Plan Management Navigator

By Marco Georeno

Ph:  215-628-2289      

Please find attached the April 2009 edition of Plan Management Navigator. In it we provide an update on the timing of the Blue Cross Blue Shield universe and the Independent / Provider-Sponsored editions of the Sherlock Expense Evaluation Report (SEER). In addition, we expect to circulate the benchmarking surveys for the Medicaid and Medicare universes on or about June 1st, for completion by July 20^th, 2009.

Benchmarking Studies

If you are interested in participating in our benchmarking studies please contact us as soon as possible. Additional information about SEER is available at www.sherlockco.com/seer.shtml or by contacting Doug Sherlock (sherlock@sherlockco.com).

Best Practices for the Healthcare Enterprise

We also endeavor to provide an enterprise view of best practice. Best practice is typically considered to be the most efficient way of achieving a desired outcome. We believe that the best way of determining the best practice in its most practical application is to start with an overall objective and weigh all particular practices in light of how they contribute to that overall objective.

In that vein, over the next several months, Sherlock Company will be offering web conferences focused on best practices. The first conference will address activities within Customer Services, as well as activities or effects in other functional areas. This web conference will be held on Wednesday May 20th at 2:30 PM, Eastern Time. The costs will be $225. Participation is free of charge to health plans participating in our 2009 benchmarking studies. If you are interested in participating, please email Erin Sawchuk (erinsawchuk@sherlockco.com) or call at 215-628-2289.

Assessment

This edition of Navigator also discusses the latest private health plan Dashboard results for the trailing three months ended January 31, 2009.
