Advanced Health Management Systems

Advanced Health Management Systems (AHMS) was a pioneering healthcare services and technology company focused on the development and implementation of disease management programs. The company utilized sophisticated data analytics to integrate pharmacy and medical claims data, enabling the identification and management of patients with chronic conditions to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. AHMS was a leader in the early 1990s for its innovative approach to population health management, particularly in areas like diabetes and respiratory care. The company was acquired by Medco Health Solutions in 1993, where its clinical protocols and data systems were integrated into Medco's pharmacy benefit management (PBM) platform. Its legacy operations eventually became part of Express Scripts and the Cigna Group following subsequent industry consolidations.
