Payers use information technology (IT) strategies to add value to healthcare for employers, providers and consumers. IT enables payers to:
- Process and pay claims more efficiently
- Promote evidence-based care
- Empower consumers through real-time access to claims, eligibility, benefits and financial information, and decision-making tools
- Increase transparency in cost and quality through online comparison tools
IT is one of a payer's top budget items. Despite its central role, IT is one of the least understood and most mismanaged areas of business. In many organizations, IT is not treated as a business-critical function, but as a poorly managed afterthought. Often, IT lacks a global vision or strategy and is run like a cost center rather than as a revenue enhancer. The inability to link IT to strategic business value can lead to disastrous results. An effective IT operation, characterized by agility, productivity and quality, can deliver critical business process efficiencies, ultimately enhancing bottom-line business performance.
