Much Progress, Many Miles Ahead

Last week, I attended the 3rd Population Health Summit hosted by Cerner in Kansas City. The event certainly has grown in size and maturity since I attended the inaugural event two summers ago.

Cerner’s PHM-enabling platform, HealtheIntent, has matured, broadened and developed substantially over the last two or so years.  Here are some of the main impressions that I took away from the event:

• Increasing emphasis on social and behavioral factors but uncertainty abounds
• Longitudinal care plans begins to take center stage
• Everybody has their own recipe
• Wrapping services around the technology
• There is no ROI - Yet

For more details about these impressions and my overall summary you can read more at Chilmark Research:
