The CRStar by Health Catalyst™ application is the industry's first cloud-based cancer registry solution. You can leverage CRStar as a knowledge center of actionable insights to help guide key resource and accreditation management, planning, and cancer program growth decisions with an emphasis on quality and research. CRStar provides innovative casefinding, abstracting, data analytics, and informatics capabilities—including integrated pathology NLP automation powered by HLA Global, which accelerates and improves the accuracy of identifying reportable cancers and key clinical attributes directly within existing workflows.

CRStar empowers both individual cancer centers and large enterprise health systems to achieve their full potential by meeting and exceeding increasing regulatory, accreditation, and quality reporting requirements while also providing insights for enhancing cancer program management.

The Challenge

Health systems that have acquired ambulatory care practices—and independent ambulatory practices alike—face tremendous financial pressures and challenges to financial sustainability. If you’re an ambulatory care leader, you’re looking to improve the efficiency of the services you provide and find cost savings without negatively impacting patient outcomes, the community, or the integrity of the organization. Yet it can be difficult to access data that brings actionable insights to inform decisions to improve patient access, panel management, provider productivity, referral management, or quality scores.
