This forecast, along with the federal government's response in the form of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), are increasing the need for healthcare organizations to improve their understanding of the costs of care and the use of data-driven insights to optimize efficiencies while simultaneously improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
