ACO. Shared Risk. PCMH. Managed Risk. Collaborative Care. Shared Savings. Whatever you may call it, it's coming or it may have already arrived for your organization.No matter its name and how you implement it, it starts with data. Creating it, sharing it, aggregating it, and analyzing it. Then, turning that data into actionable information that is delivered to the point of care. To improve care. To put a lid on rising costs. To manage patients and entire populations. To compare and contrast performance. To determine savings and revenue.
In short, without the right partner and the right tools, you're headed down - pun intended - a very risky path.
