Lives and Dollars Saved Through Outcomes Improvement

Contributing both to the company's sense of mission and its strong sales performance, existing Health Catalyst customers have substantiated hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings, as well as life-saving quality improvements through their use of the company's Late Binding™ Data Warehousing and Analytics platform. The platform incorporates data from disparate sources across the care continuum – electronic health records (EHR), clinical and financial systems, payer systems, and other external systems – and supports multi-disciplinary teams in evaluating, comparing and improving clinical, financial and operational performance across their networks.

In recent months, noteworthy outcome improvements that added to the company's 73 documented customer success stories included:

• $125 million saved in one year. Allina Health is a $3.7 billion not-for-profit organization whose more than 90 clinics, 12 hospitals and related healthcare services provide care for nearly 1 million people across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Allina's data-driven performance improvement effort in 2015 yielded a strong bottom line including $43 million in productivity improvements and $30 million saved by reducing clinical variation. 
• Sepsis deaths cut to half the national average.Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, an award-winning 177-bed community hospital near New Orleans, leveraged best-practice care protocols and advanced analytics and a new approach to engage clinicians to reduce sepsis mortality by 18 percent in just six months, to less than half the national average. Thibodaux also reduced average variable cost per sepsis patient by 7.3 percent, lowered their length of stay by 1 day, and increased sepsis patient satisfaction by 7 percent to reach the 93^rd percentile, nationally.
• Better care delivery for the riskiest pediatric diabetes patients. Houston-based Texas Children's Hospital, the nation's largest pediatric facility, used analytics and education to drive better care for children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complex and serious complication of diabetes.  Changes included assigning 81 percent of DKA patients to a diabetic care unit and core diabetic nurse (CDN); a 17 percent relative increase in DKA patients receiving an evidence-based evaluation and order sets; a 19 percent relative increase in DKA patients receiving IV insulin within one hour of order; and a 33 percent relative decrease in length of stay for DKA patients.
• 16 percent fewer pneumonia deaths. MultiCare Health System, one of Washington state's largest not-for-profit health systems with five hospitals and 130 locations, used Health Catalyst's pneumonia application combined with a team of clinical and analytics experts to drive a 16 percent reduction in the pneumonia mortality (compared to a 1.7% improvement in pneumonia mortality within the National Top Quartile of U.S. hospitals during the same period); a 24 percent reduction in pneumonia readmissions (compared to a 2 percent reduction in pneumonia readmissions for the National Top Quartile); and a 2 percent decrease in length-of-stay for pneumonia patients.
