Jvion Releases 2021 Predictions: Value-Based Care, Consumerism, Behavioral Health, and Social Determinants to Drive Clinical AI Adoption
Summary
“With the election decided, it’s clear that health system revenue will continue to shift to value-based care models,” said Dr. John Showalter, Jvion’s Chief Product Officer. “Once it reaches a tipping point of 50% of total revenue, providers’ financial performance will be inextricably linked to their patients outcomes.” “To survive, providers and payers will need to harness their data to predict and mitigate patient risk, and prescriptive clinical AI will be an essential capability,” adds Dr. John Frownfelter, Jvion’s Chief Medical Information Officer. “And with a new surge in Covid-19 extending the toll on health systems through at least early 2022, clinical AI will be more essential than ever to prevent negative quality events and keep costs down.” In this context, Dr. Frownfelter and Dr. Showalter predict four key trends will drive change in healthcare in 2021: • A Joe Biden presidency will likely accelerate the trend towards value-based care, with the pace depending on who ultimately controls the Senate following runoff races in Georgia. Democratic control will likely lead to a stronger legislative push for capitation over fee-for-service models, while divided government may limit action to the executive agency level. This trend will drive healthcare payers to invest in prescriptive clinical AI platforms that deliver personalized care plans and engagement recommendations for their members.
