Abstract
This Health Industry Insights report previews vendor solutions and next-generation
business intelligence solution requirements for healthcare payers. Most of the
business intelligence work and investment by healthcare payers in the
past decade focused on making information available. A daunting task
to be sure, but not the end point of the
business intelligence and transparency initiatives by any means. New solutions
are emerging across the healthcare payer market that will enable
the healthcare payer to use triggers and alerts to push
and focus information delivery, direct or recommend action, and then
determine whether the action produced the desired improvement.
"Only when information
impact and action can be measured, communicated, and integrated into
new methods to further improve performance will the healthcare payer
business intelligence efforts provide value," notes Janice Young, research director,
Health Industry Insights.
