Population health management is one of the hottest emerging markets in the health IT space and vendors are quickly racing to carve out market share.70% of providers report that they see tangible benefits to patient care when using certain population health vendors, according to KLAS. But with so many PHM vendors and very little data, healthcare providers are having a hard time identifying who is the best vendor to help them maximize the benefits of their population health efforts.
To gain more perspective, KLAS interviewed 203 providers at 173 organizations to determine which population health vendors are effectively driving outcomes and where the needle is when it comes to providing better patient care and reducing costs. Their latest report, Population Health Performance: Emerging Market, Emerging Value, found Phytel as the “sole” early leader in the competitive market for population health management (PHM) solutions.

“Over the past year we have seen an exponential increase in interest surrounding population health management, especially as healthcare organizations work to make the transition to shared risk and pay-for-performance,” said Steve Schelhammer, CEO of Phytel. “As providers continue to pursue the Triple Aim, we are excited that KLAS has recognized Phytel as the sole ‘early leader’ in this space. We feel it speaks highly to the hard work our team has put in developing our innovative approach to PHM, and to the market leadership of our client organizations.”
