Our combination of deep operational and healthcare experience and world-class data science capabilities can help your organization tackle its most pressing challenges.
Our data science and analytical services span the continuum of care and can support your organization no matter your current level of maturity. Whether you are looking for data and research, need support with building a robust data and analytics infrastructure or internal analytics team, are seeking to leverage advanced analytics or AI, or need help in conveying those insights to drive action, we can help.
Our advisory work and thought leadership all are based on rigorous analysis of the most up-to-date data on industry volumes, revenues, expenses, margins, and other facets of performance and financial state.
Our analytics and AI services include:
Advanced Volume Projections and Financial Planning Analytics
- Challenge: Organizations often rely upon long-term projections or estimates which do not always reflect current local and market conditions, require substantial effort to update, and do not link to the financial plan.
- How We Help: Using advanced AI/ML techniques, Kaufman Hall can build and deliver predictive models that adapt to real-time data, automatically update, span long-term down to hourly levels, and link to the financial plan.
Optimization and Prioritization
- Challenge: Organizations often rely upon analyses that describe historical performance but do not always have the capability to proactively define the best actions and recommendations to optimize certain outcomes.
- How We Help: Using cutting edge optimization engines, Kaufman Hall can provide prescriptive actions that optimize intended outcomes, like minimizing cost, or maximizing revenue while working within your organization’s constraints.
Enterprise-Wide Simulation Modeling
- Challenge: Organizations often struggle to identify both the cause and impact of issues in one area onto others. As such, interventions may be inappropriate and often quickly hit practical roadblocks preventing the realization of opportunity.
- How We Help: Using discrete event simulation and complex adaptive models, we can create a digital representation of the system allowing bottlenecks and issues to be quickly identified and test the impact of interventions system-wide.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithm Development
- Challenge: Organizations often struggle with developing AI/ML algorithms in house and often have to partner with firms that lack healthcare expertise, resulting in expensive and not always useful or successful algorithms.
- How We Help: Kaufman Hall has developed numerous AI/ML algorithms specifically focused on the healthcare space, and can provide adaptive algorithms which classify accounts, vendors, consumers along with a wide-variety of other machine learning approaches to solving common problems.
Data Science Strategy
- Challenge: Healthcare organizations do not always have the required expertise to set true data science strategy, establish goals, develop data scientists and define realistic ROI.
- How We Help: Kaufman Hall can provide data science strategy support ranging from larger strategic plan setting, to defining goals, building onboarding and development material, creating appropriate organizational structures, and setting best-practice data infrastructure development and governance.
Healthcare and Hospital Benchmarking and Data Driven Reports
- Financial and Clinical Benchmarking
- National Hospital Flash Reports
- Physician Flash Reports
- Hospital Performance Reports
Published monthly, the National Hospital Flash Report includes data and analyses across the key areas of margins, volumes, revenues, and expenses derived from 900+ U.S. hospitals.
Published quarterly, the report features up-to-date industry trends drawn from the same data that physician groups use to track their finances and operations.
