Analytics and Improvement Programs for Analysts

Health Catalyst’s Analytics and Improvement Programs for Analysts empower your technical staff to deeply understand healthcare data—and then use the data to create insights that drive better decisions and lead to clinical, financial, and operational improvements.

The problem

Analysts bring the most value to healthcare organizations when they help solve problems and become partners in clinical and operational improvement work. This requires an ability to contextualize and analyze the data to surface improvement opportunities—and then communicate those opportunities with their leaders. Yet often organizations are ill-equipped to provide their analysts with the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to succeed in today’s complex healthcare environment.

Our approach

The Analytics and Improvement Programs for Analysts focus on providing the core competencies needed to move from reactive report writing to proactively discovering insights that lead to meaningful improvements. A flexible offering accessible at different levels, Analytics and Improvement Programs for Analysts aim to increase analytics efficiency, deepen insights, and maximize the value of data in your organization.
