At Aetna, McCarthy Introduces New Technologies to Empower Customers
Within the past 10 years, consumer access to online healthcare information has significantly changed the way people think about medical care and health decision making, points out Aetna CIO and SVP Meg McCarthy. In the year since I&T recognized McCarthy as one of 2007's Elite 8 insurance technology executives, her focus has remained on driving process discipline and improved productivity throughout the Aetna Information Services (AIS) organization so the carrier can "continue to lead the industry in delivering information to our customers," she says, adding that during the past year Aetna continued to realign its organization to ensure a stronger focus on creating customer value through innovation and technology.

As if that weren't enough, at the beginning of this year McCarthy also assumed responsibility for Aetna's procurement and real estate services organizations. "This presented an opportunity to strengthen the partnerships with our business partners and between these teams, which work hand in hand to manage critical components of Aetna's portfolio and deliver solutions to our customers," she explains.
