Vendors have yet to create a fully comprehensive population health management solution, but artificial intelligence and machine learning may enhance these tools in the future.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning could help to accelerate a relatively immature market for population health management tools, according to a Chilmark Research report.
Population health management (PHM) is closely associated with the success of value-based care, the report notes, which makes PHM a key strategy for transforming healthcare delivery and payment models.
“The goal of most PHM programs is to improve the actual health status of a group of patients, and by extension, health outcomes for individual patients,” Chilmark says.
