Tackling US Health Plan Challenges with Advanced Analytics

 The US health care landscape is transforming rapidly, fueled by continued rising 

medical costs, economic instability and the pressures of the health care reform 

law. In the midst of this explosive change, health insurance plans face tremendous 

challenges and opportunities, many of which may require them to transform 

the way they do business. Ultimately, the future of individual health plans – and 

potentially the US health insurance industry as a whole – will be determined by how nimbly and effectively they are able to address these challenges.
