Machine Learning Services

Health Catalyst® believes machine learning is the life-saving technology that will transform healthcare.

Machine learning challenges the traditional, reactive approach to healthcare. In fact, it’s the exact opposite: predictive, proactive, and preventative—life-saving qualities that make it a critically essential capability in every health system. Health Catalyst is on a mission to help health systems improve outcomes and save lives by making machine learning routine, actionable, and pervasive through catalyst.ai (machine learning models built into every Health Catalyst application), healthcare.ai (free, open source machine learning software), and its healthcare analytics platform (the foundation of machine learning).

The problem

Machine learning—the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data—is life-saving technology that will do more than just improve outcomes in healthcare—it will save lives. Machine learning, although slow to be adopted in healthcare, is an urgent necessity in this industry. Healthcare must change its traditional, reactionary mindset to a preventative one focused on saving lives.

Benefits and features

In addition to our CLABSI risk prediction model, Health Catalyst has leveraged catalyst.ai to deploy numerous predictive models for clinical, financial, and operational decision support:

• CLABSI risk
• CHF readmission risk
• Diabetes future risk
• Diabetes net likely complication
• Forecast incurred but not reported claims/year-end expenditures
• Propensity-to-pay risk
• Appointments no-show risk

Health Catalyst has even more predictive models planned. Here’s a sample:

• Clinical and operational decision support for bowel surgery
• Hip and knee surgery
• Coronary artery disease
• Geo-spatial network referral and leakage prevention
• Early detection of CAUTI and sepsis
