Healthcare

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, health care expenditures in the United States topped $1.6 trillion in 2002, an increase of over 9% from the previous year. Industry analysts expect total U.S. health care expenditures to surpass $2.6 trillion by 2010. These soaring costs are being shared by providers, payers, and patients alike.

Healthcare organizations are desperately seeking counter-measures to offset escalating costs while enhancing patient care, and are increasingly turning to their own information delivery initiatives to streamline operations, achieve cost controls, and increase profitability. Healthcare providers and payers use JReport to gain valuable insight into their business, to identify successful treatment plans and optimize care delivery.

Healthcare Providers
With JReport, healthcare providers have an effective reporting tool that enables them to better understand and monitor critical business systems such as patient records, prescription writing, billing, and claims submission. JReport's robust security features also help hospitals and physician practices meet regulatory compliance (for example, HIPAA requirements in the United States), ensuring patient confidentiality. By tracking and analyzing practice data, providers get a detailed view of their business that enables them to improve practice management and reduce the cost of acquiring patients and delivering patient care.

Payers
Healthcare payers benefit from JReport's ability to provide and distribute actionable information via the Web. Payer offices can access individual provider records and patient claims information on demand, allowing them to quickly verify claims for fast provider reimbursement, while also reducing costly over-payments. In addition, the ability to provide reports via the Web and deliver reports in any format via email allows providers to effectively communicate with their audience of physicians, patients, and benefits managers. For healthcare payers, effective communication with their audience translates to improved customer satisfaction and retention.

Patients
Web-based access to information for patients allows claim status to be viewed on demand, providing patients with the ability to track claim payments and empowering them to be an active participant in their own care.
