BOWIE, Md., Sept. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inovalon (NASDAQ:INOV), a leading technology company providing advanced, cloud-based analytics and data-driven intervention platforms to the healthcare industry, today announced a multi-year agreement with MDLIVE, a leading telehealth platform provider, to provide on-demand, real-time patient insights and analytics. The new capability will enable MDLIVE and its clients (health systems, ACOs, health plans and employers) to identify and close gaps in care as part of telehealth patient consultations as well as facilitate quality score and risk adjustment accuracy improvement across a wide variety of health plan, health system and employer populations.

As part of the engagement, organizations utilizing the MDLIVE platform or telehealth services will be able to have each patient encounter informed by Inovalon’s advanced patient insights and analytics. By leveraging Inovalon’s unparalleled datasets, connectivity, and analytics capabilities, both inbound and outbound telehealth encounters will be dramatically enhanced by clinical and risk analyses computed and provided in real-time.

The Inovalon on-demand, real-time analytics platform provides detailed analyses regarding HEDIS®, ACO, Medicare Advantage, state-specific managed Medicaid, commercial, and other clinical quality measures. It also enables a panoptical view of prior admissions, outpatient encounters, laboratory, and imaging information, thus positively impacting health plans and other outcomes-based arrangements.

With this relationship, MDLIVE will enable clinicians to gain high-value, patient-specific insights often unavailable in telemedicine, giving them greater understanding of their patients and allowing for more personal, focused, and efficient clinical encounters. Patients benefit from a more meaningful and effective telemedicine experience.

“The health plan, employer, or health system benefits from superior patient satisfaction, the achievement of quality outcomes-specific score improvements, risk score accuracy, utilization management, and other value-based benefits,” said Sanjay Patil, M.D., general manager of health systems at MDLIVE. “With the benefit of Inovalon’s analytics, we deliver greater value and impact for our patients and the clients that we serve than is possible with virtual urgent care alone. This allows our clients to implement both reactive and proactive gap closure.”

“As more employers, health plans, and other organizations find themselves under pressures from value-based and shared-risk arrangements, it’s clear that telehealth will play an increasingly important role in the transformation of healthcare,” said Keith Dunleavy, M.D., chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Inovalon. “We are pleased to be working with such an innovative leader in this burgeoning market supporting the promise of telehealth.”
