Health Catalyst, a next-generation data, analytics, and decision support company, announced completion of its acquisition of Medicity, a large population health management company with solutions for health information exchange (HIE), business intelligence, and provider and patient engagement.
Medicity adds to the Health Catalyst customer base more than 100 clients including 21 state and regional HIEs, large employers, health plans, 75 health systems encompassing over 1,000 hospitals, and more than 185,000 providers in physician groups and extended care facilities, in support of over 75 million patients. The combined company is positioned to solve many of the most pressing problems of large healthcare delivery networks as they seek to improve the quality and lower the cost of patient care across communities.
The acquisition combines Medicity’s deep clinical dataset of over 75 million patients and significant transactional capabilities with Health Catalyst’s Data Operating System (DOS) including AI-driven analytics and business intelligence, and a broad set of financial, cost, patient outcomes, and supply chain data from over 400 hospitals, 4,000 clinics and a data set of over 100 million patients nationwide. The combination will empower connected communities with the insights required to improve healthcare outcomes, control costs, and advance population health management.
The integration of Medicity expands the capabilities of the Health Catalyst Data Operating System, which will now have the ability to receive and analyze data in real time, and then embed the resulting insights into the workflow of Electronic Health Records. The combined companies will also have a compelling solution for, and expertise in, the loosely affiliated community ambulatory care management space. These organizations, primarily independent physician groups, are in need of a simple means of integrating data between EHRs at the patient encounter level, with enough clinical quality analytics to meet the legal requirements of a Clinically Integrated Network.
