Using the Milliman Care Guidelines
SUNY Downstate UHB uses guidelines drawn from Evidence-Based Medicine. These same
guidelines are used by IPRO, and Managed Care Organizations to make determinations
about medical necessity of acute care stay.
Care Management Department staff access these guidelines during concurrent review on line to help assure that UHB patients receive efficient and effective reimbursed care, using CareWebQI the interactive tool that captures and reports on real-time clinical data.
