PORTLAND, Ore. – November 7, 2005 – Marilyn Horaszewski, senior project manager in the Information Services Division of Providence Health Plans, will be the featured speaker at the Achieving Maximum Process and Cost Efficiency in Contract Management session during the 2005 America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Business Forum, to be held November 7-9 at the Westin New York at Times Square.

WHO:
Providence Health Plans
- Marilyn Horaszewski, senior project manager, Information Systems Division
WHAT:
Health plans are plagued by paper-based processes that impact the ability to meet regulatory requirements and competitive pressures. Increasingly, health plans are streamlining processes by deploying a contract management solution designed to address the specific needs of health plan provider contracting.
Marilyn Horaszewski will outline the specific challenges that motivated Providence to investigate a provider contracting solution in 2004. Her presentation will include the return on investment analysis used to gain executive buy-in, and the use of an organization-wide workflow study to incorporate existing best practices and individual use preferences into the final implementation. It will also focus on the importance of engaging project management and internal champions to keep the implementation process on track.
