Centene Acquires Apixio in Bid To Improve Data Analytics
Centene Corp. on Nov. 9 said it will acquire health care analytics company Apixio Inc., a move that industry insiders say will help the insurer leverage electronic health record (EHR) and population health data. That strategy, they suggest, is especially important with the industrywide implementation of EHR interoperability regulations, which will release a flood of patient data.
In a Nov. 9 investor note, Citi analyst Ralph Giacobbe cited the increasing importance of analytics in managed care.
