May 26, 2015
New successes announced as enterprise-scale data discovery, visualization tool creates real impact
EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 26, 2015 — More than 30 customers across multiple healthcare facilities are finding success using McKesson Analytics Explorer™ as their enterprise-level healthcare analytics and data discovery platform. By combining McKesson Analytics Explorer with McKesson’s healthcare expertise and Business Advisor Services, customers are discovering measurable improvements in their clinical, financial, operational and quality outcomes.
“Through McKesson Analytics Explorer, we are able to focus on unmet patients’ needs in the domains of safety and quality, and thus enable our clinicians to act in a timely manner on actionable analytics that are meaningful to our patients,” said Dr. Danyal Ibrahim, chief data and analytics officer, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center. “At the same time, our analysts can develop complex, organizational-specific analyses that give us a competitive advantage in our market and prepare us for taking on additional risk as the move toward value-based reimbursement advances.”
Additionally, when used with McKesson Performance Analytics™, McKesson’s decision-support solution, McKesson Analytics Explorer customers are able to perform sophisticated cost accounting functions, allocating costs and revenue across settings of care for a more accurate view of the profitability of value-based contracts.
McKesson Analytics Explorer brings deep healthcare expertise to one of the industry’s leading data visualization systems that Gartner places in the “visionary” category on its 2015 Magic Quadrant. Heidi Conrad, vice president and chief financial officer at Regions Hospital indicated, “McKesson Analytics Explorer has provided us with integrated data, rapid analytical cycle time and visual displays that have engaged physician stakeholders at a whole new level.”
“We’re pleased with the success that McKesson Analytics Explorer has seen in the market,” said John Shewell, vice president, McKesson Strategic Intelligence. “We’re especially proud of the March 26 KLAS Alert that showed our five most recent Explorer surveys had an average score of 90.7.* Our historical leadership in healthcare analytics is paving the way for healthcare organization success today and through the transition toward value-based reimbursement methodologies.”
Shewell continued, “Providers need analytics tools to ensure they are maximizing their eroding margins. However, as the industry moves toward more reimbursement based on value and less on fee-for-service, the ability of analytics tools to aggregate and analyze data across settings of care without regard for which vendor created them will be absolutely critical to healthcare organization success.”
