	"Beginning 2014, millions of previously uninsured people in the US will be rolling into health plans through the exchange provisions in the Affordable Care Act, leaving their carriers with the task of risk identification of members with little if any historical personal health information. Consequently, traditional claims- or EHR-driven predictive models will be either weak or unobtainable for the newly insured. Most all individuals, however, do generate consumer information, which can be used for health risk indexing; therefore, I’d expect in preparation for dealing with this PHI void, healthcare organizations will be developing predictive models using these data more prevalently in 2013.” Damon Shepherd MS, Independent Consultant
