SAS Health Solutions frequently asked questions
What are SAS Health Solutions?
SAS Health is an integrated suite of AI and analytics software designed to help healthcare organizations – including payers, providers and public health agencies – turn fragmented data into actionable clinical and operational insights. Built on the SAS Viya platform, it combines data management, governed AI and specialized health analytics to improve patient outcomes and optimize the cost of care.
How does SAS Health simplify the ingestion of EHR and claims data from different sources?
With SAS Health, you can unify disparate data sources, including Electronic Health Records (EHR) and medical claims. It natively supports industry standards such as HL7 FHIR R4, enabling organizations to bypass manual mapping and accelerate the transition to a unified longitudinal patient view.
Can nontechnical staff perform data discovery without knowing SQL or Python?
Yes. Through the SAS Viya Copilot, users can use natural-language search to ask complex questions about patient cohorts or operational trends. The AI-powered assistant translates these natural language queries into SQL, enabling nonclinical users to generate insights quickly without relying on IT resources.
How does SAS Health help payers and providers manage the total cost of care?
SAS Health Cost of Care Analytics provides a transparent "episodic engine" that groups clinically related services into defined episodes of care. This allows organizations to identify cost variations, attribute performance to specific providers and predict complication costs to optimize value-based payment models.
How does SAS ensure that AI models used in health care are unbiased and auditable?
Trust is central to SAS. The platform includes built-in bias monitoring and model explainability features. Every AI-driven insight provides a clear audit trail, ensuring that clinical and financial models are transparent, free from black-box logic and support regulatory compliance.
