QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
“Individuals with chronic conditions are the largest, highest-cost and fastest-growing segment of the population.
Data mining and predictive analytics are great hedges against the escalating costs of acute and chronic care. These tools can help organizations to identify and target individuals who are at risk for costly health conditions and tailor appropriate medical interventions. Health risk stratification not only helps to head off costly medical interventions but can also predict those individuals likely to experience future gaps in care."
