Care costs can vary widely across providers, locations, and procedures—even within the same health system. While some variation is expected, unexplained differences often reveal inefficiencies or missed opportunities. Health Catalyst brings clarity to cost variation, helping teams understand the “why” and make smarter, more informed decisions.
Traditional costing approaches often obscure meaningful insights by using generalized assumptions and departmental averages. Our analytics platform provides encounter-level visibility, helping health systems break cost down to what really matters.
Result: A trusted foundation for smarter, more transparent cost analysis.


Once variation is made visible, leaders can pinpoint where interventions are needed most—without relying on guesswork. Our platform helps you move from observation to action with confidence.
Result: Focused improvement that targets the highest-value opportunities.
Health Catalyst helps health systems bring transparency to clinical cost variation, making it easier to engage teams, prioritize action, and ensure every dollar supports high-value care. Together, we can uncover variation, standardize wisely, and move from reactive to strategic.
Too often, financial data is inaccessible or irrelevant to frontline clinicians. We equip clinical teams with the context and clarity they need to understand variation and participate in cost-improvement initiatives.
Result: A collaborative approach to financial improvement.


Identifying variation is just the beginning. Health systems also need the ability to track interventions, measure results, and sustain gains. Our platform closes the loop between insight and action.
Result: Long-term cost management success rooted in evidence.
