Around the world, healthcare is coming under increasing pressure as expectations on health systems continue to rise and the cost of care continues to approach unsustainable levels.
In the US, there are mounting efforts to move from the traditional fee-for-service model to value-based reimbursement, where providers assume risk for the overall cost of care. Globally, health systems are striving to improve the delivery of care but are inevitably hamstrung by their inability to measure and track outcomes, ever-changing quality measures, and the processes they’re responsible for. At the heart of these issues and initiatives is the inability for healthcare organizations to effectively enable systemwide quality improvements and cost-reduction efforts.
