Published on 27 Sep 2011Executives from Pointwest Technologies Corp. will be attending the 83rd AHIMA Convention & Exhibit, “Reaching New Heights in Health Information”, on October 1-6, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah as part of a Philippine delegation.

Pointwest is a 100% Filipino-owned global service company providing IT and BPO outsourcing services from the Philippines and is a relatively new but agile player in the healthcare space.
Pointwest currently offers Pharmacy Benefit Management services in three core areas of expertise:
• Benefit Design Management
• Pharmacy Network Management
• Clinical Management
A major client for this service is one of the top 3 leading PBM companies from the US.
The Philippines is making a big push to provide services for the global health and wellness industry because of the abundant supply of Philippine healthcare workers, particularly nurses, and the challenges faced by healthcare providers worldwide – rising costs and changing legislation – that mandate more affordable healthcare for all.
President Beng Coronel, Ms. Beth Daffon and Ms. Lucy Flores will be attending the convention. Any requests for meetings can be requested online at this site.
