Improve Inpatient Outcomes with Clarity and Confidence

Inpatient care is central to quality, satisfaction, and revenue. But variation, delays, and blind spots can undermine outcomes and drive up costs. Real improvement takes more than monitoring—it takes proactive, data-driven action. Health Catalyst helps clinical and operational leaders improve safety, throughput, and experience. From maternal care to sepsis, VTE, and patient flow, we align teams around shared metrics and embed real-time insights into daily workflows.

Reduce Preventable Harm with Proactive VTE Management

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most preventable causes of hospital-related death, yet adherence to prophylaxis protocols often varies widely.

  • Surface VTE risks using evidence-based scoring systems.
  • Track prophylaxis protocol compliance in real time.
  • Flag missed interventions within clinical workflows.
  • Highlight trends, gaps, and variation with dashboards.

Result: Increased VTE bundle compliance and reduced inpatient risk.

Elevate Labor and Delivery Performance

Labor and delivery teams face rising risks and increasing complexity. To improve maternal and infant outcomes, health systems need standardized pathways, integrated data, and timely decision support.

  • Identify complications early with integrated data.
  • Track delivery trends (e.g., C-sections, LOS, readmits).
  • Improve safety with standardized pathways and protocols.
  • Use provider performance analytics to target improvement.

Result: Safer deliveries, more efficient care, and stronger patient experience.

Strengthen Sepsis Recognition and Response

Delayed sepsis treatment is a top driver of mortality and inpatient cost. Timely detection and intervention can save lives and reduce avoidable spend.

  • Spot breakdowns in sepsis care across bundle elements.
  • Reveal variation in response time & treatment adherence.
  • Add predictive alerts and screening tools to workflows.
  • Drill down to unit, clinician, and patient-level data.

Result: Faster sepsis recognition, stronger compliance—and lower mortality.

Optimize Patient Flow and Throughput

Breakdowns in inpatient flow and discharge readiness delay care, tie up beds, and strain teams. Understanding and improving these dynamics is key to operational success.

  • Monitor patient movement and handoffs across units.
  • Identify bottlenecks impacting the patient journey.
  • Track flow metrics to meet TJC and operational standards.
  • Standardize discharge and unit-level improvements.

Result: Shorter LOS, better throughput, and improved capacity management.

Why Health Catalyst?

Most analytics platforms surface problems but leave action to chance. Our approach integrates real-time clinical insight directly into workflows—helping teams reduce harm, improve throughput, and deliver safer inpatient care.
