The Cost Intelligence solution combines scalable activity-based costing with embedded AI-driven analytics to deliver both accurate cost measurement and actionable improvement insight.

Using activity-based costing—not just RVUs—Cost Intelligence aggregates granular data from EMRs, claims, general ledgers, payroll, supply chain, surgical logs, and other systems to build a comprehensive, patient-level view of cost. Labor, supplies, equipment, and clinical time are tied directly to the services delivered and outcomes achieved. On top of this trusted costing foundation, AI and machine learning identify high-impact variation, surface standardization opportunities, and highlight targeted actions to reduce waste and improve performance. Guided workflows streamline costing and validation, while intuitive dashboards equip finance, operational, and clinical leaders with shared, transparent insight.

The result: a unified, trusted view of cost that drives measurable financial and clinical improvement across service lines, providers, and patient populations.

The Challenge

Health systems that have acquired ambulatory care practices—and independent ambulatory practices alike—face tremendous financial pressures and challenges to financial sustainability. If you’re an ambulatory care leader, you’re looking to improve the efficiency of the services you provide and find cost savings without negatively impacting patient outcomes, the community, or the integrity of the organization. Yet it can be difficult to access data that brings actionable insights to inform decisions to improve patient access, panel management, provider productivity, referral management, or quality scores.

Benefits

  • True patient-level cost transparency. Accurately measure the full cost of care using activity-based methods to reveal the real drivers of variation.
  • Actionable, ai-powered insights. Identify high-impact improvement opportunities and targeted recommendations—not just reports.
  • Reduced unwarranted variation. Surface standardization opportunities that lower costs while maintaining or improving outcomes.
  • Stronger physician and service line engagement. Provide trusted, evidence-based data that aligns finance and clinical leaders around shared goals.
  • Faster, more efficient costing processes. Streamlined workflows guide validation and reporting, saving time and reducing errors.
  • Improved margins and value-based performance. Uncover targeted savings and align cost insights with quality outcomes to succeed in risk-based models.
