IBM Throws a Spotlight on Population Health Management Companies

Overview


Dale Van Demark said that interest has grown in deals to acquire population health management software companies, as healthcare delivery systems combine and insurers see population health as a way to save money and create better results. Such companies are “able to provide a technological tool to collect, track and utilize what data comes their way for population management,” Mr. Van Demark noted. “There’s a lot of interest right now in what technology can do to assist the transition from an incident to population health management perspective.”
