• What information do health plan members want from your provider directory?
• Are they seeking information on the quality of providers?
• Do they have the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system?

Recent findings indicate they want it all. We commissioned Forrester Research to survey 5,000 consumers. Eight out of ten felt that the quality of hospital care varies greatly and want health plans or employers to provide more information about hospitals. Further, a typical member wants plan-specific transactions like the ability to look up providers, according to an earlier Forrester Report.

Good news: The most comprehensive, comparative data on health care providers, plans and hospitals is now available through the partnering of ProAct Technologies and HealthShare Technology.

ProAct Health Pages offers a personalized, Web-based database of providers and health plans specific to a company's benefits. It contains virtually every physician, hospital or other medical facility. HealthShare adds procedure-specific hospital comparisons through its personalized Web-based tool, Select Quality Care™.
