Truven Health Analytics: Delivering Robust Analytics for Improved Efficiency
Rich Holada, Chief Data & Technology ExecutiveTruven Health Analytics provides performance improvement solutions built on data integrity, advanced analytics, and deep domain expertise. The company’s product suite includes many of the most trusted brands in healthcare, such as MarketScan, Micromedex, 100 Top Hospitals, AdvantageSuite, ActionOI, and Simpler. The company’s solutions and services deliver insights that help organizations to make confident decisions, which directly affect the health and well-being of consumers and of the organization.
MarketScan databases proffer sophisticated datasets with robust, high-quality, longitudinal data, detailed but de-identified at the patient level, reflecting the real-world cost and utilization of healthcare services for 200 million individuals across all sites of care. “The patient centric longitudinal view allows gleaning insights in the world of statistical mathematics,” says Holada. “By applying sophisticated analytics, commonalities between groups of people are established.” Additionally, the company uses data mining techniques to draw out interesting information, for example information that enables better benefit plan design, effective intervention programs, or preventing re-admission of patients through predictive analytics. “Data analytics gives us the insights to guide the overall healthcare system into effectively managing the health of the population,” says Holada.
The company also offers an advanced, highly secure, and customized Data Warehouse solution, which brings together and harmonizes disconnected data from across healthcare or across agencies that share a responsibility for the well-being of the community or state. “We gather inputs from all the systems through seamless integrations and standardize it so that the data are easily accessible,” says Holada. The Data Warehouse solution provides a platform, which maximizes resource use, reduces errors, and discovers expensive redundancies. “It’s also a tremendous resource as we work with customers to identify fraud, waste, and abuse in healthcare,” says Holada.

Further, the company’s skilled staff renders the technical and database management functions needed to ensure that users receive timely access to their data. “We also have clinical experts, experienced benefits and health plan managers, data governance and other domain experts, as well as data scientists and analytics experts, who understand the space and work with the customers as trusted advisors,” points out Holada.

The company collaborates continually with customers to uncover opportunities for improving costs, quality, efficiency, and outcomes.
