Press Release

��ɫ, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that it has been chosen by American Health Plans to streamline its document preparation process for enrollment. The solution consists of the GlobalLink Vasont Inspire CCMS platform and Vasont Inspire’s Medical Benefits Starter Kit, which combine to simplify the process of managing and updating documents for plan customers.

American Health Plans, a division of Tennessee-based American Health Partners, owns and manages Medicare Advantage institutional special-needs plans (I-SNPS) in 10 states for seniors who reside in long-term care facilities. Each year, the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all Medicare Advantage providers to publish their plan documents before October 1. As American Health Plans continues to expand its membership into different states, it needed to scale its process for preparing mandatory documents (SBCs, EOCs, and ANOCs) in English and in other languages. American Health Plans required a solution that improved information consistency while minimizing unneeded changes.

Using GlobalLink Vasont Inspire, a component content management system (CCMS), American Health Plans will be able to provide its members clear and accurate plan booklets while meeting government-required deadlines through greater efficiency in preparing and translating plan documents.

GlobalLink Vasont Inspire is part of ��ɫ’s GlobalLink CCMS technology group, a division focused on facilitating automated document publication in English and other languages. With this new solution in place, American Health Plans can make changes in one place that propagate across all plan documents, increasing their capabilities to serve members from diverse populations and across multiple languages without increasing the effort to prepare content.

Robin Bradley, Chief Operating Officer at American Health Plans, said, “��ɫ is working with us to improve our process for document preparation, ensuring that all our content is up-to-date, accessible in multiple languages, and compliant with government regulations. These solutions allow us to focus less time on document preparation so we can invest more resources in providing the best possible healthcare and services for our clients to maintain their optimum health and wellness.”

��ɫ President and CEO Phil Shawe commented, “��ɫ is proud to provide technology that helps American Health Plans better serve seniors and others seeking affordable healthcare.”

3 Tips to Conquer Your Fear of XML

3 Tips to Conquer Your Fear of XML jpressman Mon, 03/03/2014 - 16:54

Blog

Technical communicators often cringe when they hear talk of using XML to write their content. Despite all of its benefits, XML may be perceived to be overwhelmingly technical for writers who are used to authoring their content in MSWord. If you are one of those writers who fear XML, keep reading. We’ve provided three tips to help you better understand XML and ease your anxiety:

Don’t overcomplicate it.

Every document is made up of parts. Even a document as simple as a novel has parts: a title and paragraphs. XML is simply a way to label those identifiable parts of a document by tagging where the part begins and ends – and keep those labels stored in the document itself.

Ignore the formatting.

A basic principle of XML is “the separation of content from formatting”. Using our novel example, the XML tag for the <title> simply tells programs that “This is a title”; it does not say, “Display the title in all capital letters surrounded by green horizontal rules above and below”. This formatting information is provided separately in a style sheet. Styles get applied at publishing time to the individual parts of the document. This principle of “separation of content from formatting” is key to the advantages that you can gain from using XML.

Use tools that can help.

Some writers fear using tags, but that fear can be alleviated by using a good XML editing tool and multilingual content management system (CMS) to manage your XML in any language. These tools assist writers with tagging by providing easier ways to apply tags rather than typing a bunch of angle brackets. They can also display your XML content in a styled preview to make it easier to read and edit. Additionally, these tools can ensure that your XML is valid. A CMS implementation using XML content can also boost the reuse of your content, saving you editorial and publishing time as well as translation costs.
