As managers of the largest health plans in the nation, CMS has an opportunity and responsibility to help its
beneficiaries make good medical decisions. By implementing book and Web-based programs in self-care, disease
management, and information therapy, the CMS can better serve people while reducing the expenses associated
with unnecessary care.
Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries who use Healthwise decision support tools can:
- Prevent health problems through good self-care and self-management.
- Avoid unnecessary care with evidence-based decision making.
Information Therapy
Information is just as important to a person's health as lab tests and medications, surgeries, and MRIs.
To learn more, visit the Center for Information Therapy's site at www.informationtherapy.org
or call us at 1.800.706.9646.
Medical Management and Wellness
The consumer is the greatest untapped resource in health care. Provide beneficiaries with the right decision
support tools at the right time so they can self-triage and avoid unneeded treatments.

Disease Management
Healthwise® disease management information zeros in on a person's age and specific moment in care to help nurses
better coach beneficiaries. Reduce fulfillment costs with printer-friendly features of our comprehensive,
in-depth online tools. Low-cost information therapy applications can change the basic economics of managed
care and engage people in less-intensive stages of the care process.
Quality Improvement
The informed patient plays a huge role in patient safety. Help beneficiaries improve quality and avoid
medical errors by providing them evidence-based, action-oriented information from Healthwise.
E-Health
Healthwise reduces administrative costs of Medicaid and Medicare programs by helping to shift transactions from calls to the Web.
