Population Health Management 2024
01 October 24    |   Andy Paulsen and Benjamin Cassity
In recent years, purchasing energy in the population health management (PHM) market has cooled among large acute care organizations—only 10% of interviewed organizations report a recent or in-progress PHM purchase decision. This trend is largely the result of healthcare organizations deprioritizing initial investments in new solutions and instead focusing on cost reduction and improved ROI through vendor consolidation, better data access and utilization, and improved functionality that supports value-based initiatives (i.e., care management, whole-person care, downside risk contracts). Physician-led ACOs don’t always face the same challenges as large acute care organizations (the majority of the sample included in this data set), so they may make decisions differently. With fewer decisions being made for acute care organizations, there is greater pressure on vendors to more thoroughly prove their platform’s capabilities during the RFP process. To help healthcare organizations navigate purchasing decisions in this market, this report draws from 40 purchase decisions validated by KLAS between July 2022 and June 2024 to examine (1) which vendors’ customer bases are growing, being maintained, or decreasing amid market shifts and (2) which factors contribute to current buying energy. Satisfaction data from current customers is also included.

Hospice 2024
01 October 24    |   Paul Hess and Paul Warburton
Across the market, hospice agencies are frustrated that their HIT vendors aren’t prioritizing hospice care as they should, leading to low customer satisfaction that has continually decreased over time for most vendors. While several vendors have recently tried to address long-standing concerns through acquisitions or further development of their hospice product, most respondents want more to be done to allow for strong hospice care. To aid agencies in finding the best solution for their needs in a low-performing market, this report—an update to the Hospice 2023 report —examines which vendors best provide hospice-specific workflows, meet expectations for innovation and development, and support broad functionality through integration.

Home Health 2024
27 February 24    |   Paul Hess and Paul Warburton
Over the last few years, the home health market has undergone extensive changes following mergers and acquisitions, fluctuating regulatory requirements, and shifts in the workforce. As a result, user frustration around home health solutions has increased, and home health agencies have sought greater collaboration, development, and automation from their vendors, with some customers even reconsidering their current investments. Through a look at current market share, recent purchase decisions, and customer satisfaction, this report examines which home health vendors are best meeting provider needs, developing functionality, and driving value for customers.

Population Health Vendor Overview 2023
15 June 23    |   Andy Paulsen and Bradley Hunter
As more healthcare organizations start to leverage population health management (PHM) technology in their journey toward offering value-based care, they are sometimes uncertain about how well vendors can fulfill their unique needs, as PHM programs vary in breadth and complexity. This report—a follow-up to KLAS’ 2021 report —provides an overview of several PHM offerings to help readers understand (1) what types of organizations typically use the solutions, (2) what the customer experience is like, (3) which solutions see the most market energy and why, (4) which vendors facilitate value-based contract revenue, and (5) how broadly PHM capabilities are adopted. Note: Although there are six PHM pillars, one pillar—patient engagement—is not covered in this report (view the KLAS website for more information on this pillar).

Transitions of Care 2022
29 December 22    |   Bradley Hunter and Paul Warburton
Inefficient care transitions lead to wasted time and energy, increased risk of human error, and potentially poor experiences for both patients and providers. Despite the industry’s attempts to ensure the right information is sent to the right people at the right time, healthcare organizations must often revert to manual processes for data entry, verification, and communication. Some organizations use or want to use technology to streamline their transitions of care (TOC). This report—KLAS’ first to look at TOC—draws from the perspectives of 95 healthcare leaders across multiple care settings to understand their adoption of care transition technology, the challenges they encounter in their care settings, and the vendors they are considering.

Facility-Based Post–Acute Care 2022
10 November 22    |   Cimone Smith and Paul Hess
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a wave of challenges to facility-based post–acute care organizations (i.e., SNFs, LTCHs, and IRFs). Staffing has become a particular pain point, with organizations citing burnout, increased competition with staffing firms, and intensive patient care for severe COVID-19 cases as contributing factors. To help organizations understand how peers are approaching the current environment, KLAS interviewed 82 leaders from facility-based post–acute care organizations regarding the top challenges they face and the technology vendors they use or have considered investing in to address these challenges.

The homecare market has surged as healthcare organizations have sought to maintain quality patient care throughout the pandemic and fulfill requirements for value-based reimbursement. Organizations are looking to expand their homecare offerings; however, the pandemic has exacerbated staffing shortages and decreased bandwidth, making operations—let alone growth—difficult. To help organizations understand how peers are approaching the current environment, KLAS interviewed 88 leaders from home-based care organizations regarding the top challenges they face and the technology vendors they use or have considered investing in to address these challenges.
