D2Hawkeye CEO to speak at SIIA National Educational Conference and Expo on September 29, 2004.

WELLESLEY, Mass. -- D2Hawkeye Founder and CEO Chris Kryder to discuss the power of Data Mining and Predictive Modeling in controlling health care costs while improving the quality of health care

In these days of double digit annual increases in health care costs, a rapidly growing three year old start-up thinks it has a powerful weapon to attack rising health care costs. That will be the subject of a presentation that Dr. Chris Kryder, fFounder and CEO of D2Hawkeye will be making at the annual Educational Conference and Expo of SIIA (Self-Insurance Institute of America) on September 29th in Miami Beach.

'We know that 1% of employees drive 32% of health care costs: 2 1/2% drive 62 1/2%. The key to achieving true cost savings is to identify the emerging risks within a population, intervene and improve care before their illness burden and costs escalate. We accomplish this through data mining and predictive modeling.' is the provocative opening statement of Dr. Kryder's presentation.

This is the 24th SIIA Educational Conference and Expo. The SIIA, a national organization, was founded in 1981 to protect and promote self-insurance risk financing alternatives for both group health plans and workers' compensation programs.
