At America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute 2009, Microsoft Corp. will showcase solutions designed for the health plans industry, such as these:

    • Microsoft’s unified communications suite enables health plans to offer chat-based conversations with their members, conducted virtually or with a live agent, allowing consumers to communicate using their own words. Microsoft will demonstrate technology such as its Consumer Engagement Reference Architecture (CERA) that enables users to better connect with consumers to keep them engaged in their own health, and unified communications and Tellme voice-enabled solutions.

  • Accelerate innovation and process improvement with the Microsoft Connected Health Framework

    • Health plan business managers can significantly accelerate innovation by reducing the complexity and cost of analyzing and improving business and care processes. This demonstration features the Microsoft Connected Health Framework, an open, service-oriented architecture that enables health plans to cut costs and business complexities.
