	“I would suggest that the predictive modeling community closely look at the data explosion which goes beyond traditional healthcare claims data and start leveraging them to make predictive modeling initiatives more effective and efficient. Also, as we get access to data on new members through healthcare reform, we should capitalize on that to see how we could make such increased healthcare access more sustainable. Lastly, I would recommend that we focus on implementation aspects of predictive modeling initiatives, especially at point of care, to ensure we derive value out of our investments in predictive modeling.” - Soyal Momin, MS MBA, Director, Research Environment & Informatics, HealthCore
