  "Clear, substantive promotion of value-based care and alternative payment models by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would be the biggest development this year, as that would drive renewed interest and investment in healthcare predictive analytics, spurring innovation. CMS Administrator Seema Verma has publicly expressed her support for value-based care, and the recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has already led to a pendulum swing away from access and coverage to the issue of cost -- how to slow the growth of healthcare spending -- a challenging problem that requires the application of healthcare predictive analytics in spades."
