Mary Henderson, PhD presented at the In-Value-Able Conference & Expo hosted by the Health Action Council.

Her session, “Finding Actionable Savings in Your Claims Data: Unlocking Patterns of Care in Your Population,” explored how employers can move beyond traditional claims reporting to identify meaningful cost drivers and opportunities for intervention.

The presentation highlighted how organizations can:

• Identify cost drivers across price, utilization, and intensity

• Use episodes of care to understand full treatment journeys

• Integrate medical, pharmacy, and administrative data for clearer decision-making

• Apply population risk analysis to guide targeted interventions

The session emphasized that sustainable cost management requires moving from fragmented reporting toward integrated analytics that support strategic action.

Health Analytics Connect announced the launch of Healthcare Analytics Foundations℠, a structured training program designed to help organizations build internal capability for interpreting, governing, and communicating healthcare analytics.

As healthcare data environments grow more complex, many organizations rely on vendor reporting that limits transparency into underlying measurement logic. Healthcare Analytics Foundations℠ equips internal teams with the knowledge required to understand analytic methodologies, validate results, and translate analytics into informed decision-making.

The program supports enterprise teams responsible for analytics oversight, program evaluation, and performance reporting.

Core areas include:

• Measurement framework design and interpretation

• Enterprise ROI evaluation methodologies

• Healthcare data governance fundamentals

• Executive-facing performance communication

Healthcare Analytics Foundations℠ is designed for employers, health plans, and healthcare innovators seeking to strengthen internal analytics capability and align measurement practices with enterprise governance frameworks.

Health Analytics Connect announced the availability of its enterprise healthcare analytics infrastructure platform, designed to help organizations move from vendor-dependent reporting to enterprise-owned analytics capability.

The platform integrates structured data preparation, governed evaluation frameworks, and automated reporting workflows within an enterprise-controlled environment.

Platform components include:

• InHouseIQ℠ — embedded enterprise analytics infrastructure deployed inside your environment

• Outcomes Analyzer℠— configuration-driven program evaluation and impact measurement

• Report Generator℠ — automated reporting aligned to enterprise governance frameworks

• Analytic Recipes℠ — standardized measurement logic and evaluation methodologies

• IngestIQ℠ — healthcare-native data ingestion and preparation infrastructure

Together, these components support a unified analytics environment that enables organizations to govern measurement logic, validate vendor outputs, and operationalize analytics across complex healthcare ecosystems.

Organizations using enterprise-owned analytics infrastructure gain:

• Transparent and defensible measurement frameworks

• Automated reporting cycles and reduced manual processes

• Consistent evaluation across programs and vendors

• Durable internal analytics capability

Organizations evaluating enterprise healthcare analytics infrastructure are encouraged to learn more about the platform and deployment models.
