Health Catalyst : An agile approach to healthcare data

How to get the most out of your investment in data with Health Catalyst Health Catalyst is quite literally a healthcare provider ’ s catalyst for change when it comes to their measurable , data-informed improvement in analytics , software and services .
Founded in 2008 in Salt Lake City , Utah , Health Catalyst enables health care organisations to build a healthcare -specific , open , flexible , and scalable data platform and fully integrated suite of analytics applications .
This enables health system partners , including Northwell Health in New York which serves a population of 11 million , to realise measurable value within months . “ Our customers have recognised the potential to use data , to improve their clinical , financial and operational business outcomes ,” said Mike Doyle , Chief Customer Officer .
Formed by a group of healthcare veterans - with a quest to develop a data warehouse that could handle the complexities unique to healthcare data - they discovered the solution now known as Adaptive Data Architecture . Today , Health Catalyst helps clinicians in more than 250 hospitals , caring for more than 100 million patients each year .

“ I think a key differentiator is our open platform that enables our clients to accelerate their own integration of data , but it is customisable , configurable in ways that make it unique . For example , during the pandemic our clients were able to put this healthcare-specific , flexible platform and fully integrated suite of analytics applications to use in ways we could never have predicted ,” said Doyle .
“ We ’ re very grateful for our partnership with Northwell Health and want to thank these visionary leaders who are able to envision a future using data that is light years beyond what we can think of today .”
