The evolving market

According to the IDC MarketScape report, payers are looking for data management solutions in an effort to reengineer and automate their "provider back office." Provider data, once a reference point, has shifted to a core administrative asset for claims validation, as well as a consumer differentiator. For payers and buyers, clean, high-quality data is vital to the success of data management software solutions and the industry as a whole.

"Quality provider data is essential to keeping our $3 trillion healthcare industry functioning," said Josh Schoeller, SVP and general manager of the LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Health Care business. "Inefficient, fragmented and uncoordinated processes to managing this information contribute to waste, degraded ability to make decisions and possibly even patient safety concerns. As the industry moves to value-based care, provider data integrity, governance, access, and sharing must be viewed as one strategy. LexisNexis Risk Solutions is at the forefront of this, helping customers build and sustain effective provider data management initiatives."
