Introducing the Health Catalyst Population Health Foundations Solution: A Data- and Analytics-first Approach to PHM

As healthcare costs continue to soar, organizations ranging from health systems to large employers increasingly assume a greater share of the financial risk for managing the health of populations. Most of these organizations, however, struggle to attain the optimum balance of high-quality care and cost containment—the building blocks of success in the new world of value-based care (VBC).

Population Health Foundations Solution Delivers Real Results

With its industry-leading data- and analytics-first approach, Health Catalyst® delivers real population health success by drawing on a wealth of data sources, domain knowledge, and adaptable tools and applications to lay the groundwork for a modern, data-enabled, digital healthcare system that is equipped to take on risk for the populations it serves. This approach is designed to accommodate the full breadth and complexity of an organization’s population health needs today—and to allow organizations to adapt and evolve their data and analytics investments to meet emerging needs in the decades to come.

The Population Health Foundations solution draws on integrated claims and clinical data, and provides essential, extensible tools and machine-learning capabilities for optimizing results in value-based risk arrangements. Accompanying solution services ensure that the strategic value of data is maximized to improve performance in risk contracts— and provide side-by-side subject matter expert partnership for establishing short- and long-term goals for population health management.

As organizations target specific improvement opportunities and grow in their ability to respond to the unique needs of their populations, the Population Health Foundations solution provides a solid basis of data and analytics on which to build with additional Health Catalyst technology in the future.

With a flexible starter set that organizations can build on based on their needs, the solution compensates for the known failures of “black box” population health applications that, by not revealing the “why” of analytics insights, exacerbate the challenges of transforming quality, cost, and care delivery.

Three Common Problems Population Health Foundations Solution Solves

1. A limited view across the patient care continuum: Population health and risk-bearing models present a more challenging set of use cases than traditional fee-for-service models, requiring data aggregation, data enhancement, and data analysis. Many point solutions lack these capabilities. The Population Health Foundations solution aggregates both claims and clinical data to enable population stratification, registry creation, and performance monitoring across multiple care settings, with advanced dashboard functionality.
2. Singular point solutions: Healthcare is rapidly evolving. Organizations need to make investments that leave them open to future technologies and strategies that can accommodate the inevitable need for data integration and the specific insight their current circumstances require. The Population Health Foundations solution acts as an analytics starter set, upon which an organization can add additional relevant tools in a modular capacity, and over time, as their needs evolve. Gaps in HCC coding? Patient safety needs? Desire to identify clinical variation in congestive heart failure management? The solution is a foundation for organizations to build on based on their dynamic opportunities and goals.
3. Gaps in domain expertise:一项有效的人口健康管理战略需要跨多个VBC类别的领域专业知识，包括临床和索赔机会分析和优先排序、政府和商业付款人的参与和合同管理以及自我保险的雇主成本控制。世界杯葡萄牙vs加纳即时走地Health Catalyst拥有一批实力雄厚的团队成员，他们曾领导过aco、CINs和雇主赞助的计划，可以为在这些领域存在差距的组织提供服务和战略支持。
