We are connecting consumers, physicians and the health care system as never before. Starting with our expertise in health benefits solutions and health information technology, we have added important new relationships, new technology solutions and new capabilities. With platforms and tools like iNexx® and iTriage®, we are giving consumers personalized tools to help them manage their own health. We also are helping physicians and hospitals build new bridges to the health care model of the future. We believe our path will lead to better health care systems in the U.S. and around the globe.
Aetna provides people with the connections they need to access the right care at the right time. We believe our solutions and capabilities provide greater efficiency, speed and effectiveness of care for our members. With the right connections, we are expanding the range of solutions we offer to help people address their health issues and lower total effective costs for our customers.
Consumers Our long-standing commitment to help people achieve their health care goals has not changed over the years, but the way we deliver on this undertaking is evolving rapidly. Aetna’s use of technology is creating entirely new connections to better coordinate care and improve the health care experience. We are making health care easier to understand and use to help consumers navigate and personalize the health care experience.

Providers Aetna is helping to lead the health care system toward a new collaborative approach that makes possible new levels of connectedness between consumers, health care providers and health plans.

- With our patented CareEngine® system, we provide clinical decision support that finds gaps in care and alerts attending physicians, resulting in better quality care. And our Active Care TeamSM makes it easy for physicians to track, coordinate and monitor the care of their patients across different care settings.
- Supported by NaviNet Mobile Connect, we launched new mobile health care tools for doctors in 2011 that quickly alert them to opportunities to improve care and e-prescribe.
- Aetna placed first among national health plans in the 2011 PayerView® rankings for simplicity and efficiency of its business transactions processes.
