Discover your future in digital health analytics.

Drive trusted health innovations and unlock analytic insights faster for confident decisions at every moment.

Adopt an end-to-end solution for health data integration, management and analytics.

SAS Health is an end-to-end enterprise solution for data integration, data management, automation and analytics. Consolidate your data under a faster and more productive AI and analytic platform that operates across the entire analytics life cycle, helping you address complex health care topics faster and more effectively.

Facilitate secure, streamlined data access and regulatory compliance.

With SAS Health you can easily ingest data from industry-standard formats, and manage secure access to a variety of health care industry-specific data sources, applications and systems. Support regulatory compliance by creating optimized data models for analytics in one place.

Empower everyone with trusted analytic insights.

With SAS Health, all users across your health care organization and ecosystem can access analytic insights, whether they prefer to code or use a low-code/no-code interface. SAS Viya includes built-in bias monitoring and repeatable explanations of data, models and predictions, which gives you peace of mind for equitable health decisions. This enables you to make transparent, explainable and fair decisions in governed, regulated environments.

Visualize and analyze cohort data.

SAS Health Cohort Builder enables you to build, visualize and analyze patient cohorts and the effect of inclusion/exclusion criteria on patient populations in an interactive, drag-and-drop interface – no coding required. Easily identify population subsets, clinical events and associations to better understand the differences in health outcomes within a specific subpopulation. You can save cohort definitions for reuse, modify them and apply them to other real world data assets for comparisons across populations, saving time and resources. Validate results and do further analysis using in-memory analysis and visualization in SAS or other technologies (e.g., R, Python and third-party visualization tools).

Quickly assemble clinical/chronic events.

SAS Health Episode Builder puts the power to see – and edit – episode definitions in your hands. SAS applies fully documented logic to create episodes of care, and the logical business rules are transparent and auditable at any time. Instead of spending weeks to manually code events, your team can now focus on communicating results to analysts and clinicians.

Visualize and analyze trends in health data to optimize care and costs.

Interactive cohort and episode builders provide easy-to-use, point-and-click interfaces. This makes it easy to identify population subsets, clinical events and associations so you can better understand the differences in health outcomes within a provider network, clinical research or in the general population. Combined with embedded machine learning and AI, these capabilities deliver enhanced insights that you can align with your organizational strategy.

Efficiently adjust for risk and severity in population health or claims data.

SAS Health Episode Builder facilitates risk adjustment through repeatable and transparent processes. Built-in models help analytic leaders understand population-level cost drivers, comorbidities and expected outcomes for specific episodes of care. Financial analysis supports risk management professionals, as well as clinicians who want to optimize treatment pathways.
