“These efforts go beyond the initial ACA-driven initiatives and reflect the increased priorities of patient and consumer experience, operational efficiency, and the importance of prevention, social determinants of health and outcomes-based payment trends,” says Amy Andersen, healthcare industry lead for North Highland Worldwide Consulting.
