Former Apple CEO John Sculley on the 'transformative opportunity' in ACOs, analytics and machine learning

While the future of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, is quite uncertain, parts of the famous healthcare reform act likely will have a lasting impact. "The transformative opportunity here is all about the reimbursement shift from fee-for-service to the accountable care model, with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the major driver behind it," said John Sculley, chairman of the board and chief marketing officer at RxAdvance who previously served as CEO of Apple and PepsiCo. "And as we know there are hundreds of accountable care organizations out there, some operating under one definition and some under others. This is an evolving thing." Sculley is looking at this transformative opportunity in healthcare through the lens of his company RxAdvance, a vendor of a cloud-based pharmacy benefit management platform.
