7 Trends Driving Change in Healthcare: Vicerion Corp Perspective
By Shawna Koch Bronski RN, MBA
Overview:
Healthcare is undergoing dramatic transformation, propelled by evolving regulations, shifting consumer expectations, and the demands of digitization. At Vicerion Corp, we see seven converging trends accelerating innovation—and we’ve built tools like Zero-In EMPI, Rock Paper & Scissors, Checkmate, and Pro-Mapper to address these needs head-on.
Trend 1: The Ecosystem is Becoming Patient-Centric
Healthcare systems are moving beyond siloed care delivery toward integrated, patient-first ecosystems. Health plans and provider networks are rethinking engagement models that account for social determinants of health (SDOH), real-time data exchange, and whole-person care.
Example:
An East Coast academic medical center uses Vicerion’s Checkmate SMART on FHIR App to unify behavioral health, primary care, and lab diagnostics into a single digital patient experience.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Checkmate: Seamless access to integrated records
- Zero-In EMPI: High-precision reduplication and correct patient matching
Trend 2: Regulation is Pushing Digital Transparency
Federal mandates (21st Century Cures Act, CMS Interoperability Rules, TEFCA) are transferring control of health data from organizations to patients.
Example:
A multi-state Medicaid managed care org uses Rock Paper & Scissors to comply with CMS APIs and deliver consumer-friendly data via mobile.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Rock Paper & Scissors: FHIR-native, USCDI-compliant data repository
- Pro-Mapper: Translates legacy data into FHIR APIs
Trend 3: The Avalanche of Consumer Data Must Be Managed Intelligently
Wearables, digital platforms, and telehealth generate complex data that must be accurate, compliant, and valuable.
Example:
A Midwest HIE used Zero-In EMPI to resolve duplicate records across sources, improving data quality by 30% and patient satisfaction by 15%.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Zero-In EMPI: Identity matching across decentralized data
- Pro-Mapper: Automated harmonization of consumer-generated data
Trend 4: COVID Accelerated Digital-First Care Models
The pandemic advanced telehealth and digital care adoption. Health systems are scaling hybrid care plans.
Example:
A Texas payer-provider used Checkmate for digital intake, triage, and follow-up—cutting re admissions by 18%.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Checkmate: Digital-first care orchestration
- Rock Paper & Scissors: API-driven integrations
Trend 5: Business Transformation is Redefining Care and Cost Models
The shift from fee-for-service to value-based care demands agile infrastructure and data management.
Example:
A rural ACO modernized data architecture using Rock Paper & Scissors and Pro-Mapper, reducing ETL overhead by 60%.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Rock Paper & Scissors: Scalable, reliable data platform
- Pro-Mapper: Rapid partner on-boarding
Trend 6: Equity and Access are Now Strategic Imperatives
Equity is core to value-based care, funding, and public accountability.
Example:
A California safety-net hospital stratified risk using SDOH data via Rock Paper & Scissors and identity resolution with Zero-In EMPI.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Rock Paper & Scissors: Integrates SDOH/community health data
- Zero-In EMPI: Unified identity records for vulnerable populations
Trend 7: FemTech and Personalized Women’s Health are Gaining Ground
FemTech is personalizing women’s health (e.g., PCOS, menopause, heart health).
Example:
A NY women’s clinic used Checkmate for chronic care plans and Pro-Mapper for data aggregation.
Vicerion Solutions:
- Checkmate: Tracks female-specific conditions
- Pro-Mapper: Harmonizes device/app/lab data
