Topic
Healthcare: Big data approach to risk assessment
Abstract
Recent regulations have empowered the consumers, making them the primary drivers of the healthcare market. Consumers are bearing a growing share of the costs associated with healthcare – as such, they are looking to spend their first dollar more optimally and expecting more tailored care in return. Likewise, risk-bearing entities are trying to better understand contemporary consumers in terms of risk, geography and healthcare behaviors. Traditional methods involving analysis of claims have failed to provide that understanding. Where these traditional approaches to risk management fail, big data enables risk-bearing entities to amalgamate data from multiple sources to generate actionable information. This presentation describes one such approach.
