The enhanced mammography prefetching tools further reduce the time required before studies can be read. The advanced features include:


  • Retrieval of prior studies from multiple PACS systems

  • Ensuring consistence between current and prior patient studies

  • Delivery of the day’s prior studies to the workstation during non-peak hours

  • Caching exams on the workstation to minimizing fetching activities during reading

CLEVELAND (PRWEB)

FormFire, LLC announces the launch of their improved ACA Quote Engine which is more accurate, timely and widely available. Through a partnership with the industry-leading Carrier data provider, Vericred, FormFire is able to provide information from a single, reliable source.

The FormFire ACA Quote Engine allows Brokers to gather plan and pricing information for small group, fully-insured plans. FormFire’s standard proposal is included with the engine, which provides a breakdown of plan and pricing data, as well as calculations for age-banded and composite rates.

Vericred gives FormFire access to health insurance and employee benefit data through a universal API. Through this partnership, FormFire can quickly and efficiently expand the states in which Carriers plans and pricing are available, all while reducing the possibility for any error during data input.

“Relaunching our ACA Quote Engine has given us a number of new opportunities,” said Andrew Laytin, Chief Technology Officer at FormFire. “Most importantly, we improved the accuracy of the rates coming out of our system, which our Broker customers have been requesting.”

Automating the upload of plan details and rates will increase the speed to market and allow Brokers to quote more quickly as new rates become available.

FormFire is constantly working to make Brokers’ jobs more efficient so they can spend more time growing their client relationships. With these new updates to the ACA Quote Engine, they have made it easier for Brokers to generate accurate quotes for multiple Carriers all at once.

These new updates will be available on September 18.

John O’Brien


CRANBURY, N.J. (PRWEB)

The Association for Value-Based Cancer Care (AVBCC) is delighted to announce that John O’Brien, PharmD, MPH, former Senior Advisor to the Secretary, US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), will present a Summit Keynote speech and Q&A at the 2019 AVBCC Summit on Thursday, October 17, in New York City.

The AVBCC Summit is the premier gathering of practitioners, pharmacists, payers, policymakers, and other stakeholders from across the cancer care spectrum. The multiday professional conference is held annually and will return this year to the historic New York Athletic Club in Manhattan, October 16-18.

Dr. O’Brien was the Senior Advisor to Secretary Alex Azar for Drug Pricing Reform, where he led policy development on multiple administration priorities, including drafting and executing President Trump’s drug pricing blueprint. He also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Policy, and a key advisor to the Secretary for Health Policy Research, Development, and Analysis related to Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance.

Previously, Dr. O’Brien had served as Advisor to the Secretary for health reform and drug pricing, as well as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Policy within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.

For the past 9 years, the AVBCC Summit has brought together nationally recognized experts, faculty speakers, panelists, key opinion leaders, C-suite executives, and managers whose goals are to improve patient care and maximize patient access and outcomes through care coordination.

The AVBCC Summit will also feature a keynote presentation by Scott Gottlieb, MD, Former FDA Commissioner. With the addition of Dr. O’Brien to the program, Zweigenhaft stated, “we have locked down 2 of the key architects of the current landscape in cancer care.”

Price Image becomes the new metric for retailers to measure pricing effectiveness

Leave a comment


“Engage3 flips the price optimization paradigm on its head — optimizing price image, not prices, to achieve desired outcomes,” – Mark Thomason, Research Director for Digital Business Models and Monetization at IDC


DAVIS, Calif. (PRWEB)

Engage3, which helps retailers and manufacturers manage their pricing strategy through competitive data, data science, and Artificial Intelligence-powered software solutions, today announced Price Image as the new metric for retailers and manufacturers to measure and manage the effectiveness of their pricing.

Price Image is a measurement of the value promise a retailer makes to its customers. It is how customers perceive a retailer’s pricing, and Price Image Management is how a retailer chooses to position themselves with customers, as related to the price consumers expect to pay.

Many retailers don’t know what their Price Image in the market is. With deep discounters aggressively expanding market share, retailers battling to retain their customers with promotions, and increasing price transparency, the retail marketplace is in the midst of a price war. Trying to follow competitors’ pricing is both ineffective and inefficient. Customers don’t compare prices on all of a store’s items, and different items have different importance to different people at different times. Defining what Price Image a retailer wants to establish in the market, understanding how to achieve that Price Image with customers, and then aligning it with a retailer’s financial objectives, are critical.

IDC recently positioned Engage3 as a leader in its MarketScape Vendor Analysis Report for changing the game and leading the next frontier in strategic pricing solutions.

“Engage3 flips the price optimization paradigm on its head — optimizing price image, not prices, to achieve desired outcomes,” said Mark Thomason, Research Director for Digital Business Models and Monetization at IDC. “With deep pricing–focused artificial intelligence and machine learning assets, Engage3 is focused on using science to maximize business outcomes constrained by shopper perception of pricing through predictive modeling of Price Image,” he added.

“It’s been a challenge for retailers to craft a holistic strategy for pricing. Using Price Image as the new metric instead of relying on Price Index will help retailers lead with disruptive pricing in their markets,” said Ken Ouimet, Engage3 Founder and CEO. “Calculating your Price Image is the first step in making the right price investments to make your customers and your investors happy,” he added.

A copy of the IDC white paper on Price Image Management is available by request at https://www.engage3.com/idc-market-spotlight/.

About Engage3

Engage3 was founded by the creators of KhiMetrics (acquired by SAP), who are credited with inventing the retail price optimization space. Engage3’s leadership team is composed of former KhiMetrics, SAP, Revionics, dunnhumby, KSS Retail, and IBM/DemandTec executives.

Engage3’s Price Image Management Suite™ helps retailers understand and manage their Price Image and align it with their sales and profitability objectives using predictive modeling. The suite includes Competitive Intelligence Management (CIM) – an AI-assisted, attribute-based, and data science-driven solution that provides accurate, granular competitive data (30 billion product pricing records collected annually in the U.S. and Canada) and like-item-linking visibility. CIM helps retailers reverse-engineer their competitors’ pricing and assortment strategies across channels, markets, and items. Also included in the suite is Price Image Management (PIM) – a next generation pricing solution that defines the impact of strategic pricing alternatives and unlocks pricing recommendations based on a retailer’s objectives for Price Image, sales, and profitability.
