It's become a well-worn truism, but is no less true for its repetition: the future of U.S. healthcare will be a data-driven one. What's more, the unfolding of the global COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. has heightened the awareness of and need for powerful data analytics in patient care organizations, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools, and predictive analytics, to help patient care organization leaders move forward effectively. The leaders of all the progressive hospitals, medical groups, and health systems already know this-and are acting on that awareness. Take, for example, the leaders of CareMount Medical, a Mount Kisco-based multispecialty group that serves the Hudson Valley in New York state, and that recently expanded into New York City. Not only are the physicians (500 physicians, 650 providers overall) at CareMount involved in their third year of participating in Medicare's Next Generation ACO (accountable care organization) Program; they also have Medicare Advantage contracts with four different commercial health plans.
