As healthcare organizations take on more accountability through value-based contracting, they are making business and clinical intelligence solutions an integral part of their population health strategy. These solutions have significantly advanced in recent years and healthcare organizations are using them to better inform decisions and drive actions for success in managing patient populations. Four new developments in analytics solutions strengthen the tools available to support providers in effectively managing the health of their patients. The evolution of algorithms and models that analyze healthcare indicators and system-specific patterns enables organizations to more precisely identify at-risk and rising-risk patients within their population.
