Integrate & unlock trusted analytic insights faster

Integrate & unlock trusted analytic insights faster

  • Integrates health and non-health data sources, and prepares data for analytics. Manages data and analytic model lineage.
  • Explore, visualize and report insights from real world data sources.
  • Identify treatment pathways, gaps in care and barriers to reimbursement.
  • Gain support for formulary development, market access and clinical development.
  • Understand unmet needs in therapeutic areas, medical products or devices, and longitudinal effects of therapies on patients.
  • Access embedded advanced analytics and apply transparent AI and machine learning predictions with repeatable explanations of data, models and predictions that complement descriptive analytics and help you with confident decision-making, such as the anticipation of member/patient needs.
  • Creates transparent reports and unlocks analytic insights faster, such as disease prevalence within a population, patient outcomes or potentially avoidable care.
  • Includes techniques such as clustering, decision trees, linear regression, logistic regression, generalized linear models, generalized additive models and nonparametric logistic regressions.
  • Built-in bias monitoring and transparent explanations of data, models and predictions complement descriptive analytics and drive confident decision making, such as the anticipation of member/patient needs.

Low-code/no-code interface

Low-code/no-code interface

  • All users across your health organizations can access analytic insights via our low-code/no-code, graphic user interface.
  • Enables all users to participate and have analytic insights at their fingertips.

Interactive near-real-time cohort builder

Interactive, near real-time cohort builder

  • Build, visualize and analyze patient cohorts in an interactive, drag-and-drop interface.
  • Evaluate study feasibility using progressive, near-real-time patient counts and visualizations that show the effects of inclusion and exclusion criteria on the patient population.
  • Run complex queries that go beyond simple subsetting to selecting criteria with multiple temporal relationships and Boolean logic.

Enterprise-level episode builder

Enterprise-level episode builder

  • Enrich existing data sources by combining event output with traditional data sources for gaining insights.
  • Create customized episode definitions and associations for rapid time to value.
  • Generate new insights, such as provider attribution, financial implications of potentially avoidable complications, outlier studies and risk-adjusted cost comparisons based on trusted analytics.
  • Build retrospective and prospective bundled payments to identify savings, to identify financial and clinical risk, and to expose potentially avoidable complications.
  • Identify areas of improvement in patient care coordination.

Flexible deployment options & open-source integration
