"In general, large employers are not currently users of predictive modeling techniques, but that will no doubt change as more employers work with their carriers as well as third-party service providers to link rewards and incentives to employee engagement strategies for self-care and collaborative care. Those investments, designed to stimulate engagement that will presumably create an ROI downstream, will require predictive modeling approaches to identify and prioritize selected and specific engagement opportunities.” Jeremy Nobel MD MPH, Adjunct Lecturer, Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health
