Cronin Appointment in MyHealthGuide

Monday, February 23, 2009 | My HealthGuide Newsletter

 

WellNet Healthcare appointed Dan Cronin, a longtime sales and marketing executive and acclaimed author of technical books is the new senior vice president of sales for WellNet Healthcare and Healthcare Interactive (HCI), two companies that recently launched the game-changing software and technology platform, Point to Point Healthcare.

In joining Bethesda, Md.-based WellNet and Glenwood, Md.-based HCI, Dan Cronin will direct the team responsible for delivering Health-Care Performance Management software to large employer groups that provide and pay for employee health benefits.

Cronin’s more than 20 years of executive sales-management experience for industry-leading Fortune 500 companies such as EMC, Oracle and Sybase has resulted in major, multi-year contracts for enterprise products and services. In addition, he has written the best-selling technical books, “Mastering Oracle” and “Microcomputer Data Security.”

“Dan’s background and success make him the perfect fit as we roll out our Health-Care Performance Management software nationwide,” says Keith Lemer, WellNet’s president. “He will undoubtedly be a major force in driving our companies to the next level.”

A comprehensive and unique solution, the Active Reporting System (ARS) and Point to Point platform empowers employers for the first time, providing them with accurate, actionable, real-time information to measure and manage their health plans as they would any other aspect of their business. The technology provides visibility and insight into customers’ plan risks, combined with patient-centric services to improve outcomes and lower medical-benefit costs for both employers and their employees.

“ARS and Point to Point will revolutionize the health-care sector, and I’m enthusiastic about playing a key role in marketing this technology to the business community and saving employers hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars on their health-care costs while getting their workers healthier,” Cronin says.

WellNet Healthcare is the majority investor in HCI, which developed ARS and Point to Point. The two companies launched a beta version of their Health-Care Performance Management software last year, offering it to WellNet’s existing client base. ARS and Point to Point are now available to the entire business community.

" Point to Point's Active Reporting system is highly informative on a real-time basis and has helped me save $238,000."

"For the first time, we’re catching problems before they become catastrophic. WellNet’s the type of partner that’s proving that they’re able to drive down medical costs."

"We were confident that we would save money with WellNet and we liked their service model, what we did not know was how much they were willing to dig in and drive the process for us."
Vice President of Human Resources
Hospital facility
" We have saved $850,000 by using WellNet’s Point to Point technology. Medical expenses are lower, but the level of coverage is not and members are not paying more. WellNet provides valuable information that is understandable and they provide effective turn-key strategies to lower claims over the long term."

"You finally have unlocked the black box. I can only imagine that this platform is going to disrupt many outsiders’ revenue streams. I told my VP of HR this past year that I wanted something that gave me control of my healthcare expenses, not the same 18% increase that then gets knocked down to 12%. You guys have nailed it. I’ve never seen anything like Point to Point before."

" Every single service representative we work with at WellNet is outstanding! Their advisors' responsiveness, knowledge and caring attitude are the best we have seen in the business – and we have seen a lot!"

"It makes complete sense to correlate the Rx usage with the medical plan. With WellNet we can now monitor this and make better proactive decisions based on what the data tells us."

"Having data analyzed and interpreted will help in planning for the next 3 to 5 years out, which every CEO needs to do. Any growing company needs to be thinking about all of their healthcare benefits; having this kind of data allows us to manage our 3rd biggest expense as we approach all of our other business units."

"What haven’t you included in here? If I understand correctly, there’s no piece of data or healthcare service that’s not included here. This is brilliant."

"I have got to tell you that you really ’WOWED’ all of us, not only with the extent, usefulness and volume of data but also with Point to Point’s ability to present and interpret. We view your technology as an extremely useful tool."
