This Market Scan Report examines the market forces driving health care organization (HCO) interest in solutions that promise more targeted patient outreach, coordinated care management, and greater opportunity for patient self-management between care episodes. Motivating factors include serious limitations of legacy engagement solutions to meet business case needs and consumer usability expectations, the need to support patient engagement outside the four walls of the hospital, and economic factors that range from value-based care to provider-payer convergence to higher out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Population health management (PHM) solutions are at a level of maturity to meet many of the needs of healthcare organizations (HCOs). Yet a clear divide between the different types of solutions is emerging, according to this latest report from Chilmark Research.

Building on the 2014 and 2016 editions of this report, Chilmark returned to the market this year to assess critical changes in vendor solutions and how well they map to provider needs. Notably, analytics solutions and care management applications are more tightly linked now and show promise for moving analytics-derived insights closer to the point of care. Analytics applications are also becoming more user friendly — an opportunity for differentiation previously identified in the 2016 edition.

Now Free! This report delves into three case studies of different population health management strategies, examining the clinical and technology models. This research project is intended to increase PHM speed to value, helping to identify optimal health IT (HIT) enablement. The report combines the findings from these case studies with additional primary and secondary research to distill common themes and provide recommendations for other HCOs considering or already deploying a PHM strategy of their own.
This report provides a comprehensive review of more than 25 solutions available today to meet the various needs of provider organizations pursuing care management strategies. It also examines for the first time the potential for patient relation management (PRM) and condition-specific solutions to help HCOs engage with patients and achieve ROI in their care management programs. Reflecting the market’s emphasis on episodic care, the report’s vendor rankings focuses on core care management functionality and places less emphasis on a solution’s care coordination features.
This month’s Domain Monitor is a little bit different. We recently read through Dr. Eric Topol’s latest book, The Patient Will See You Now. Over the past few years, Topol has become a “crossover” figure between our insular world of health IT and the more mainstream media. Today he is a widely respected thought leader in the area of digital medicine. In his latest book, he explores the myriad of changes happening to the traditional delivery of medical care, fueled by advances in consumerism, technology, science, regulation…and the list goes on.
