Spotlighting Pandemic-Related Challenges, Data-Driven Solutions for Payers
On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we address how delays in routine care and other aspects of the pandemic are affecting payer organizations today, and how technology innovations like natural language processing can work to empower key initiatives in population health and beyond.
