Medical Episode Grouper

The Medical Episode Grouper (MEG) enables government agencies to analyze patient treatments, evaluate quality of care, and manage associated costs. It does so by grouping inpatient, outpatient, and pharmaceutical claims into clinically homogeneous units of analysis called episodes that describe a patient's complete course of care for a single illness or condition. The result is a sophisticated methodology that is used for a wide range of applications such as provider profiling, disease management, quality improvement, and cost and use analysis. Agencies can incorporate MEG into their existing information system, or it can serve as an integrated component of Advantage Suite.

Advantage Suite

Integrates information from diverse sources and systems, organizes it to support decision making, and enables easy access to information in a flexible, customized application. Its powerful applications are linked to an integrated warehouse of medical and prescription claims, encounters, eligibility, lab results, authorizations, health risks assessments, and performance measures.
