The document discusses how changing expectations, new technologies, and other drivers are transforming the healthcare industry towards population health management. These drivers include an aging population with more chronic diseases, increased regulations and competition, and skills and resource shortages. Technology is also driving change through increased mobile access, need for fast innovation, and growing data complexity. The transition is from reactive, volume-based care to proactive, value-based care aimed at improved health outcomes, better care, and reduced costs by managing populations through analytics of diverse healthcare data sources.

3. Demographics and Lifestyle
• Expectations for better quality, value and outcomes
• Aging population and escalating incidence of chronic disease
Increased Competition and Regulations
• More regulations and compliance requirements
• Technology enabled new competition
Resource Shortages
• Shortage of right skills, capabilities and supplies
• Shortage of consumer and provider based services

“There is nothing more important [in healthcare] than the
transition from traditional medicine to population health and
the implications that will have. No outcome, no income.”
