Healthcare It

Our healthcare IT work spans payer- and provider-related technology innovations, including workflow, analytic and data-driven solutions that promise reduced costs and improved outcomes in a sector that represents greater than 17% of U.S. gross domestic product.

Subcategories within the broader sector:

Provider: Revenue cycle management, patient engagement, population health, heath information management, governance, risk and compliance, and supply chain and logistics.

Payer: Distribution, member, provider and network management; care and utilization management; quality and revenue operations; and value-based care.

Healthcare expenditures already account for more than 17% of U.S. gross domestic product. This will almost surely increase as the nation continues to age (the “Silver Tsunami”) and as we continue to see increasing demand for healthcare services. Combined with government’s interest in payment models that better align costs with outcomes, this increased societal demand should drive demand for technology-based solutions that improve system efficiency and control costs. We also expect individuals to become more fully involved in navigating and making decisions about their healthcare. This should create continued opportunity for innovation, as the collective healthcare industry lags in enabling consumer-friendly experiences.
