Healthcare.AI Framework Healthcare.AI Offerings


Healthcare leaders face an unprecedented list of increasingly critical issues
across revenue, cost, and quality. These leaders are turning to artificial
intelligence as the key to better decision-making, believing it will deliver
faster turnaround of insights with small margins for error. While these attempts
may even incorporate augmented intelligence (AI), which goes beyond artificial
intelligence by enabling human decision makers to make the best choices, they
often fall short.

As a result, many business and analytics leaders are trying to integrate
augmented intelligence (AI) into their analytic processes to better address
these critical issues. Too often, these efforts have been less than successful.
Leaders have struggled to integrate AI into current tools, integrate or change
workflows, and demonstrate a positive impact of AI.

The first release of Healthcare.AI by Health Catalyst focused primarily on point
of care or service predictive model use cases. However, this approach was often
ineffective when applied without expert guidance (self-service), and the
approach was also too narrow in scope, limiting the effective use of AI in
healthcare.

The Healthcare.AI offering from Health Catalyst is an improved, transformational
suite of products and expert services that address this wider array of critical
business issues. Healthcare.AI dramatically broadens the use and use cases for
effective AI within your organization.

Healthcare.AI dramatically expands the use and use cases for effective AI within
your organization.

WHY IS AI NOT LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS IN HEALTHCARE ANALYTICS?

Three common challenges prevent successful AI integration at health systems:

Challenge 1: Integrating AI into Current Tools

Ideally, analysts want AI capabilities integrated into their existing workflows
and business intelligence (BI) tools. However, most AI tools are standalone
applications requiring analysts to learn and adopt yet another program,
language, or integration point. Either approach limits the adoption of AI into
key analytics workflows.

Challenge 2: Integrating AI Expertise Within the Organization

Effective AI integration requires data science expertise, and the leaders who
attempt to fill this expertise gap find it challenging for myriad reasons:

 * Health systems simply cannot adequately fund data science resources.
 * Even with in-house data science talent, scaling that expertise to the broader
   analytics teams is difficult.
 * Teaching data science concepts and skills to existing teams is a slow,
   expensive, and unsustainable process.

Challenge 3: Demonstrating the Positive Impact of AI

When healthcare organizations have managed to implement predictive models, they
struggle to demonstrate the impact and engender trust throughout the
organization. Some of the most common challenges include:

 * Limitations of “black box” software: Most traditional artificial intelligence
   solutions are “black boxes,” which make it impossible to validate, modify, or
   optimize the analysis. Leaders are left wondering if these programs are
   working or how to improve them.
 * Narrow focus on predictive analytics: Many of these solutions narrowly focus
   on predictive analytics, limiting any potential impact. While predictive
   modeling is an important use case, the opportunities for AI support are
   enterprise wide, including for critical decisions.


HOW HEALTHCARE.AI SOLVES THESE ISSUES



A transformative and improved product suite and set of expert services,
Healthcare.AI by Health Catalyst, dramatically broadens effective AI use
throughout healthcare organizations.

The offering is optimized to address five levels of analytics AI use cases as
laid out in the Healthcare.AI Framework™:



LEVEL 1: ANALYTICS INTEGRATION – HEALTHCARE.AI PRODUCT SUITE

Our Healthcare.AI Product Suite expands the easy use of self-service AI into
your mainstream analytics.

Provides easy one-button-click AI access into existing business intelligence
(BI) tools and applications.

The Healthcare.AI Product Suite easily integrates into your existing BI tools
and Health Catalyst applications. Once installed, it can be up and running and
creating insights in minutes. The Healthcare.AI Product Suite easily integrates
into:

 * Your existing business intelligence tools (Qlik, PowerBI, Tableau, Leading
   Wisely).
 * More than 100 Health Catalyst analytics accelerators.
 * Your existing Health Catalyst software product lines (more coming in 2021).

Embeds a blend of well-established and cutting-edge statistical and machine
learning techniques into every product suite module.

We start with embedding proven statistical methods successfully used in our
years of data-driven healthcare experience.

Then we add the latest AI technology to improve the existing analytics module
capability.

Our embedded approach makes it easier for healthcare analysts of all types and
backgrounds to understand and use advanced statistical and AI features in their
most common use cases, within their existing business intelligence workflows.

Helps analysts produce the higher quality and dramatically faster insights
needed to support your business-critical issues.

The embedded rigor means that your analytics insights are more accurate,
precise, and consistent than before. You do not have to wait months or even
years for additional training or hands-on experience to give your analysts an
accelerated AI boost.

This embedded approach dramatically increases the speed to deliver analytic
insights from months or weeks to minutes or seconds. It also automates analytics
tasks that currently take time in external tools and languages and introduces
advanced AI that helps identify trends much faster than more traditional
approaches.

LEVELS 2-5: AI EXPERTISE

Our Healthcare.AI Expert Services help significantly expand and improve your
success rates for advanced AI use cases.

We help you choose, build, or optimize from hundreds of predictive models
(Levels 2,3).

Transactional predictive analytics are the most common use of AI in healthcare
analytics. Because of this, predictive models and self-service predictive model
building engines have proliferated to meet a wide variety of needs. However,
without expert guidance in selecting or tailoring these tools, many pitfalls
exist preventing optimal deployment in local healthcare decisions.

To overcome that challenge, our Healthcare.AI offering provides expert guidance
to help you pick, tailor, or build predictive models optimized for your
organization and business needs.

 * We start with hundreds of pre-defined predictive models from which to choose.
 * We help choose, tailor, or build the optimal predictive model for your
   situation.
 * We help you validate the predictive model and optimize the impact within your
   organization.

Our approach ensures that you get the best set of predictive models with the
greatest likelihood of demonstrating results.

We help you use AI for advanced use cases beyond predictive analytics (Levels
4,5).

AI in healthcare has too often been limited to predictive analytics. While
predictive modeling is important, there is a much greater set of uses and
opportunities for AI in healthcare.

We provide expert guidance to help you identify and use AI for a wider variety
of use cases and advanced business decision-making situations, including major
categories such as:

 * Retrospective comparisons for system-wide improvement optimization.
 * Prescriptive optimization to plan for your most efficient and effective
   go-forward improvement projects.

We can help you start, expand, guide, or supplement your data science talent.

Experienced healthcare data scientists can be hard to find, recruit, and retain.
Many organizations also struggle to integrate their data science talent into
their broader analytics efforts.

We provide expert healthcare data science talent. We can help you with the right
level of guidance—from supporting a “light touch” data science project to
embedding our data science resources to help you with longer-term efforts (a
process we have been refining since the inception of Health Catalyst).

OUR HEALTHCARE.AI APPROACH

Our entire Healthcare.AI approach is uniquely open, transparent, and easy,
unlike most AI “black box” product solutions.

Typical AI product solutions deliver results without giving leaders and users a
clear understanding of how results are derived. This approach is often called
black box because the methods for delivering the results are largely unknown to
the users.

Black box AI solutions are challenging because:

 * Their results and recommendations are hard to explain or validate.
 * Inaccurate results are hard to diagnose or modify when they don’t appear to
   be working.

This opacity makes it difficult for business leaders or clinicians to trust
AI-driven recommendations, rendering the results either ineffective or at times
rejected.

Truly effective AI solutions—the algorithms, people, and workflow—must first be
coupled together to solve specific problems and then tuned over time for optimal
results. Easy and open transparency becomes critical for everyone involved—those
leading change, the analyst, and the end user—to optimize and trust the results.

We specifically designed our approach to be open and transparent.

Our products are built to easily integrate into your analytics workflow, giving
you the same transparency that you have learned to trust from your BI tools.

Our tools and services help you build trust and lead change through driving
engagement and fitting the data, methods, and algorithms to your specific
situation.

These approaches help you significantly increase the use and adoption of AI in
your organization because you can build the trust and confidence of downstream
users in the AI-influenced recommendations.
