Data Acquisition
The fundamental driver behind Network360® is the quality of the data used in comparing networks. Generally speaking, the greater the volume of the data, the more heterogeneous it is, and the more difficult it is to analyze and interpret. In the case of managed care provider networks, this is especially true.

Strenuus is the largest collector of managed care data in the country. We have developed a rigorous process for provider matching between disparate data sources. Our proprietary data gathering and parsing methods clean and standardize records, turning them into usable information rather than simply volumes of un-interpretable data. This ensures the data is the most accurate and up-to-date in the industry.

Matching Methodology
The effectiveness of the analysis hinges completely on the accuracy of the matching. Strenuus' proprietary algorithms have been field-tested in hundreds of projects processing hundreds of millions of records. Our methods are proven.

Network360® can match disparate sources with confidence, handling data differences that can include misspelled names, inaccurate identifiers and differences in addresses. Our approach does not rely on any single comparison but instead uses all information available in determining matches. The end result is highly accurate data that allows analysis at any level: provider locations or unique providers.

Customized Business Rules
On the surface, no two managed care networks appear to be the same. Your competitor includes pediatricians as primary care physicians; you don't. You count provider locations; your competitor does not. Simple differences like these made accurate comparisons virtually impossible. Network360® ensures true apples-to-apples comparisons.

Integral to Strenuus' work with each individual client is understanding their specific business rules and representing them accurately with Network360®. This ensures that when you look at your data — or your competitors' — it is viewed the way you see your market.

Web-Based Analysis
Network360® is a hosted, web-based application, which means it's simple to set up and start. No software to install, configure and integrate with embedded systems. And you don't need to get on IT's calendar to schedule launch. In minutes you can answer key competitive questions factually and in real time.

The advantages of web-based applications are clear. There is no installation process. Updates to the application and the underlying data can be delivered free and with no intervention on your part. And with no per seat licensing, you can easily distribute the application on a broad scale within your organization.
