Population Health Management Market Drivers in the UK

Population Health Management Market Drivers in the UK
Signify Research November 2017

• This white paper (6pp) examines the drivers for PHM deployment in the UK, one of the key markets that many of the US vendors are looking to as they expand their operations internationally and one of the larger PHM markets outside North America.
• It briefly describes:
• NHS IT Strategy - “to integrate services across health and care” is one of five priorities and the one that is the most relevant in terms of driving the PHM market in the UK. Greater alignment going forward with Five Year Forward View. 
• Five Year Forward View - a programme, first announced in 2014, to modernised healthcare provision in the NHS in England. A central vehicle in implementing the FYFV is the NHS Vanguards. 
• NHS Vanguards - integrated care partnerships developing new models of care. Nine Vanguards focusing on integrating primary and acute systems most relevant to PHM. 
• Global Digital Exemplars - 16 NHS acute providers that have been recognised for delivering exceptional care via the use of worldclass digital technology and information. A number have implemented PHM solutions. 
• Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) - 44 regional partnerships of providers across the care continuum building proposals with the aim to improve a whole population’s health 
• Accountable Care System (ACS) - based on the US Accountable Care Organisation (ACO) model, these are a subset of STPs that are highly evolved in terms of PHM strategy. Eight exist to date. A further eight will be announced in February 2018
