CLEVELAND, OH—November 8, 2011—“We are very excited to have Catholic Health Partners as one of the leading integrated health networks partnering with us”, said Stephen McHale, Explorys CEO. “CHP is viewed as a leader in delivering quality care and it is invigorating to see them incorporate our platform and solutions as critical elements of their quality initiatives and strategies.”
This multi-year agreement enables Catholic Health Partners to utilize Explorys’ Enterprise Performance Management solutions across their 24 hospitals, 15 long-term care facilities, and seven regional health systems to analyze populations, providers, treatments and outcomes in real-time, as well as measure processes and financial results. Leveraging this data will help Catholic Health Partners to continue their leadership in improving the quality of care they deliver to their patients. These solutions are built on the industry’s first super-scale BIG DATA framework for healthcare data exploration, measurement, analytics, and engagement.
Catholic Health Partners (CHP) has been a recognized leader for clinical performance and efficiency. “We have proven our ability to utilize evidence-based practices in the coordination and delivery of quality care”, stated CHP Senior Vice President, Resource Management and Chief Information Officer, Rebecca Sykes. “This partnership with Explorys gives us a core platform on disruptive computing technology that will allow us to leverage a sustainable solution for measuring our performance while at the same time creating fiscally responsible care paths supporting the new and evolving payment models.”
Explorys’ DataGrid platform is based upon a massively parallel computing and unique indexing model that enables healthcare providers to search and analyze patient populations, treatment protocols, and clinical outcomes to improve care delivery and accelerate lifesaving discovery in less than a second; all in a HIPAA compliant manner. This scale enables healthcare leaders to leverage an “always on” and “always learning” network that spans billions of healthcare events across the myriad of delivery venues available to patients.
