An expanding retail marketplace means that there are more opportunities for health plans to develop innovative strategies to reach consumers that are entering the market space for the first time. It is essential for health plans to not only engage these consumers but also to assist them in making good healthcare decisions.
An expanding retail marketplace means that there are more opportunities for health plans to develop innovative strategies to reach consumers that are entering the market space for the first time. It is essential for health plans to not only engage these consumers but also to assist them in making good healthcare decisions. On Tuesday, Juan-Pierre Stephan, senior executive, Health CRM, Accenture, spoke about approaches and barriers to effective patient engagement.
The data-heavy presentation began with a number of statistics, including the following:
Accenture initiated studies to determine what exactly all of these statistics could mean for the marketplace. The results provided 4 insights that are key to the success of health insurers:
Part of the problem insurers now face in this evolving landscape is the fact that consumers often define themselves into segments differently than their insurers do. Many insurers use antiquated techniques to segment their populations, and this needs to change in order to succeed in a much different and constantly changing landscape. Unfortunately, Mr. Stephan said, change needs to come from the top. Barriers like fragmented project implementations and a lack of enterprise sponsorship can deter organizations from enacting change that could lead to success in a new marketplace. Additionally, said Mr. Stephan, the influence of employee engagement as a catalyst for change is vastly undervalued at many organizations. However, it is not too late to enact company-wide transformations. If organizations are able to break down the silos, identify core competencies, and align incentives (both internally and externally), they stand to enjoy early and continued success in a highly competitive market.
