"We are positioning ourselves for more capitated reimbursement from HMOs which have already
penetrated about 25% of the market. Managing cost and ensuring quality of care under capitation
necessitates the use of advanced medical management analytics, such as The Delta Group's
Episode of Care Analysis, which enables us to link medical costs across all care settings.”
