Quote
  "The primary driver behind population health initiatives is incentivizing providers to keep their patient population healthy and reimbursing them for those efforts. Unlike a fee-for-service model, clinicians are increasingly becoming financially rewarded for keeping patients healthy and reducing the amount of care needed, rather than compensated for the amount of tests and treatments that they can bill."
-Jim Hansen, Vice President of Health Policy, Lumeris, St. Louis

 
Factoid
  "McKinsey Global Institute has estimated that "in about 10 years, there is an opportunity to capture more than $300 billion annually in new value" created by big data, with about two-thirds of that driven by reductions to national health care expenditures."
