Deep Dive: Artificial Intelligence for Payer Use Cases
Deep Dive: Artificial Intelligence for Payer Use Cases
Jan-23 DOC # US49995322 Insight
This IDC Perspective takes a deep dive into artificial intelligence for payer use cases. In the past decade, health insurance companies have been looking to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to identify at-risk individuals and reduce rising costs in the healthcare sphere.
It's important to note that a majority of the price consumers pay when enrolling in health insurance goes into risk prediction and risk management. By using AI to create a system that can create more accurate risk models and predict which individuals need specific types of care, health insurance providers can spend more money on their beneficiaries and less on those processes. Platforms that can take in, study, and learn from data; refine judgments; and generate intelligent insight can also greatly reduce the need for expensive human data analysts.
When AI is injected into ways of working across the payer workforce, employees can be liberated from more tactical and mundane work. They can be redirected to more strategic tasks, tapping into previously unavailable internal and external data for more insight-driven ways of working. This can translate into new products and services that improve service and member health while supporting new growth strategies for the business.
"The use of AI in health insurance is quickly driving improvements and changing the relationship between payers, providers, and members. It helps enhance and streamline the member/patient experience and make internal operations easier," says Jeff Rivkin, research director, Payer IT Strategies at IDC Health Insights. "While there is still plenty of room to enlarge scope of this technology, it is clear that AI has a foothold in payers."

Payers' Guide to the Future of Trust
Payers' Guide to the Future of Trust
Jan-23 DOC # US49995423 Insight
This IDC Perspective explains why trust is the most important currency in the digital era as well as a cornerstone of digital health. To build trust, payers should implement AI-powered digital experiences that improve listening capabilities, support first-time resolution of member issues, and improve the consistency and clarity of the information provided. If there is no member trust, then engagement, loyalty, and future growth hang in the balance.
"Member trust is not a 'soft' issue for payers. It is a must-have foundation that brings strategic value to the business in the digital economy. Trust is a key driver of member and provider retention and is the lifeblood of the payer business model," says Jeff Rivkin, research director for IDC Health Insights.

IDC's Worldwide Digital Transformation Use Case Taxonomy, 2022: Value-Based Health
Jul-22 DOC # US48584822 Study
This IDC study discusses how healthcare organizations are on a mission to digitally transform to create a value-based healthcare system, even though they may not use the term digital transformation as extensively as other industries such as retail or financial services do. While the pandemic drove unprecedented adoption of virtual visits and other forms of remote care, adoption of other use cases involving the use of artificial intelligence and other use cases also grew. The term care anywhere is becoming the mantra as more healthcare organizations recognize the financial benefits and patient demand for more convenient care. The emergence of the "hospital at home" is one response to the digital transformation occurring in healthcare."
The increased adoption of cloud, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the internet of medical things, over the last 24 months is enabling healthcare organizations to reimagine care models to become more digital first," says Lynne A. Dunbrack, group vice president, IDC Health Insights.

A New Course for Digital Innovation of Healthcare
Jun-22 DOC # EUR149259622 Presentation
This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation was delivered during the IDC European Healthcare Executive Summit on May 18, 2022.
Scaling digital innovation has been a key challenge in healthcare for years. This presentation provides an overview on how the COVID-19 pandemic has enabled European healthcare to develop new best practices and methodologies on how to plan, develop, source, and manage innovation. These methodologies are built around the ability to engage and drive value for individuals, be it patients or the clinical workforce. They enable healthcare organizations to plan, design, and implement tools at the nexus of patients and workforce needs, enabling new care services delivery models. A data-first, applications-second approach will give healthcare organizations the flexibility to mitigate data interoperability, usability, and regulations compliance challenges. It will also set the foundations to scale intelligence across the healthcare enterprise and ecosystem, driving new and richer care services, more flexible operations, and rapid deployment. Finally, a radical approach to infrastructure modernization with a higher degree of orchestration and automation between core, edge, and cloud resources is a precondition to enable a data-driven, agile, and adaptive healthcare organization.

Consumerism and Medicare Advantage Plans Demand that "Appeals and Grievances" Are Handled Well by Payers
Consumerism and Medicare Advantage Plans Demand that "Appeals and Grievances" Are Handled Well by Payers
May-22 DOC # US49033622 Insight
This IDC Perspective outlines the context, requirements, solutions, and vendors executed by payers to address this growing transaction in the health ecosystem.
"Although the appeals and grievances payer function has been historically internally cobbled together, there are now all-encompassing technologies that provide the rigor that CMS demands," says Jeff Rivkin, research director at IDC Health Insights. "No one internal payer organization really 'owns' appeals and grievances so, like most hybrid, multifunction spaces, the resultant processes and software are internally fragmented. Consumerism and CMS have now demanded that industrial strength software and processes exist in all Medicare Advantage Plans, and commercial plans are following suit. We now have the means and motivations to address this emotional member transaction that exemplifies the pain caused in the fragmented healthcare/payer environment."

Intelligent Document Processing Demonstrates How AI Can Make a Practical Difference to Business Right Now
Intelligent Document Processing Demonstrates How AI Can Make a Practical Difference to Business Right Now
May-22 DOC # EUR147282421 Insight
This IDC Perspective explores how document AI technologies are revolutionizing the automated document processing landscape. Organizations have used automated document processing technology for decades, but the technology was complicated to configure and manage. AI technologies are significantly changing the economics and the "art of the possible" in this space, and the scope of work that new intelligent document processing systems can help to automate (with the help of AI) has extended significantly beyond document capture and OCR. Four clusters of vendors are competing to capture the opportunity, and technology buyers must think carefully about their goals and priority use cases to make sensible investment decisions.
"Intelligent document processing is an area in which AI technologies are having a tangible impact on everyday business operations. There are exciting opportunities in applying these technologies beyond simply improving the efficiency of back-office business processes," said Neil Ward-Dutton, vice president for AI, Automation, and Analytics, IDC Europe. "Organizations looking for ways to apply AI pragmatically, today, should prioritize investigating intelligent document processing."
