Adaptis Shows Dedication to Supporting Managed Care Issues with Sponsorship of Five Upcoming Events

October 11, 2006

Seattle, WA – Adaptis, a leading comprehensive source for Business Process Integration solutions for health payers, today announced that it is sponsoring a presentation by strategic partner Derek Jansen, PhD, MHP, CCP and founder of Practice Management Alternatives, LLC, at the Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA) Annual Conference. The three day event, focused on “Promoting Public-Private Partnerships”, will take place October 15-18 at the Rio All Suites Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. On behalf of Adaptis, Dr. Jansen will discuss “A Culture of Compliance” on Monday, October 16th at 8:45 a.m. The conference, geared to senior health plan executives, policy-makers, physician leaders, and Federal and State representatives, will provide a forum for learning about the latest happenings in the Medicaid Managed Care industry. In addition to the MHPA event, Adaptis has reached out to sponsor or exhibit at five additional managed care, health plan-focused events this fall.

According to Adaptis strategic partner Dr. Jansen, a compliance expert and noted lecturer and author, “The face of corporate compliance needs to rapidly change to create what the Office of the Inspector General calls ‘a culture of compliance’. One key to health plans achieving a culture of compliance is to ensure provider compliance, which requires highly effective training and communication.” Jansen’s presentation will provide attendees with strategic tips for ensuring joint compliance between health plans and providers. Jansen says this is critical and will explain how, “Developing joint compliance activities creates a win-win; when a provider is better able to comply it not only helps the business relationship, but has the added benefit of also helping the health plan comply.”
