(CRGs). It is a categorical, clinical model, that uses medical and pharmacy claims and other data to assign a member to a single, mutually exclusive, risk category, which prevents double counting of members.&nbsp; This algorithm, based on a second-generation risk stratification methodology, is used to analyze a health plan's entire member population, from a disease and severity perspective.&nbsp; This open logic of CRGs was clinically developed and is easily understood. <img border="0" src="images/employer.jpg" align="right" width="248" height="246"> <ul type="square"> <li> <p>CRGs recognize 269 separate primary chronic diseases, with 1,073 unique categories at the lowest tier of aggregation, and 37 at the highest</p> </li> <li> <p>Case mix and Severity adjustment at every level, enables measurement and monitoring of disease burden and its progression</p> </li> <li> <p>CRGs determine the health status of a population from a clinical and cost perspective</p> </li> </ul> <p>RPNavigator also includes the use of All Patient Refined DRGs"! (APR-DRGs) to severity adjust hospital admissions by length of stay and component costs, providing comparisons to benchmarks using internal and/or state and national norms. This technique also benchmarks ancillary charge components of claims to uncover inefficiencies during hospital stays.</p> <p>RPNavigator is a solution that is designed and customized to meet our clients' specific management requirements. It is a solution that provides a more comprehensive approach to risk management.&nbsp; It is supported by our team of experienced health plan executives, senior medical directors, experienced care management operations directors, and clinical data analysis subject matter experts, bolstered by our in-house technology experts.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><b><a href="mailto:contact@careadvantage.com">Request a white paper on CRG'S and APR-CRG'S</a></b></p> &nbsp;</td></tr> </table><br></td> </tr> </table> <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr><td class=small><img border=0 src="images/clear.gif" height=4 width=1><br><font size=1 color=#FFFFFF>CareAdvantage, Inc. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;485A Suite 200 Rt. 1 South,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Iselin, NJ 08830 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;732.362.5000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Fax) 732.362.5005</font></td></tr> </table><br> </div> <!--LAYER 5: ABOUT US DROP DOWN MENU --> <<DIV ID="Layer5" STYLE="Position : Absolute ; Left : 336px ; Top : 69px ; Width : 112px ; Height : 69px ; Visibility : Hidden ; Z-Index : 2" onMouseOut="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','hide','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','hide','Layer8','','hide');" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','show','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','hide','Layer8','','hide');"> <A HREF="history.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navhisto.gif" WIDTH="112" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="mngteam.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navmngt.gif" WIDTH="112" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="pressrel.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navpress2.gif" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="investor.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navinves.gif" WIDTH="112" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A> <a href="testimonials.htm"><img border=0 src="images/navtest.gif" align=top width="112" height="18" BORDER="0"></a> </div> <!--LAYER 6: SOLUTIONS DROP DOWN MENU--> <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; left:423px; top:69px; width:135px; height:69px; z-index:3; visibility: hidden"> <a href="solution/employer/"><img border=0 src="images/navemply.gif" align=top width="135" height="17"></a><br> <a href="solution/healplan/"><img border=0 src="images/navhplan.gif" align=top width="135" height="17"></a><br> <a href="solution/hospital/"><img border=0 src="images/navhospi.gif" align=top width="135" height="17"></a><br> <a href="solution/rpnav/"><img border=0 src="images/navrpnpl.gif" align=top width="135" height="18"></a> </div> <!--LAYER 7: TOOLS DROP DOWN MENU--> <div id="Layer7" style="position:absolute; left:636px; top:69px; width:143px; height:86px; z-index:4; visibility: hidden" onMouseOut="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','hide','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','hide','Layer8','','hide');" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','hide','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','show','Layer8','','hide');"> <a href="tools/employer/"><img border=0 src="images/navrpnem.gif" align=top width="143" height="17"></a><br> <a href="tools/healplan/"><img border=0 src="images/navrpnhp.gif" align=top width="143" height="17"></a><br> <a href="tools/casemang/"><img border=0 src="images/navcasem.gif" align=top width="143" height="17"></a><br> <a href="tools/training/"><img border=0 src="images/navtrain.gif" align=top width="143" height="18"></a> </div> <!--LAYER 8: CONTACT US DROP DOWN MENU--> <DIV ID="Layer8" STYLE="Position : Absolute ; Left : 709px ; Top : 69px ; Width : 94px ; Height : 35px ; Visibility : Hidden ; Z-Index : 5" onMouseOut="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','hide','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','hide','Layer8','','hide');" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Layer5','','hide','Layer6','','hide','Layer7','','hide','Layer8','','show');"> <A HREF="contact.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navcinfo.gif" WIDTH="94" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="careers.htm"><IMG SRC="images/careers.gif" WIDTH="94" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="mailto:demo@careadvantage.com"><IMG SRC="images/navreq.gif" WIDTH="94" HEIGHT="17" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A><BR> <A HREF="directon.htm"><IMG SRC="images/navdirec.gif" WIDTH="94" HEIGHT="18" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"></A> </DIV> </body> </html>
