Using electronic health records to facilitate superior risk assessment
Market growth and customer expectations continue to drive the need for faster decision-making throughout the insurance industry. Insurers can begin to address this need by replacing high-cost data sources such as blood and urine samples and attending physician statements (APS) with newer, lower-cost sources such as electronic health records (EHRs).
An EHR is a real-time, patient-centered record available quickly and securely to authorized users and designed to improve information sharing between medical providers. Simply put, an electronic health record is a digital version of a patient’s paper records. EHRs are positioned to create widespread value across the insurance industry by helping to facilitate superior risk assessment.
A holistic view of electronic health records
A modern solution for a modern challenge
Electronic health records have the richest electronic medical data and are available in real time, making them a sound replacement for traditional, hard-to-access data sources.
Creating widespread value through superior risk assessment
With electronic health records, carriers get a comprehensive medical risk profile they can leverage to evaluate an applicant’s health and issue an insurance policy while customers experience a better buying journey.
Delivering intelligent, digital solutions
Munich Re Life US and Clareto are leveraging our combined capabilities to develop cutting-edge risk models, scores and tools that will enable optimum use of electronic health records at scale.
The future of risk assessment
