With strengthened provider data sharing employed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and new interoperability standards applied, 95% of all survey respondents in Q1 2022 expect an increase in related data expenses for health systems and integration problems with vendors. Less than 4% of all respondents foresee any governmental incentives for providers that actively participate in the information-blocking rule fixes in the next calendar year.
The shift to value-based care models has noticeably decelerated due to the financial weight of the pandemic according to 82% of inpatient providers, 72% of physician respondents, as well as 53% of payers. However, a steep increase in provider participation in population health management monitoring and the need for patient data collaboration among care teams has added to the growth of EHR-based PHM solutions for those capable of producing actionable data, according to 60% of health systems.
