Scott Lee oversees the Experian Health Reference Program. Scott graduated with a BA in Business Management from The University of Texas at San Antonio, and has been with the organization for 12 years, beginning with MPV, which was acquired by Experian in 2011. Scott lives in San Antonio with his wife and two children and says his second home is the San Antonio Zoo based on how much time he and his family spend there. Scott is a catalyst for fostering the connection between Experian Health’s current and potential clients to allow the former to share their positive experience and ROI using our solutions. Our clients also benefit from being a reference by learning about the workflow and best practices of similar organizations. Because of the importance of protecting our clients’ privacy, Scott schedules calls on behalf of our clients and ensures that the experience is mutually beneficial and minimally disruptive for all parties involved. “We’re very appreciative of our reference clients, and it’s a privilege for our potential clients to hear their experiences firsthand.” he said.

Our congratulations and admiration go out to all Experian Health clients who were recently recognized by Hospitals and Health Networks (H&HN) magazine with the prestigious 2016 “Most Wired” distinction: http://www.hhnmag.com/articles/7393-2016-most-wired-themes. Following are two (of the MANY) Experian Health clients who were honored. Altru Health System has been recognized in the Advanced Category in this year’s HealthCare’s Most Wired™ survey. The survey, released on July 6 by the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum, is a leading industry barometer measuring information technology (IT) use and adoption among hospitals nationwide. It examined how organizations are leveraging IT to improve performance for value-based healthcare in the areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management, quality and safety, and clinical integration. St. Clair Hospital’s Patient Estimates tool, the only one of its kind in the greater Pittsburgh region, has garnered the Mt. Lebanon-based medical center Hospitals & Health Networks (H&HN) magazine’s prestigious Innovator Award for its co-development of the cost transparency software. Patient Estimates, which was made available to the public earlier this year at www.stclair.org, gives patients the ability to learn, in advance, what their estimated out-of-pocket costs will be for services at St. Clair or the Hospital’s Outpatient centers. Patient Estimates is highly accurate and based on information provided by each patient’s health benefit plan. Please contact us to add your organization’s Innovative Achievements to our future Shout Outs!
