Next Frontier of Care Management
As we wrap up the forthcoming 2017 Care Management Market Trends Report, I have been pondering the issue of social determinants of health (SDoH).

Deriving Value from Enterprise Systems
Much consternation has been expressed over the years regarding massive enterprise software roll-outs. There are numerous examples in virtually any industry sector one cares to look at.
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.
