"Although data warehousing and analysis are key to risk-stratifying patients and health plan members and devising interventions that will improve care delivery, clinical outcomes and cost savings, nearly one-third of respondents to our 2015 ACO survey identified data analytics as the most significant hurdle of ACO development. With its two dozen ACOs, Collaborative Health Systems, has valuable experience to impart on the profitability of a deep dive into healthcare data."
