Abstract

This IDC TechBrief provides IT and business executives with an executive snapshot on comprehensive risk stratification technology for value-based healthcare, with specific analysis of benefits, risks, adoption rates, success factors, select products, metrics, and investment requirements. Figures 1–7 should be used in business proposals, marketing, use cases, and IT strategy and planning documents.

"To be successful in a value-based healthcare model, providers must have timely, relevant, and accurate data as a foundation for any successful multidimensional improvement program," said Jennifer Eaton, research director, IDC Health Insights. "Never in the history of healthcare has this volume of data been accessible. Now is the time to optimize our tools, create new insights that lead to new efficiencies, and create the quality healthcare standard we all deserve."
