their information and the user-friendly interactive tools set them apart when it comes to personal health management."
"Since its inception, WorldDoc has endeavored to provide consumers with relevant and actionable personal health information that will help them make better health decisions," said Rahul Singal, MD, President and CEO at WorldDoc. "The NCQA's HIP Certification is a milestone in delivering common, strict standards for quality assurance. We feel privileged to be among the first organizations to receive the NCQA Certification."
