2008 Healthcare Payer Administrative Enterprise Solutions: A New Look

This Health Industry Insights report finds that an explosion of healthcare payer mergers, acquisitions, new consumer-focused business models, and increasing competitions creates new demands for high-performing enterprise administrative and clinical solutions. The volatile healthcare payer business market is mirrored by an equally volatile technology market of vendors supplying the critical core administrative applications. Historically, there have been dwindling core administrative and enterprise solutions options for healthcare payers.

"The combination, however, of new business requirements and an increasingly changing and diverse group of vendors providing core administrative solutions should compel healthcare payer organizations to make a fresh assessment of these vendors in consideration of their long-term technology and business strategies," says Janice Young, program manager, Health Industry Insights.
