OptumHealth’s Reporting & Insights group uses various data-integration tools, intelligent reporting systems and analytic methodologies to help employers identify, measure, monitor and continually improve health initiatives while managing costs.
Among these tools is Parallax i ®, which is a web-based health and productivity decision-support tool for employers and benefit sponsors. Parallax i includes data warehouse and analytics for virtually any type of data that can be imported (medical claims, prescriptions, eligibility, workers’ compensation, disability, health risk assessments, program management, etc.). The solution is designed for organizations with in-house analytic staff that require ad-hoc functionality and drill-down capabilities to view details in claim- and service-level data.
Parallax i delivers comprehensive reporting and data analysis of benefit programs, including group health, disability, incidental absence, and health management. Automatic alerts notify you when deviations from present thresholds occur, so you can immediately take action when something threatens productivity or profitability.
Parallax i can be used with our normative data to compare your organization’s experience to similar companies that are adjusted for differences in plan design, age, gender and severity of illness. In addition, the solution can provide additional insight when combining employer data with various powerful analytic methodologies:
- Episode Treatment Groups®: Enables employers to gain a clinical understanding of their population health
- Episode Risk Groups®: Predicts health risk with basic inputs, including diagnoses recorded on medical claims and demographic variables
- Evidence-Based Medicine: Applies clinical rules to claims data to evaluate compliance with established guidelines in patient care
