In addition to, providers can proactively recognize care gaps to keep sufferers healthy, as well as recognize emerging health concerns.


On the patient side, BCBSRI members will be motivated to address required screenings or preventative care, like colonoscopies or flu shots. New electronic devices will enable providers to track the growth of patients with chronic conditions, send reminders or alerts to members for tests or follow up appointments, and make sure the sufferers are filling prescriptions.


The Blue Insights health analytics platform will encourage:




  • Access to critical health data, permitting members and their physicians to make informed choices about specialty physicians, services and treatments.

  • Timely sufferer care interventions through health monitoring networks.

  • Alignment of industry standard analytics and proactive patient intervention to make better the delivery of care and sufferer health.

“Blue Insights is a great instance of our commitment to actively supporting our contributor partners in their quest for continual improved care,” claimed Mark Waggoner, senior vice president for care integration and management at BCBSRI.


The Blue Insights health analytics platform was established in partnership with MedeAnalytics. The next phase of the establishment will offer new self-service reporting capabilities for contributors.
