"When it comes to bundles, data analytics is mission-critical. To optimally design, price and contract for bundles, you need access to both local and national data for benchmarking costs and utilization to identify appropriate treatments and conditions to bundle.

Overlaying predictive analytics helps identify who would or would not benefit from being in any value-based program and refine how to factor outliers into the same methodology."
- Swati Abbott, Chief Executive Officer, Blue Health Intelligence.
