The document provides an overview of Health Catalyst's Value Optimizer product, which is a web-based application that aims to help healthcare organizations develop data-informed strategies for value-based care. It describes three key capabilities of Value Optimizer: 1) Creating a comprehensive, benchmarked strategy using complete data, 2) Providing transparent and actionable insights into total cost of care and contracts, and 3) Enabling exploration of various clinical areas to uncover opportunities. The document includes several use cases that demonstrate how Value Optimizer can be used to analyze areas like inpatient utilization, pharmacy spending, imaging utilization, and more. It also discusses the support services that Health Catalyst provides to help customers implement and optimize the Value Optimizer

6. The Problem: No Data-rich Strategy
“I know my PMPM’s and other metrics—but are they good or bad?”
“Do I need to compare to benchmark or is it sufficient to compare to last year?”
“Is the benchmark like me or, more importantly, like my patients?”
Wait, what about….
• Post-acute utilization?
• Emergency department use?
• Readmission rates?
• Lengths of stay?
• PCP paneling and scorecards?
• HCC coding?
• Retail pharmacy?
• Generic drugs?
• Polychronic patients?
• High-cost Imaging?
• Palliative care?
• Infusions?
• Out-of-network spending?
• Home health?
• Ambulatory-sensitive conditions?
• SDOH?
• Clinical variation?
If you can’t access a complete list of benchmarked opportunities—
and can’t compare them to one other—you don’t have an optimal,
data-informed STRATEGY to win in Value-based Care.
7. The Solution: Finally, a Data-informed Way to Win at VBC
Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities within value-based
care—allowing you to master your strategy and achieve profitability.
Strategy drives interventions—interventions drive results seen in Value Optimizer. Repeat.
Post-acute care chronic patients are high-
spending and need prioritization. (Population
Builder)
Diabetes population is overspending to
benchmark. (Care Management)
Preventable care is driving too many admits.
(Measures program)
HCC coding shows opportunity to benchmark.
(Embed intel into EMR at point of care)
DATA
High out-of-network activity to key competitor
needs constant reporting. (Leading Wisely)

continuum of care (compared to benchmark)?
3. Where can I free-form explore for use cases that I haven’t even thought of yet?

empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
Retail Rx Use Case
Your Population Health Executive has asked you, the Population Health
Analyst, to understand more about Retail Rx in the employee plan you are at
risk for. You hope you can do the following three things:
1. Make sure you can translate data into real insights and a clear
“so what” answer.
2. What detail can I provide on generic vs brand use?
3. Do we have members over the limit for MME/opioid use? What is their
PCP assignment?
16. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: High-cost Imaging
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
High-cost Imaging Use Case
As a Population Health Analyst your Population Health Executive has asked
about high-cost imaging. It was challenging when you looked into this
before…this time you’re really hoping to accomplish the following:
1. Make sure you can compare to benchmark and have clear, “so what”
answers.
2. See a clear, clean grouping of codes for imaging, so you are not lost in
detail.
3. Know which locations are above and below average pricing – leading to
prioritized alignment.
17. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: Hospice/End of Life
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
Hospice/End of life Use Case
You noticed in some reading about the industry that end-of-life care often has
significant spending and care opportunity. As a Population Health Analyst, you
decided to be proactive to understand this for your populations so you can report
to your leaders about it. You are hoping to understand:
1. Make sure you can translate data into real insights and a clear
“so what” answer.
2. What is the spending and care that these members receive? What role does
hospice play?
3. How do different hospice providers compare? Are we constructing our
program and approach intentionally?
19. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: ED Analyzer
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
ED (Emergency Department) Analyzer Use Case
A Population Health Executive has asked you, the Population Health Analyst,
to understand more about emergency department use.
You’re hoping you can do the following three things:
1. Make sure you can translate data into real insights and a clear
“so what” answer.
2. Account for all the right codes, since that can be tricky in ED analytics.
3. Get a clear understanding of what is potentially avoidable and the
patients who could receive better care (via care management, PCP visits?).
20. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: Outpatient
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
Outpatient Use Case
As a Population Health Analyst, you know outpatient spending is a key area
to research for your populations. You are hoping to understand:
1. How to translate data into real insights and a clear “so what” answer.
2. What about expensive drugs administered in outpatient settings vs
others?
3. How do my dialysis patients and providers compare?
21. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: Physician Analyzer
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
Physician Analyzer Use Case
As a Population Health Analyst, you often need to deep dive on physician-
specific analytics. You are hoping to understand the following:
1. How do physician panels compare on any key metric in Value Optimizer?
2. How does my professional spending break down by service line?
3. Can I see and explain how patients are attributed to PCPs in
Value Optimizer?
22. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: HCC Analyzer
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
HCC Analyzer Use Case
As a Population Health Analyst, you know accurate coding is important for
both patient care and financial margin. You need to share with the
Population Health Executive:
1. Real insights and a clear “so what” answer compared to benchmark.
2. How well you are recapturing codes in your risk populations.
3. When you are not coding because of access issues OR because of missed
opportunities during visits—on a patient-by-patient basis.
Does the gap warrant interventions at the point of care?
23. Health Catalyst Value Optimizer: Pregnancy Analyzer
The Health Catalyst Value Optimizer leaves no stone unturned in the discovery of improvement opportunities—
empowering you to master your value-based care strategy.
Pregnancy Analyzer Use Case
As a Population Health Analyst, you’ve run into difficulty accounting for the
nuance of data related to pregnancy. You want to understand:
1. What is the total spend (per total event – inclusive of all services) for
pregnancies in my at-risk population?
2. How much of that volume is going outside my network?
3. What percentage of our pregnancies involve the ICU? Cesarean?
25. Why so much?
To master your value-based care strategy, you
must understand and benchmark all the major
areas across the complete care continuum to
select only the most impactful options.
Value Optimizer was built to instantly compare
10,000 benchmarked opportunities and show a
