Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and are consistent with the accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014. The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement for the periods presented have been recorded. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Form10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 13, 2015.
Segment Information	Segment Information The determination of reportable segments was based on the discrete financial information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"). The Chief Executive Officer has the authority for resource allocation and assessment of the Company’s performance and is, therefore, the CODM. The Company’s segment structure enables us to more effectively focus on business and market facing opportunities and to simplify our business decision-making process. The Company's reportable segments are as follows: Commercial The Commercial segment provides analytic solutions and services to improve the cost, quality, and effectiveness of healthcare for commercial organizations across the healthcare industry including providers, integrated delivery networks, insurers, professional services organizations, healthcare exchanges and employers. Government The Government segment provides integrated analytic solutions and services to improve the cost, quality, and effectiveness of healthcare for federal and state agencies (e.g. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and state Medicaid agencies) and federally owned and operated healthcare facilities. Our sales and client services are tailored to meet the specific procurement, sales and support requirements of the government market. The CODM evaluates the performance of our segments based on segment operating income (loss), which is calculated internally as net sales, less cost of operations (including allocation of technology costs), selling and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Center/shared services consist of items that are not directly attributable to reportable segments, such as corporate administrative costs and elimination of intercompany transactions. Corporate expenses may include other non-recurring or non-operational activity that the CODM excludes in assessing operating segment performance. These expenses, along with depreciation and amortization, other operating income/expense and other non-operating activity such as interest expense/income, are not considered in the measure of the segments’ operating performance, but are shown herein as reconciling items to the Company’s consolidated loss before income taxes. The accounting policies for the reportable segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company. The Company’s operations and customers are based primarily in the United States.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the projected annual pre-tax earnings by jurisdiction and the allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business. These taxing jurisdictions apply a broad range of statutory income tax rates.

Disclosure of accounting policy for income taxes, which may include its accounting policies for recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, recognizing investment tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other carryforwards, methodologies for determining its effective income tax rate and the characterization of interest and penalties in the financial statements.
