The solution is an analytics platform that would allow fast, comprehensive, and customizable analysis of data to drive insights that would enable organizations to move closer to their goal of achieving quadruple aim - reduce cost, improve quality, improve the patient experience, and improved clinical experience. It also includes solutions capable of executing machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms on big data across different customers.

While most of our features and functionality are pre-built, we collaborate closely with each client during the negotiation and implementation phases of each project to customize reports, workflows, etc. to best meet each client’s needs, and are willing and able to adapt our roadmap and client-specific efforts to further adapt our integrated data model platform and integrated applications. Innovaccer understands that value-based organizations require cohort-driven, strategy appropriate, and tactically relevant programs to drive provider and patient compliance. Innovaccer works together with the customer during the contracting and implementation phase to craft multiple programs that take client-specific needs into consideration, including the comprehensiveness and efficiency of cohort-specific evidence-based guidelines; benchmarking flexibility; and multiple risk model assignment.
