Increased pressure on health plans to control healthcare costs and maintain quality is translating into a need for greater visibility into provider service delivery and member experience. The evolution towards consumerism is also driving a push for increased transparency of actionable provider information to members. Such trends have made the management of the provider relationship lifecycle a strategic imperative.
