NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NavigatorMD, Inc. announced today it is rebranding its company name to Navmd™ and launching new population health products. The new Navmd company brand will feature two additional product offerings: Healthie™ and Advocate. The company has also rebranded their flagship analytics product, Design180®, to Navmd Analytics. The name change represents a broader strategic vision for the company expanding its product portfolio to enable a comprehensive set of population health management capabilities.
“It’s an enlightened approach to population health management,” said Brian Wilson, Executive Vice President of Business Development. “Our customers and partners will be able to analyze, predict, and influence population wellness on a whole new level.”
According to the CDC, chronic disease accounts for 86% of our nation’s healthcare costs – roughly the same distribution of cost associated with chronic disease seen by Employers burdened with the growing financial responsibility for their employee’s health and wellness. In addition to traditional methods, many companies are seeking alternatives such as building direct relationships with providers to help employees deal with escalating costs and poor access to healthcare.
“Addressing the challenge of chronic disease is a gateway to effective Population Health Management for Employers, offering tangible near term benefits that control cost plus promote a healthier, more productive workforce,” adds Wilson. “In addition to providing accurate and timely analytics, we are also liberating data to help our customers drive consumer engagement with their employees and improve information at the point of care to facilitate better outcomes.”
Healthie is a predictive analytics product using information obtained in self-reported Health Risk Assessments along with an individual’s biometric measurements captured during an annual screening. The product is designed to drive employee engagement and promote participation in employer sponsored wellness programs, especially those combating chronic disease.
Advocate is a care coordination product, supplying near perfect information at or near the point of care to help clinicians deliver better outcomes, especially when treating chronic disease. Advocate is answering the call of new era tools required to drive greater provider engagement in a reformed, value-based landscape.
Navmd. Like having a microscope, compass and crystal ball, all rolled into one.
