Premiers enterprise warehouse and analytics platform support cost, quality, labor and enterprise resource planning analytics, among other services. Now the company picks up Healthcare Insights budgeting analytics ranked as the best over four years by vendor research firm KLAS Enterprises, as well as service line analytics, such as clinical financial management, operations and productivity analysis.
Service line analytics enable assessment of the true cost of a service, such as understanding whether cardiology services across an enterprise are profitable, Figlioli says. Healthcare Insights also offers labor analytics that Premier will fold into its own labor analytics line.
