The healthcare landscape of 2025 presents unprecedented challenges. By 2050, one in four people in North America will be over 65, driving demand for systems that can manage complex, long-term care. Meanwhile, rising patient expectations, financial pressures, regulatory complexity, and the shift toward value-based care are transforming how healthcare organizations operate.
Health system leaders increasingly turn to enterprise software solutions to navigate these complexities. At Virsys12, we’ve witnessed firsthand how provider network intelligence platforms are helping payers and providers overcome critical challenges while creating pathways to innovation and efficiency.
There is more to healthcare provider data management than implementing and using a credentialing system. This is just one piece of the puzzle.
Critical Healthcare Challenges in 2025
1. Financial Pressures and Cost Management
Healthcare costs continue to soar, driven by inflation, advanced medical technologies, and increasing chronic disease prevalence. Health plans and health systems face pressure to reduce administrative expenses while maintaining quality care. Our V12 Network and V12 Provider Data Engine solutions directly address this challenge. By automating manual processes related to provider data, provider credentialing and all provider lifecycle workflows, most organizations are able to reduce administrative costs by 40-50%.
2. Fragmented Data and Interoperability
Data fragmentation remains a significant issue across healthcare. The lack of seamless integration between disparate systems results in inefficient information exchange and compromised access to care.
Virsys12’s provider network intelligence platform solves this through real-time API integrations within the product and the companion product V12 Data Exchange. With primary data sources like CAQH, NPPES, and other industry-leading provider data sources, our solutions maintain a single source of truth for updated provider data. Thus, eliminating erroneous provider data and optimizing provider credentialing workflow processes – ultimately improving accuracy.
3. Regulatory and Policy Changes
Regulatory changes continue to pressure health plan leaders. The implementation of new transparency requirements and anti-competition policies adds layers of complexity to provider network management. The regulatory timeframes required to credential a new practitioner, provider group, or facility is shrinking in most states. Utilizing V12 Rosters, our customers have the flexibility to easily import delegated rosters, and other provider data sources, in a roster format with drag and drop field level data mapping.
V12 Network’s automated workflow processes and compliance features ensure that organizations stay ahead of regulatory requirements. The platform continuously tracks provider credentials, changes in provider data, and network adequacy, automatically flagging issues before they become compliance problems. Additionally, the built in FHIR interfaces for output of the provider directory is available to meet regulatory compliance issues with provider data.
4. Labor Shortage
The healthcare sector faces a critical labor shortage affecting clinical and administrative staff. Health systems must balance adequate staffing with effective cost management. Why rely on manual work when an intelligent provider data solution can accomplish in minutes what would otherwise take hours?
Our automation solutions dramatically reduce manual effort in provider management, allowing organizations to reallocate staff to higher-value activities. Our customers typically reduce manual verification tasks by 75% while improving accuracy and provider satisfaction.
5. Patient-Consumer Expectations
Rising consumerism in healthcare drives demand for transparency, convenience, and personalized care.
Our intelligent provider lifecycle management and data solutions ensure patients have accurate information about in-network providers. Thus, reducing frustration and improving the member experience. Internally, health plans gain real-time visibility into network adequacy and access issues, enabling proactive management.
