THE POLARIS SOLUTION

At Polaris, we recognize that organizations cannot manage what they do not measure. Many behavioral healthcare providers and payors may not be collecting and analyzing enough of the right data to answer basic questions about the cost-effectiveness of care. Polaris's advanced technology and science driven assessment systems are designed to capture the clinical data essential to quality improvement and organizational management . Polaris solutions provide advanced analytics to help you improve and demonstrate to your customers the value of your care. With a focus on prediction, Polaris solutions do more than describe clinical change. Our systems also indicate if treatment is likely to have a positive result. Helping you make better decisions in the present by anticipating the future will be the difference in reducing your costs while improving patient care.

Polaris offers solutions for health care and service providers, government agencies and managed care organizations. All Polaris solutions feature a flexible design, non-invasive implementation, and a positive return on investment.

Health care and service providers use Polaris solutions to build more effective treatment plans, improve clinical level decision making and target interventions to specific client needs and strengths. Administrators use aggregate data reporting to better manage their organization while generating additional revenue.

Government agencies use Polaris solutions to bring a more structured, evidence-supported approach to addressing mental health issues in their client populations. Polaris systems help agency staff determine the most appropriate level of care and mix of services for clients. They also help administrators to: make better policy decisions and ensure consistent implementation; provide clear evidence of their agency's effectiveness; and make the most of limited or shrinking resources.

Managed care organizations incorporate Polaris into behavioral health, population and disease management programs to improve intervention targeting, increase program effectiveness, and address comorbid behavioral health conditions. Polaris offers easily customized solutions for behavioral health intervention, provider profiling and network management. The Polaris IT platform is fully-HIPAA compliant, highly scalable, and interoperates effectively with the corporate IT environment.

All feature state-of-the-art information technology developed and field-tested in collaboration with providers and expert consultants.
