Many factors are now driving hospitals and care systems to expand their scope to focus on PHM. A strong case can be made for PHM as the central paradigm for delivering high-quality cost-effective care.Oftentimes, key capabilities of care management are acquired from separate vendors in order to manage networks, evaluate claims, analyze patient population health and outcomes, engage individuals, and coordinate care. For years, physician offices have provided a great deal of care services that couldn't be reimbursed through normal fee-for-service mechanisms. In such a scenario, tools like the chronic care management code allows care teams to bill certain Medicare patients for non-face-to-face care coordination services, expand care management services, and enable PHM. As the risk for a population of patients shifts to the provider, health systems need to know more about the patients they serve. Focusing on improving collaboration between payers and providers, PHM tools aggregate, process, and normalize patient health and demographic data to assess the covered population's composition and health status. Once the data is collected, through risk stratification, patient's past and current health state can be compared with the historical records. Further, accurate risk prediction can help providers anticipate clinical and utilization risk.Additionally, population health strategies apply technology to continually identify, assess, and stratify populations, along with automating the processes. Bringing modern information technology to bear on PHM strategies save time, money, and make it economically feasible. On that note, we present to you a list of most advanced PHM solutions that will help you make comprehensive and authoritative strategies to improve healthcare quality. The vendors featured in this edition target at building a healthier population, minimizing the need for expensive interventions and emergency visits. Strengthening the PHM Approach with Technology
