Why now

Margin compression isn't a bad quarter anymore.

It's structural. Expenses have been outpacing price growth for years, and the workforce and supplies costs behind it haven't reversed.

The data to fix it already exists. It's just never been trusted by both sides of the table at once.

From your seat

The gap isn't a data problem.

It's that finance and clinical leadership have never been looking at the same number. Here's how that closes, seat by seat.

The problem

The board wants a plan. What shows up is a report, already stale.

The payoff

Enterprise-level visibility into where the money is, backed by data that holds up in the room.

The problem

What finance can defend on paper isn't what survives a room full of surgeons.

The payoff

The same data, risk-adjusted before anyone sees it. Finance can stand behind it. Clinical leadership can't wave it off.

The problem

Every question about cost by procedure or physician becomes a two-week wait on an already-backed-up analyst.

The payoff

The same data, self-service, explored without waiting on anyone.

The problem

Finance trusts the methodology. Physicians don't, because it was never adjusted for how sick their patients actually were.

The payoff

The same finding, risk-adjusted, case by case. Not a benchmark to argue with, their own data.

What it does

How we work with you

The work continues past go-live. And so do we.

Before go-live, your team gets ready: a sponsor clears the way, an operational lead owns adoption, IT connects the data.After that, we stay in it together: interpreting findings, keeping leadership focused on what matters most, and turning progress into the next move.

Health Catalyst team working with hospital leaders

Cost data alone doesn’t save money. Acting on it does.

Cost Intelligence pairs a GL-defensible cost model with an AI engine that finds the opportunity, and the people who help you close it. We'll model your first year's opportunity against your own data and service line mix, before you've committed to anything.
