Vital Signs - A Look at Whats Driving Payers Use of Analytics Solutions in 2014

In early November 2013, Frost & Sullivan conducted an online survey, followed up by a live focus group with about 20 C-suite executives from leading commercial payer organizations across the US. The goal was to gain insights into how the health insurance industry is approaching the use of analytics solutions going into 2014. Analytics solutions were defined in three categories: 1) core platform solutions for big data functions; 2) point solutions designed to address specific business needs; and 3) external analytics vendors that payer organizations use to provide services or expertise. This issue discusses results from that research, which also will be presented in full in a forthcoming deliverable.
