A new report on business intelligence (BI) vendors from the research organization KLAS indicates that healthcare providers don’t necessarily equate vendor size with quality. Instead, providers seek partners who can help them leverage their products and prove value.

For “Healthcare Analytics Performance—The Data Deluge: Who Delivers Value?”, researchers spoke to 463 providers about their experiences with their BI solutions. Companies discussed in the report include Dimensional Insight, Health Catalyst, IBM, Information Builders, McKesson, Microsoft, MicroStrategy, Oracle, Qlik, SAP, SAS, and Tableau.

“Even though BI has been around for quite some time, providers are feeling an urgency to demonstrate value with the products they have, and they often look for that value in quick wins,” said report author Joe Van De Graaff. “Vendors who are actively involved in helping providers demonstrate tangible outcomes tend to be seen as creating the most value.”
