What is the administrative burden for providers using the Care Guidelines^®? Specifically, how do they work in the community?

To provide a decision support tool for busy clinicians, functionality is an essential attribute. The Care Guidelines^® recommendations are designed to be concise, actionable and measurable. The supporting evidence is easily accessible but not obtrusive. The Care Guidelines^® content is distributed in a variety of software options, including via the web, handheld and interactive technologies to support on-site and remote care management.

While the Care Guidelines^® communicate the best clinical practices in a form easily used by busy healthcare professionals, the content is advanced. Appropriate training and sound clinical judgment are required if they are to be used properly. Milliman Care Guidelines offers a wide variety of educational and training opportunities intended to help Care Guidelines^® users understand Care Guidelines^®.

The Care Guidelines^® themselves provide background information and a description of their appropriate use. In addition, training seminars are held throughout the United States, focusing on the interpretation and implementation of each product. Milliman Care Guidelines trainers also conduct hundreds of client-specific training sessions for those who have licensed the Care Guidelines^®, either on-site or via the web.

Our Client Forum, to which we invite our clients and other interested healthcare professionals, is held regularly. Industry experts lead interactive sessions regarding the use of the Care Guidelines^® to improve patient care and to more appropriately use medical resources.
