Health Catalyst, a healthcare analytics, decision support, and outcomes improvement company, announced a multi-year agreement with Hospital Sisters Health System to implement the Health Catalyst Data Operating System (DOS).
Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) is a multi-institutional healthcare system that cares for patients in 14 communities in Illinois and Wisconsin including15 hospitals, scores of community-based health centers and clinics, nearly 2,300 physician partners, and more than 14,600 colleagues.
The Health Catalyst Data Operating System is a data-first, analytics and application platform that transforms raw data from virtually any data source into Deep Data—data that is meaningful, actionable, and provides actual business value at a lower cost. DOS accomplishes this by integrating and analyzing critical data from over 200 of the most widely-used data sources, and delivering real-time decision support within the existing workflows of clinicians, administrators and other healthcare professionals.
HSHS selected Health Catalyst after reviewing options to replace the care management application used by its Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and Physician Care Integration Network (PCIN).
Dr. Gensinger had been exploring opportunities to expand the analytics capabilities for HSHS, and realized PCIN’s immediate needs became HSHS opportunities as the full DOS platform was unveiled.
Hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing service, DOS will serve as a platform for HSHS’s analytical backbone. With built-in artificial intelligence, deep learning, pre-built machine learning models for common healthcare scenarios, and Big Data support, DOS enables users to predict the future and identify actionable steps to change it.
