WorldDoc, Inc. and D2Hawkeye, Inc. announced today a strategic partnership to develop an enhanced consumer care gap identification system. D2Hawkeye’s wide range of clinical rules to predict individual and aggregate risk within a population will be integrated with WorldDoc’s consumer care management systems. The result will be earlier identification of medical care gaps for individuals with access to WorldDoc’s systems. Healthcare consumers will be further empowered to make better personal health decisions, leading to improved health outcomes and cost control.
The core component of WorldDoc’s consumer care management systems, WorldDoc 24/7, is an intuitive, interactive personal health management application that empowers users to evaluate symptoms, understand their health issues, assess health risks and take steps to decrease those risks. WorldDoc 24/7 collects, analyzes and integrates a user’s medical, prescription and personal health data to provide a comprehensive care management solution that includes personalized medical goals, care gap identification and communication with targeted, actionable treatment suggestions.
“This collaboration will enable consumers to receive personalized information from rules jointly developed by D2Hawkeye and WorldDoc clinicians. With D2Hawkeye as the ‘rules intelligence’ inside our system, we will be able to measure the immediate proactive effect of consumers’ behavior change. As further encouragement, we will be measuring the engagement levels and behavioral change impact over time,” said Rahul Singal, MD, president and CEO of WorldDoc, Inc. “It’s one thing to tell someone what to do; it’s another to determine their intent of action and provide them with meaningful and personal information that helps them reach their goals.”
D2 Hawkeye is a market leader in managing clinical risks and costs through intensive data mining techniques and automating the analytical process. D2Hawkeye will offer WorldDoc’s web-based consumer care management solution to their clients interested in engaging members through a consumer interfacing system.
Chris Kryder, MD, chairman and CEO of D2Hawkeye, is similarly enthusiastic about this important alliance. “Through WorldDoc’s consumer care management systems, we will readily embed our analytical methods in order to pinpoint the evidence-based medical opportunities required for early interventions. The fragmentation of care and information which is so common today has created a huge hole; the combination of WorldDoc’s portal and D2’s rules and predictive analytics fills this hole, and drives proactive engagement of the member. The freer flow of information will unequivocally improve outcomes and reduce costs,” said Kryder.
