Quote
  "I’d consider the growth of population health management as the major predictive modeling advance [since 2010]. Rather than a specific technical innovation within predictive modeling methodologies, the fact that population health management is now generally accepted as one of the most important tasks is a significant shift in our national healthcare system. Since population health management is built on top of predictive modeling, predictive modeling has become part of the foundation of healthcare delivery. Three years ago, the scope of predictive modeling was far more limited.” Lawrence S. Borok, President, Vantage Point Healthcare Information Systems.
