Orlando, Florida, March 12, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America “Hannover Life Re”, announced today the launch of a new version of ASCENT. The new version was released March 1, 2012.
ASCENT is a leading edge web-based guide providing the most current information needed for assessing risks. ASCENT is designed to meet the needs of Underwriters at all experience levels. ASCENT incorporates a wealth of supporting documentation, illustrations, considerations, and other tools while also making all ratings accessible in just two clicks if desired.
This latest release includes updates to numerous medical conditions based on the latest medical research. Along with other significant updates to the manual, we have added and/or revised a number of state-of-the-art medical calculators. Among these new enhancements is the new CAD disease severity calculator. This interactive heart diagram takes the guesswork out of determining coronary disease severity by allowing the user to select the amount of coronary obstruction in each vessel from dropdown boxes, while the disease severity level is updated in real-time. Kevin Oldani, Senior Vice President and Chief Underwriter of Hannover Life Re commented “We are excited about this new release and feel it demonstrates our commitment to continuously refine our underwriting manual based on the needs of our client companies.”
