Overview
The healthcare providers, patients, employers, and other decision-makers who rely on healthcare information face an overwhelming jigsaw puzzle of clinical data and processes. Greater access to information is generally a good thing, but too much information in the realm of healthcare can actually increase costs, create confusion, and lead to bad decisions.
Healthcare companies such as Humana and Aetna, and new entrants including Google and Microsoft, have started to recognize and calculate the true value of the information being produced by their business models. Reaching those objectives profitably requires what we call “Trusted Transparency”—the efficient interpretation and optimized delivery of healthcare data to specific key constituents and their exact information needs.
