By GlobalDataAccording to Health Catalyst, when compared with traditional ‘early-binding’ enterprise data warehouse soultions that typically require up to 18 months to start delivering value, the Late-Binding platform is said to provide tangible results in as little as three to four months.
At the hospital, the staff physicians will also make use of data from Health Catalyst to manage their patient populations.
The University of Kansas Hospital business intelligence director Chris Harper said: "Physicians as a rule always want to have more information about their patients and we are turning to this technology to democratize the use of data and analytics to further improve care across the hospital.
"We want our physicians to see gaps in recommended care, what interventions have been made, and what treatments are overdue or upcoming – all information that is vital to improving population health management."
Health Catalyst CEO Dan Burton said: "To thrive in our evolving value-based healthcare system, hospitals need to quickly make sense of and analyze the large volumes of data stored in their disparate systems, identify opportunities for quality improvement and cost savings, and then enable their caregivers to take appropriate action.
"We are thrilled that The University of Kansas Hospital, one of our nation’s top hospitals, has chosen Health Catalyst to help them advance the science and process of quality and performance improvement."
Health Catalyst’s data warehousing and analytics solution has been designed to normalise disparate data sources and enable rich meta data management that facilitates data access, discovery, analysis and reporting.
The solution also meets the need for clinical analysis of near-real time information to track and improve care for whole populations of patients.
