Government Solutions

A holistic view of fraud based on multisource data points. Prioritized alerts from multiple monitoring systems. And a hybrid analytic approach that lets you connect the dots between seemingly unrelated events and hidden relationships. We deliver solutions that enable you to proactively detect fraud across a variety of areas:

• Tax and revenue. Close the tax gap with more effective audits and investigations by predicting tax fraud and noncompliance, and finding suspicious activity quickly.
• Workforce programs. Diagnose the eligibility and legitimacy of claims in unemployment and workers comp programs– including employee misclassifications – by analyzing disparate sources of data.
• Benefits programs. Save billions by moving beyond “pay and chase” for Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, etc. An integrated workflow lets you analyze data from multiple sources to detect potential fraud in near-real time.
• Procurement fraud. Help your procurement shop make smarter, more efficient agency buys while ensuring they spend tax payer dollars correctly from both compliance (acquisition goals, FAR, etc.) and legal (no fraud, waste or abuse) perspectives.

Gain a true enterprise view to detect fraud, waste and abuse before money goes out the door. Focus on cases that present the greatest risk by prioritizing alerts before an investigation begins. And constantly improve your detection abilities with a continuous feedback loop. Only SAS enables you to:

• Address fraud, waste and abuse at a single entity level across all program areas. Integrate siloed data from multiple systems – and from external public or purchased data – and apply data quality techniques that support entity resolution.
• Detect more fraud faster using multiple analytic methods. A hybrid analytic approach combines heuristic rules, anomaly detection, predictive modeling, network analysis and more to quickly identify suspicious activities and prioritize them for further investigation.
• Fine-tune your detection analytics, and reduce false positives. Feed alert engine outcomes back into the analytics engine. And stay one step ahead of fraudsters with prepackaged models and detection analytics that we maintain.

Targeted, effective health care programs and policies. Better transparency, accountability and fiscal integrity. And a health analytics foundation that drives business, clinical and programmatic insights. Our solutions help you improve your effectiveness in:

• Population health outcomes. Analyze big data to identify health disparities, target health care programs most effectively, and ensure the proper allocation of health care resources.
• All-payer claims databases (APCD). View how and where the cost and quality of health care can be improved – and scale your health data infrastructure to meet your state’s needs.
• Transparency. Explore and analyze cost, quality, access and utilization data to gain insights. Identify patterns and trends unique to your geographic area. And share that information with the public.
• Health care fraud, waste and abuse. Rapidly detect and investigate suspicious claims – and identify collusive behavior among criminal networks – before improper payments are issued.
  

Consolidate, cleanse and visually explore health-related big data from any system, in any format. Explore how to spend taxpayer dollars more wisely. And gain insights to strengthen financial and budgetary performance, deepen consumer-centric relationships and improve the way health care is conceived and delivered. With SAS, you can:

• Precisely target public health initiatives. Assess disparities in health care and outcomes across populations and in specific geographic locations – down to the most detailed level – by applying advanced analytics designed specifically to address diverse use cases to any amount of health care data.
• Spot trends and model scenarios designed to provide higher-quality, lower-cost care – without having to be an expert in analytics. Anyone with access rights can visually explore huge amounts of data quickly and easily using interactive Web-based reports, even on mobile devices.
• Reduce the amount of government funds lost to fraud. Detect, prevent and manage health care fraud with an open, scalable, high-performance solution that uses a hybrid analytics approach to detect fraud at multiple points – provider and beneficiary eligibility screening, prepayment within the health care claims flow, or in post-payment review.

Safer, less-congested transportation systems. Great fiscal responsibility and environmental sustainability. And the right resources on the right projects at the right time. Our solutions deliver superior results with solutions that address:

• Predictive road maintenance. Foresee maintenance needs ahead of time so you can act preventively to “armor up” roads – and save money – rather than responding reactively and incurring high repair costs.
• Predictive asset maintenance. Reduce downtime and lower mechanical costs by keeping assets in peak condition and accurately predicting necessary maintenance intervals.
• Crash analytics. Identify trends and model the effects of various transportation planning scenarios across multiple years. And support highway safety plans and funding decisions, optimize resources and create outcomes-based project selection criteria.
  

Collect data on every aspect of all assets – roads, bridges, signs and equipment. Analyze consolidated information and sensor data to address current and future transportation needs. Then model the effects of various transportation planning scenarios across multiple years and modes. With SAS, you can:

• Improve road safety, accessibility and reliability. Identify trends and develop ideal highway safety plans and interventions using sophisticated crash data analysis. Determine how to best reduce congestion and optimize each transportation mode by modeling what-if scenarios and testing with historical data.
• Avoid major defects and extended downtimes. Identify and address issues before they escalate using near-real-time monitoring along with predictive alerts and models.
• Optimize main­tenance cycles. Use optimization algorithms to expand main­tenance cycles without jeopardizing asset uptimes or risking degradations or failures. Troubleshoot and correct performance issues faster using root-cause analysis. Enable maintenance teams to fix issues during scheduled outages – and choose the best time to replace each asset.
