	"Over the past several years, two predictive modeling initiatives that have had significant impact on healthcare processes and outcomes are (a) member identification, stratification and triaging for care management and (b) risk assessment and risk adjustment in support of payment innovation efforts for the population health management and shared savings/incentives/revenue.... Proactive identification of high-risk members and addressing their care needs in a timely fashion has also led to cost-of-care savings. Payment innovation efforts and delegation of risk management from payers to providers have created partnerships between payers and providers around sharing payer informatics and best practices for population health management. Attributed population underlying illness burden and its impact on savings/incentives/revenue has been addressed by payers through risk adjustment. Such use of predictive modeling has led to better adoption of payment innovations by providers.” Soyal Momin MS MBA, HealthCore
	For the seventh year in a row, a majority of respondents, 58.2%, ranked identification of high-risk patients for care management as the highest priority for how an organization could spend its funds on predictive modeling initiatives.
