The population health market is seeing some satisfied customers. Seventy percent of providers report tangible benefits to patient care when using certain population health vendors, according to a report published by KLAS, a global research firm.   

KLAS interviewed 203 providers at 173 organizations to determine which vendors are effectively driving outcomes and where the needle is when it comes to providing better patient care and reducing costs. The vendors assessed include the Advisory Board, Alere, Allscripts, athenahealth, Caradigm, Cerner, Conifer Health Solutions, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Evolent, Explorys, Forward Health Group, Healthagen, Health Catalyst, i2i Systems, Kryptiq, Lumeris, McKesson, Medecision, NextGen Healthcare, Optum, Phytel, Premier, Siemens, Valence, Verisk Health, Wellcentive and xG Health.

"Providers are starting to recognize the tangible benefits of population health efforts," said report author Mark Allphin in a statement. With all of the focus on this segment, providers are asking which vendors are best positioned to help them realize those benefits. This report was an effort to answer that question."
