Advisory Board survey results explore trends in the top three investment areas for population health management
The Care Transformation Center at the Advisory Board surveyed 180 healthcare provider systems, standalone community hospitals, academic medical centers, and physician practices from July-October 2013 to offer a unique snapshot of population health managers’ investment priorities. Key highlights of the survey include:
• Population health managers must prioritize investments in workforce, IT, and network development
• Leaders report care management workforce (staff, medical homes, new leadership competencies) as the #1 investment
• Top IT investments include risk segmentation analytics (85%), patient care registries (83%), and patient portals (70%)
• Most respondents have implemented partnerships with community organizations, including community service groups, local health clinics, and employers
• Only 64% of respondents can segment risk by patient population by risk
For population health managers, the top three investment areas identified are: a flexible care management workforce, analytics to drive value from IT, and a preferred partner network. For more information, see the images below:
