Swiss Re and Milliman have teamed up to help life insurers make more use of life insurance applicants' prescription records.
The companies will be adding the Milliman Intelliscript Irix risk-scoring algorithm to Swiss Re's Magnum Automated Underwriting Solution.
The life insurers that use the Swiss Re Magnum system will be able to use the Irix tool to estimate mortality risk.
Swiss Re has also announced an EHR data partnership with Diameter Health.
Swiss Re will use Diameter Health technology to organize and summarize EHR information, then feed the EHR information into the Magnum underwriting systems and other Swiss Re underwriting systems.
MedVirginia Inc. is working with 1upHealth Inc. to create a new type of EHR data pipe.
