EP172: The Convergence of Payers and Providers - A Critical Step Forward, Fraught With Challenges, With John Moore, CEO and Founder of Chilmark Research

John Moore, is CEO of the health care IT analyst firm, Chilmark Research, which he founded in 2007. Chilmark Research was founded on the simple premise of conducting the best research possible that will ultimately lead to improvements in the quality of care a patient receives. Having spent many years in other industry sectors, Moore has seen the dramatic improvements possible through effective adoption and use of IT and is convinced that the same can occur in health care.

A core thesis for Chilmark Research is to help guide the industry in specific subsectors of the health IT landscape by focusing on those technology domains that will be truly transformational to the delivery of care. Current areas of research include: analytics, care management and coordination, interoperability, population health management, engagement, and most recently provider-payer convergence.

Prior to founding Chilmark Research, Moore led a diverse worldwide team at Dassault Systèmes, based in Paris. As head of corporate, worldwide industry and market intelligence, he worked with the executive leadership to define key global market opportunities, forecast growth, and develop critical paths to market for its numerous software products.

Moore has held a number of other senior positions during his career including: SVP at analyst firm ARC Advisory Group; Research Associate at MIT; VP of Marketing for an analytical instrument company; and policy analyst for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. An accomplished speaker, Moore has made numerous presentations on current and future IT trends and their impact to markets. Widely quoted in numerous publications, he has also been interviewed by: AMA News, CIO, CNBC, Computerworld, eWeek, Health Data Management, HealthIT News, InformationWeek, Investors Business Daily, US News & World Report, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.
