D2Hawkeye has announced a strategic partnership with DxCG, a Boston-based developer of risk-assessment solutions. The relationship allows D2Hawkeye to incorporate DxCG's diagnosis and pharmacy classifications and predictive models into their flagship product, D2HawkeyeExplorer.

D2HawkeyeExplorer is a total medical management solution that enables provider groups, employers and third party administrators to manage both medical risks and financial risks for their patients or plan members. D2HawkeyeExplorer combines data from multiple sources, including medical claims data, pharmacy data, and case management data into a comprehensive database. Users can then analyze the data by patient, by employer group, or by plan in order to perform early intervention, audits, vendor evaluations, and more.

DxCG's predictive modeling products use historical diagnostic and pharmacy data to quantify the health status of a patient population and to close the gap between expected healthcare needs and actual healthcare utilization. DxCG's solutions also predict next year's health costs so clients can appropriately budget medical and financial resources.

By distributing the DxCG product as part of D2HawkeyeExplorer, D2Hawkeye's medical predictive modeling tool is augmented by DxCG's financial predictive modeling tool. The combined product enables clients to make more informed decisions with respect to healthcare management and financial management.

"DxCG's financial prediction tools are a perfect fit for our D2HawkeyeExplorer product," said Dr. Chris Kryder, Founder, President and CEO of D2Hawkeye. "I think DxCG has an industry financial modeler which enables our clients to better allocate increasingly scarce resources."

"We are delighted to partner with D2Hawkeye," commented Marilyn Schlein-Kramer, President and CEO of DxCG, Inc. "D2Hawkeye has created a dynamic patient-centric tool that is truly revolutionary in terms of its ability to help manage medical and financial risk. A combined D2Hawkeye / DxCG solution quantifies the D2HawkeyeExplorer output thus providing ever greater opportunities for analysis and control."
