Blue Cross And Blue Shield Of Louisiana Partners With Blue Health Intelligence On Best-In-Class Provider Reporting And Data Sharing

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana announced a multi-year partnership with Blue Health Intelligence (BHI) to use BHI's analytics tools to give healthcare providers in the insurer's network more actionable, accurate, and user-friendly cost and quality reports. The partnership relies on BHI's analytic capabilities to bundle care for thousands of conditions and complex treatments into clinically meaningful units of analysis and use a scalable clinical quality rules engine that measures quality improvement initiatives. Together, these capabilities comprise BHI's Provider Index, a solution that enables stakeholders to assess the cost and quality of care delivered in different settings. Blue Cross plans to begin delivering the new reports to healthcare providers before the end of this year.
