According to Health Catalyst, the population health analytics market is a crowded and chaotic one, with many vendors lining up to claim they can help providers use their data to improve care and lower costs.  Making a wrong decision at this time in the market will paint you into a decision corner that could last four to five years, at least, while the market rapidly moves past your organization towards accountable care and quality-based payment models. 

This paper is designed to help you with your PHM analytics buying decision.  It outlines general criteria to help you assess a clinical analytics vendor; discusses the technology and change management an effective analytics solution should support; and introduces a Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model that will help you analyze vendors and evaluate your own plans for analytics adoption.
