ABSTRACT
Healthcare has passed the tipping point and we are now amidst a cycle of rapid and complex change (Gladwell, 2000). The Accountable Care Organization, Medical Home, Health Home, Population Management, and the expanding Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP) are but a few of the many new care delivery models and drivers demanding value for quality in the delivery of healthcare. The list below shows that as of June 14, 2014 the United States falls last for healthcare quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives (Davis, et al., 2014). As of May 2017, the gap has increased between the United States and the other countries listed (Sawyer and Gonzales, 2017). 76There is much work to be done in a very short time and advanced analytics holds the promise to help us meet the challenge.
