SALT LAKE CITY, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst,"Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced the launch of Health Catalyst Ignite^®, a next-generation healthcare data and analytics ecosystem that combines best-in-class technologies, healthcare-specific data models, self-service tools, and industry expertise in one modern environment.

Today's health systems face significant challenges in navigating a path to clinical, operational, and financial success. Rigid, legacy technologies, labor-intensive data collection and aggregation, inaccessible data, immense financial pressures, and staggering amounts of healthcare data. A dynamic healthcare environment requires a dynamic solution. Health Catalyst Ignite is built on the fusion of top-tier technologies and tailored to the unique needs of healthcare. With enhanced transparency and control over data management, organizations move from inefficient, retrospective analysis to predictive insights and beyond, leveraging machine learning and AI.

Commenting on the announcement, TJ Elbert, Health Catalyst's Chief Data Officer and General Manager of the Data Platform Business Unit, said, "With the launch of Ignite, Health Catalyst aims to transform the end-user experience and reduce costs and time-to-value related to fundamental data management and data governance tasks that often hamper clinical, operational, and financial improvement initiatives. Today's healthcare organizations want seamless integration and workflows and more control over their destiny. I am confident that Ignite's modern, flexible, cloud-based environment can deliver on this opportunity."

Health Catalyst Ignite enables data sharing where it resides rather than creating duplicate copies. Ignite quickly ingests data, centralizing data governance, democratizing analytics and insights, and significantly reducing storage and management costs while providing widespread access to refined healthcare data. For healthcare organizations, this means better decision-making, faster insights, and best-value technology; here's how:
