HealthVerity announces taXonomy Pathways: Closing evidence gaps with the most comprehensive patient journeys

Built to reveal more unique features per therapeutic area by connecting the nation's largest closed claims universe with lab results and EHR, including physician notes

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthVerity, the leader in real-world data (RWD) technologies and privacy-compliant data exchange, today announced the launch of taXonomy Pathways, a groundbreaking framework that unites closed payer claims, lab results and electronic health records (EHR), including physician notes into research-ready therapeutic area-specific datasets designed to close critical evidence gaps across life sciences, payers, government and consulting partners.

Therapeutic areas from taXonomy Pathways are anchored by the nation's largest source of closed payer claims, spanning hundreds of payers, nine years of adjudicated history and more than 300 million patients across all pay types. The acclaimed taXonomy data model synthesizes multi-payer medical and pharmacy claims and eligibility into a streamlined relational dataset that enables efficient ingestion and onboarding. Teams are able to get up to speed quickly and translate study protocols to valuable analysis . Further innovation comes from expanding beyond claims into novel patient features that are only available from lab results and EHR, including physician notes, that fundamentally enrich the patient journey.

In diabetes and obesity cohorts, repeated measures such as BMI, HbA1c, weight, blood pressure and lipid panels provide a comprehensive view of disease progression and treatment response. For heart failure, echocardiogram‑derived left‑ventricular ejection fraction and cardiovascular labs illuminate cardiac function, guideline‑directed therapy uptake and hospitalisation risk. In oncology, lab results confirm diagnosis and provide prognostic insight essential for precision medicine, while for neurology and rare diseases, structured EMR and clinical notes reveal symptom‑level detail, adverse events and real‑world outcomes that claims cannot capture.

"With taXonomy Pathways, we are simplifying the assembly of longitudinal patient journeys of patients" said Andrew Kress, CEO of HealthVerity. "Now, researchers can seamlessly access claims, EHR, labs and clinical notes in a single, research-ready framework that accelerates time to evidence without compromising rigor, privacy or scale. This is a game-changer for real-world evidence, safety and beyond."

taXonomy Pathways includes lab results from two leading outpatient labs, representing more than 60% of U.S. testing, including genetic assays. Lab values and collection dates align with exposure windows from medical and pharmacy claims to derive baselines and quantify treatment response. RWE and HEOR teams can track how often diagnostic tests are followed by treatment and assess test yield by payer and region, giving market access teams evidence to shape coverage policies and provider engagement.

To deepen insights further, taXonomy Pathways incorporates more than 3.6 billion de‑identified clinical notes across 340 million encounters for 43 million patients. These narrative notes capture symptoms, disease severity, imaging results, contraindications and reasons for discontinuation, giving researchers a broader view across therapeutic areas that far exceeds a claims-only approach.
