Next-gen Patient and Member Experience: A Healthcare CX State of the Market
June 30, 2025In today’s dynamic healthcare landscape, Patient and Member Engagement (PME) has become a strategic imperative for healthcare enterprises and service and platform providers. Historically overlooked and limited to administrative touchpoints, PME has evolved into a mission-critical function that impacts patient/member satisfaction and business outcomes, such as retention, medication adherence, care outcomes, and cost improvements. Rising expectations, omnichannel demand, regulatory pressures, and advanced technology have accelerated the transition toward seamless, intelligent, and personalized engagement across the care journey. In this report, we analyze the PME’s evolving role in healthcare and its significance in driving better outcomes. The report assesses key adoption trends, identifies technology and organizational accelerators, and highlights the barriers that limit PME’s scaling across the industry. Focusing on real-world enterprise priorities, the report outlines how healthcare organizations are using gen AI, predictive analytics, and agentic AI to enable self-service, deliver personalized communication, and proactively retain members and patients. Additionally, the report examines the emergence of Systems of Execution (SoE) and their potential to unify data, drive AI-led engagement, and convert insights into real-time execution across touchpoints. It also provides sourcing guidance and strategic recommendations for payers and providers, emphasizing the need for a PME lead to drive enterprise alignment and measure experience success.

June 12, 2025As healthcare continues its transition to value-based, patient and member-centric care models, CIOs are increasingly under pressure to deliver seamless, proactive, and personalized experiences across the care continuum. Traditional Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms digitize communications but fall short in orchestrating real-time, intelligent engagement. The result is often fragmented experiences, high patient churn, inefficient workflows, and unmet member expectations. To address these limitations, healthcare enterprises are turning to Systems of Execution (SoE) – intelligent platform layers that go beyond passive data repositories to drive real-time decisioning and workflow automation across clinical and administrative functions. SoE represent the next evolution of CRM, which makes it capable of orchestrating adaptive, AI-driven engagement journeys that respond dynamically to clinical risk signals, social determinants of health, and benefit changes. In this Viewpoint, we explore SoE’s transformative potential across healthcare CRM by highlighting real-world use cases that improve care coordination, automate workflows, and elevate patient and member engagement.. Scope Industry: healthcare Geography: global Contents In this report, we explore: SoE’s role in transforming patient and member engagement across healthcare organizations A detailed roadmap for healthcare CIOs to implement SoE effectively, including foundational enablers such as unified data fabrics, AI-powered decision engines, and adaptive workflows A three-stage SoE maturity model with illustrative use cases and implementation best practices for each stage Strategic guidance to align CRM modernization with value-based care goals to improve engagement, care coordination, and operational efficiency

June 04, 2025Healthcare enterprises are increasingly recognizing the strategic value of Data, Analytics, and AI (DAAI) as data-driven decision-making becomes central to achieving business and clinical outcomes. While DAAI initiatives have traditionally focused on cost containment and operational efficiencies, there is now a clear shift toward enhancing patient experiences and driving improved health outcomes. This evolving focus is prompting organizations to invest in robust data integration capabilities and advanced analytics, with particular emphasis on data privacy, value-based care, and population health management. Although payers have historically led DAAI adoption, providers are rapidly advancing their capabilities. They are essential in shaping enterprise DAAI strategies and roadmaps, modernizing infrastructure, and delivering actionable insights that support high-impact decision-making. As a result, healthcare organizations are realizing measurable improvements in performance, care delivery, and patient engagement. In this report, we assess 32 healthcare DAAI providers featured on the Healthcare Data, Analytics, and AI Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025. The report analyzes the healthcare DAAI services market size, DAAI service themes for healthcare enterprises, and providers’ capabilities and market success.

Navigating Value-based Care (VBC) amid AI and Economic Uncertainty for Healthcare Providers
May 08, 2025The shift from fee-for-service to Value-based Care (VBC) is increasing due to payer mandates and the long-term promise of improved outcomes and lower costs. However, this transformation is unfolding amid economic uncertainty, tariff-driven inflation, and healthcare provider financial strain. Several hospitals lack the capital, operational agility, or data integration required to scale VBC adoption effectively. As Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) expands its adoption through the Alternative Payment Model (APM) framework, healthcare providers struggle to align limited resources with long-term strategic goals. To succeed in this evolving environment, healthcare organizations must invest in automation, analytics, and AI-enabled tools that improve financial and clinical performance. Agentic AI offers the potential to ease documentation burdens, close care gaps, and support compliance in a fragmented data ecosystem. In this report, we highlight how the emerging divide in the VBC landscape, shaped by resource availability, risks exacerbating disparities in care quality and organizational resilience. The report offers actionable strategies to navigate payer demands, optimize contracts, and realign RCM provider partnerships to support value-based models. Scope Industry: healthcare Geography: North America Contents In this report, we: Simply the VBC concept Evaluate systemic barriers slowing VBC adoption Assess VBC adoption trends in the future Analyze the healthcare provider strategy blueprint for VBC’s success
