A new study from the Association for Health Center Affiliated
Health Plans [AHCAHP], Promoting Disease Prevention in Health
Plans: Information Systems & Technology Assessment,
analyzes the impact of the use of information technology (IT)
systems in delivering preventive care to the Medicaid population.
Some key findings include AHCAHP plans’ use of IT for
utilization management and disease management programs, as well as
for the integration of data from several sources to improve
preventive care. A comparison of how AHCAHP plans and the Alliance
of Community Health Plans [ACHP] plans use IT found many
similiarities in how IT can bolster preventive care.
