Scenario
Effective population health management programs require healthcare providers to rely heavily on big data derived from both their own health IT systems, from their business partners, and from state and federal database sets that are available for providers.
Providers, payers, and other stakeholders must choose the right big data sources to support their population health management initiatives. To develop a comprehensive portrait of a patient’s clinical, financial, and social risks, healthcare providers must aggregate key data from across the care continuum before they can leverage risk scoring frameworks and target interventions to individuals.
