Health Catalyst® Closed-Loop Analytics™
With provider job dissatisfaction on the rise
and the daily battle providers face every
day to feel like they are positively impacting
patients, the EHR only adds stress.
Excessive clicks to perform basic functions,
overly complicated workflows, and lack of
data integration between systems lead to:
• provider burnout
• reduction in care delivery effectiveness
• increased clinician turnover

Health Catalyst® Closed-Loop Analytics™
Closed-Loop Analytics™ aggregates
multiple sources of data into a customized
workflow within the EHR, or optimizes an
existing workflow, allowing end users to
more effectively use their data.
By surfacing clear, concise calls to action
at key workflow decision points, users
such as physicians, other clinical
providers, and financial and operational
teams can improve the effectiveness of
their workflows while decreasing the time
it takes to complete them.

Health Catalyst® Closed-Loop Analytics™
With reliable, actionable data accessible
at the patient bedside, providers are 15x
more likely to act on best practices and
they experience 6x less clicks to perform
the same functions within the EHR.
The result? Less time behind a computer
and more time with patients.

improving workflows and decision making:

Streamline EHR processes,
reduce excessive clicks, and
reduce provider burnout by
embedding analytics output
into a workflow tool (e.g., the
EHR).
Integrates data analytics
into your workflow
Increase effectiveness of
analytics products by
integrating data analytics into
workflow components that
enable action-able insights for
the end user.
Integrates data
