More employers increasingly will drop relationships with payers and instead contract directly with providers through accountable care organizations.
Employers will want to work with ACOs with the intent of focusing on the population health of their employees, according to a new study by Frost & Sullivan, a consulting and research firm.
The study, entitled Global Employee Health Management IT Market, suggests that under this new model, employee health management information technology (EHM IT) platforms will handle provider eligibility assessment, benefits cost management, employee enrollment to ACOs, ROI assessment and shared saving incentives.
