Introduction

Abstract

This IDC Health Insights report identifies the major trends in 2010 that will impact the healthcare payer business and technology strategies. The overarching themes for this year are, of course, healthcare reform, looming competitive and funding changes, and regulatory compliance. "In 2010, healthcare payers will continue to face a challenging market of competing priorities emanating from relentless cost challenges, new product initiatives, technology innovation, transparency mandates, state and federal regulatory environments, changing market and insurance model changes, and demand for greater overall market value. The most favorable technology solutions will improve the costs of technology acquisition and management; reduce corporate and program costs; and position the healthcare payer to retrieve, use, and disseminate information to produce changes in behavior at the point of interaction," states Janice Young, program manager, Health Industry Insights' Healthcare Payer research.
