HMS Holdings Corp., today announced it has acquired VitreosHealth, a Plano, TX-based Insights-as-a-Service delivery model for advanced population health analytics. The acquisition will provide HMS with predictive and prescriptive health insights for population risk models.

AI-Driven Predictive Models are Necessary for Effective Population Health

Founded in 2009, VitreosHealth offers advanced analytics solutions in Total Population Health Management for Healthcare Payors, Providers, MSSP ACO and Self-Insured Plans. Vitreos leverages big data and predictive and prescriptive health insights for population risk models that provide a complete view into the healthcare continuum.

VitreosHealth’s artificial intelligence-driven platform leverages data from a broad set of sources, including electronic health records, claims, health risk assessments, and socioeconomic data. It then provides insights that allow clinicians and health plan administrators alike to identify and address care gaps within their member or patient populations.

Also, VitreosHealth’s advanced analytic predictions into the care management workflow offers critical insights that help health plans and managed care organizations optimize their Star and other quality ratings, recognize undercoding/overcoding patterns and analyze out-of-network utilization.

HMS Integration of VitreosHealth

HMS is currently using VitreosHealth’s technology as the predictive analytics engine for HMS’ Elli, a risk intelligence solution that is part of the company’s integrated Population Health Management (PHM) portfolio.
