Business Intelligence Vendors With a Healthcare Analytics Focus Garnering More Mindshare Among Providers

    OREM, UT, March 31, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As healthcare providers put more time and focus on BI and better recognize the difficulty of it, they also look for additional, much-needed healthcare expertise and content among BI vendors. Additionally, healthcare organizations that are data driven realize they cannot just be driven by in-organization data, and this is driving them to turn to cross-industry vendor giants first for help with data aggregation. These findings and more are revealed in the latest KLAS report, entitled Health Analytics 2015: Moving toward the Continuum of Care.

This report highlights providers' perceptions/consideration of vendors seen as capable in these areas. In KLAS' research for this report, Epic received the most overall references for analytics going forward, with multiyear customer hesitation shifting to anticipation. Seen as placing a strong, new focus on analytics development, Cerner likewise received a notable increase in mindshare.

"While providers' choices for vendor partners are broad, some key trends are forming," said report author, Joe VanDeGraaff. "There is a notable gap of healthcare expertise among BI vendors, increased complexity in data aggregation, and a heightened call for analytics solutions for the continuum of care. These items combined are driving providers to turn to the vendors they believe will be most likely to help them."

The report is available to healthcare providers and vendors.
