About the Topic
NASCO was formed in 1987 by several BlueCross® and BlueShield® Plans and BlueCross BlueShield Association to deliver a national IT capability to provide consistency in benefit payment and claims administration for large employers.
NASCO initially outsourced its business and IT needs to EDS and NASCO’s purpose was to function as the contract manager, on behalf of the owners, to ensure delivery of IT services by EDS to its owners.
NASCO has gone through several business cycles as it continuously seeks ways to grow its business and value to its owners and other Blue Plans.
How has NASCO been able to deliver IT solutions to meet the competing needs of its owners and customers while ensuring compliance with numerous regulations?
How have they managed the numerous IT suppliers to achieve its objectives? How have they been able to achieve high customer satisfaction and 94% of its associates understanding how they align with NASCO’s business strategy? How is NASCO taking advantage of healthcare reform to further ensure its long term success? Come join us to learn tools used by Lauret Howard and her team to develop and execute a strategic plan aligning Business and Technology.
