  "Right now, most ACOs are basing their analytics and population health programs outreach on lagged claims data and patient selection criteria that are broad stroke in their specificity. Moving forward, the maturation of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies will enable data to be aggregated and normalized in real time, automatically and intelligently — and eventually may support physicians and care managers in better pinpointing which patients need which specific types of medical interventions at a much earlier stage in their care."
- Deb Schoenthaler MHA, Chief Operating Officer, Beth Israel Deaconess Care Organization.
