Health plans are ideally positioned to meet consumer, provider, purchaser and broker needs, by providing real-time information in areas such as benefit, fund and health status; treatment cost; and provider quality, however many payers still do not offer this to their constituents.

Health plans that succeed in this market will foster positive relationships, efficiency and superior outcomes across all healthcare constituents. Spirek will discuss how "unlocking" data can change the behavior of consumers and providers.
