Medecision Named to the 2017 IDC Health Insights HealthTech Rankings Top 50

WAYNE, Pa., Aug. 14, 2017 -- Medecision announced it has been ranked #47 on the 2017 IDC Health Insights HealthTech Rankings Top 50. The annual vendor ranking features the leading global information technology (IT) suppliers that derive more than one-third of their revenue from healthcare payer and/or provider institutions.

“We’re on a mission to improve care, cost and patient experience for the populations that need it most, which can only be achieved when payers, providers and patients are aligned with interoperable data and systems that connect care decisions and engage consumers and their care teams,” said Deborah M. Gage, Medecision’s CEO and president. “The continued recognition from IDC Health Insights is a tremendous honor, proving the effectiveness of Medecision’s population health management framework, which helps organizations gain better alignment, make sense of their data, target meaningful opportunities to identify, intervene and engage in risk-bearing arrangements, and monitor quality and performance.”

For more than 50 years, IDC has collected and analyzed IT industry data to provide insight and guidance. IDC Health Insights systematically collects global healthcare IT revenue information and tracks the growth of the largest industry IT vendors in an effort to help both end users and IT suppliers make the most strategic decisions for their institutions. The data is analyzed by IDC Health Insights analysts that use their understanding of global trends and industry activities to create meaningful rankings. IDC analysts also put the information in the context of industry trends for the benefit of both the institutions that buy technology, as well as the companies that provide IT solutions to the industry.

The breadth and depth of IDC Health Insights' industry expertise differentiates IDC Health Insights’ HealthTech Rankings program. This understanding helps provide client institutions—payers, providers and other healthcare organizations—with the insight they need to drive strategic IT investment decisions.

"In 2017, Medecision entered the Top 50 for the first time," said Lynne Dunbrack, research vice president for IDC Health Insights. "As documented in the last several years by IDC Health Insights in various publications, Medecision has successfully moved from its traditional market in payer-based care management into the provider market with its population health offering."
