Abstract
This Health Industry Insights report provides a macrolevel assessment of
healthcare payer business intelligence pain points, strategies, investment, and
the new emerging technology investment and management models expected though
2010. The report is based on qualitative surveys with healthcare payers during
the third quarter of 2007.
"A convergence of ' perfect storm' environments is emerging within the U.S.
healthcare payer commercial competitive environment, around new product and
transparency demands, and among solutions vendors of business intelligence and
related technologies. High market volatility combined with significant business
intelligence and management needs will introduce management and investment
complexities for healthcare payers through at least the end of the decade,"
said Janice Young, program director, Health Industry Insights Healthcare Payer.
