It was clearly the year of population health. Risk based contracting is accelerating and our presentations and meeting schedule were packed with healthcare organizations ready to invest in solutions that make population health actionable like ours.

Many other vendors claimed similar capabilities, and we were pressed to explain how our solution differed. Luckily it clearly does. Attendees noted our use of real-time EHR data, built in natural language processing, ability to train our models to their unique dataset and demographics, and our academic research publications as clear differentiators. After visiting a number of similar vendors, one attendee summed it up saying “No one is offering predictive models as sophisticated as this.”
