Health Catalyst Inc (NASDAQ: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, announced it is going to be offering a comprehensive quality measures solution that combines its Data Operating System (DOS) with a scalable measures application designed to improve provider quality measurement.
This solution is focused on Able Health — which was acquired by Health Catalyst in February 2020 — and bolsters Health Catalyst’s existing Quality & Regulatory Measures capabilities to provide clients with one comprehensive quality performance system by combining complete data from DOS with complete measures, visualizations, and workflows (i.e., monitor, improve and submit to payers) into one product.
Focusing on quality performance is especially important as ever in a post-COVID-19 world. And Able Health supports high-quality outpatient care designed to prevent and control chronic conditions, including those that can lead to poor inpatient outcomes in COVID-19 patients when present or uncontrolled.
The Able Health application will be progressively integrated with DOS in various stages with full integration anticipated in early 2021. And the first phase of integration will focus primarily on making integrated claims and clinical data in DOS available to the Able Health measures engine and application.
Clients will be able to compute any of the hundreds of measures in Able Health’s catalog. And later stages of integration will focus on integrating computed measures with other applications in the DOS ecosystem.
Health Catalyst is known as a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations. And it is committed to being the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare improvement.
The company’s customers utilize the cloud-based data platform — which is powered by data from more than 100 million patient records and encompassing trillions of facts — as well as its analytics software and professional services expertise to make data-informed decisions and realize measurable clinical, financial, and operational improvements.
