Drew C. Boston’s Post

•Personal care services is the fastest growing job •Silver Tsunami of aging will bring even more demand •Both technology and workforce matching ecosystems can solve this but a payment mechanism is still needed

•”On a related note, the change in dietary habits, specifically the increase in consumption of ultraprocessed food, and sedentary lifestyles also are associated with higher cancer rates. Others speculate that there may be environmental factors at play, such as carcinogens released into the air, water and food supplies” •While much is going into treatment, and progress is being introduced in earlier diagnosis, the opportunity is in prevention •The food / water and other environmental factors are surely driving material increases in carcinogens

•While prescription drug cost has become a political talking point, material innovations in therapies are coming to market •As an example, #weightloss loss may not have been covered but now #chf and other heart impact use cases are being considered, further expanding patient cohorts and the overall volume •What’s most impactful are high cost emerging therapies (eg #Melanoma, #Alzheimer’s) with few funding mechanims in place that will effectively be used like managing a chronic disease

•Excited for the introduction of the Apixio Health Data Nexus, on the Connected Care Platform •At the intersection of payers and providers, Data Management is a broader market opportunity where the usage of structured / unstructured data and #ai can impact large value levers •Onward!

•While some use AI as a “bug light” of distraction, core infrastructure systems are being under invested •Looming around the corner is a layer of technical debt that is already hindering enterprise growth goals •Legacy systems need to be optimized, applications rationalized and core systems invested in (eg cyber)

•#Wellsky partners with Tango •Accelerating Post Acute Care Benefit Managment •With this first-of-its-kind collaboration, health plans will be better enabled to drive improved outcomes and patient and provider experience through a next generation value-based program across acute, post-acute, and home settings

•Medicare Advantage market is about to change •Almost all are seeing slowed membership growth •Would expect some other meaningful plans to also sell
