CPR evaluated seven leading vendors to see if the data warehouse and analytics marketplace is able to support high-value health care purchasing strategies.  Here is what we found.

As health care prices continue to rise for purchasers and patients alike, employers and other health care purchasers are implementing new strategies to bend the cost curve and improve quality of care. These emerging purchaser-led strategies require new standards in data warehousing and analytics support, and there are many vendors available to support employer clients in this space. CPR’s State of the Data Warehouse & Analytics Marketplace Report summarizes key findings and recommendations from:

• CPR’s Data Warehouse Evaluation Project Advisory Committee, which convened six purchasers and integrated insights from CPR’s broader membership
• Extensive research and expert interviews with purchasers, researchers, data scientists, and innovators
• Detailed evaluations of leading data warehouse and analytics vendors using CPR’s newly released evaluation toolkit

CPR hopes the insights presented in this report will prepare health care purchasers to take steps toward data-driven higher value health care purchasing strategies and motivate those who provide data analytics to prioritize employers’ needs and demands.
