Health Catalyst, Inc., a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that WakeMed Health & Hospitals (WakeMed) will implement Health Catalyst's Data Operating System (DOS™) and Rapid Response Analytics (RRA) solution which will assist WakeMed in providing efficient, quality care across the Raleigh, N.C.-based health system.

With one million patient visits each year, WakeMed is the largest provider of care in Wake County and home to three full-service, acute care hospitals as well as a dedicated Heart Center, Children's Hospital, Rehabilitation Hospital and other speciality facilities and physician practices.

WakeMed will use DOS technology, a data-first, analytics and application platform, to capture and map raw data into meaningful, actionable insights. Health Catalyst's RRA solution is a collection of analytics infrastructure tools that allow analytics teams to integrate and customize data, logic and algorithms.

"Health Catalyst's cloud-based technology platform will help us improve our patient quality outcomes by providing timely, critical data to our clinical and leadership teams," said Rick Carrico, WakeMed executive vice president and Chief Financial Officer. "The company's commitment to the achievement of our mutually set outcomes and improvement goals speaks volumes about the team's dedication to delivering curated, accurate and impactful data to transform healthcare."

Health Catalyst will work across the WakeMed ecosystem to manage a vast amount of critical data and deliver real-time insights and support within the existing clinic, administrative and other health provider workflows.

"Our collaboration with Health Catalyst aligns with WakeMed's efforts to accelerate innovation and support positive health outcomes for our many patients, families and communities by providing the right information, at the right time, in the right place," said Chris DeRienzo, senior vice president and Chief Quality & Medical Staff Officer for WakeMed. "I've seen firsthand how powerful the right analytics can be in the hands of a team committed to driving continuous improvement, and we couldn't be more excited about starting that work today."

"Our partnership with WakeMed, a nationally recognized, private, not-for-profit healthcare organization, is critical to the ongoing superior quality of care being provided across the state," said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. "We are honoured that WakeMed has entrusted Health Catalyst as its partner in this transformational initiative. We believe our data, analytics and services solution aligns nicely to 'The Wake Way,' a strong culture committed to going above and beyond to help patients."
