HR InTouch with Benefit Informatics will allow CTCA to access all benefit-related information in one place, creating a more efficient way to manage and adapt to changes in the healthcare industry.

By comparing plans side-by-side with the portal's personalized decision support tools, employees will be able to make better decisions based on their individual health and financial needs.

"At CTCA, we recognize that healthy, happy and engaged professionals, whom we call Stakeholders, create and deliver the fully integrated, personalized care that our patients need and value. The consumer-centric design and extensive decision support features of HR InTouch appealed to our need to deliver personalized communications to specific segments of our workforce for an enhanced Stakeholder engagement strategy," said Eric Magnussen, Vice President, Talent at CTCA. "Benefitfocus Benefit Informatics provides the data analytics component that will enable CTCA to analyze plan designs, so we can offer benefits in a way that empowers Stakeholders with tools they can use to make better decisions to support their healthy wellbeing."

HR InTouch incorporates educational videos throughout the enrollment workflow, providing additional decision support and easy to understand explanations of complex healthcare topics. Employees have the ability to conveniently access the portal along with all of its powerful decision support and wellness tools using any web-enabled mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone.

"The opportunity to work with a company whose cutting-edge treatment helps in the fight against cancer puts the importance of healthcare into perspective," said Shawn Jenkins, President and CEO of Benefitfocus.
