Data for the Deluge – Interoperability for Networked Healthcare
Today we release the 2017 Clinician Network Management Market Trends Report. It provides an overview of realistic approaches and solutions to improve data interoperability across the industry. Leading solution vendors are assessed and rated on their capabilities to support this critical function as well as their product roadmap’s alignment to future market needs. This report suggests that a gap remains between industry needs for interoperable data and vendor products, in part because most are tied to an approach and a technology stack that is not easily adaptable to modern development and integration ideas.
The Need for “Precision” Definitions
Healthcare is a study in extremes. On the precise end of the continuum, we have the surgical precision of the neurosurgeon’s scalpel and the micro-precision of genomic studies. On the not-even-close-to-precise opposite end of the continuum, we have the very elements that frame our industry’s care models and Population Health Management (PHM) processes, including health information technology (HIT) tools.
Vendors Enabling the ACO: New Class of Vendors Matures
Successfully enabling an Accountable Care Organization is extremely challenging: There isn’t one standard ACO model; there isn’t one single ACO national policy; there isn’t one specific map to follow to build an ACO nor measure its success. There are few if any best practices readily available for healthcare organizations to adopt and make a successful transition to value-based care (VBC) within an ACO model. This has created a strong market need for high-service solution vendors (“ACO Enablers”) that can guide healthcare organizations (HCOs) on the ACO path.
