Out of a Sea of 28 Population Health Vendors a Few Rise to the Top

    OREM, UT, December 11, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a growing population health market, 70% of providers report that they see tangible benefits to patient care when using certain population health vendors. These findings, as well as which vendors excel and why, are included in the first KLAS report on the performance of population health products.

"Providers are starting to recognize the tangible benefits of population health efforts," said report author Mark Allphin. "With all of the focus on this segment, providers are asking which vendors are best positioned to help them realize those benefits. This report was an effort to answer that question."

For this report, KLAS interviewed 203 providers at 173 organizations to determine which vendors are effectively driving outcomes and where the needle is when it comes to providing better patient care and reducing costs. The vendors included in this report are Advisory Board, Alere, Allscripts, athenahealth, Caradigm, Cerner, Conifer Health Solutions, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Evolent, Explorys, Forward Health Group, Healthagen, Health Catalyst, i2i Systems, Kryptiq, Lumeris, McKesson, Medecision, NextGen Healthcare, Optum, Phytel, Premier, Siemens, Valence, Verisk Health, Wellcentive and xG Health.

The report, entitled "Population Health Performance: Emerging Market, Emerging Value," published earlier today. For access to the report, you can download the myKLAS app at http://www.klasresearch.com/lp/downloadklasapp or visit KLAS online at www.KLASresearch.com/reports. The report is available to healthcare providers and vendors.
