On this episode of Healthcare Analytics Decoded, a Quantros podcast, Quantros Director of Data Science Andrew Johnson joined host Lauren Hickey to explore how hospitals, health systems and purchasers of healthcare benefit from utilizing data analytics software.

Johnson’s healthcare data science work has been published in dozens of scientific publications, and he’s spent time leading HCA Healthcare’s National Group data science team, held faculty positions in Public Health Administration at the University of Kentucky, and currently holds a faculty appointment in Healthcare Informatics at the Medical University of South Carolina.

In particular, Hickey and Johnson focused on the effects of a general shift from a fee-for-service-based model to a value-based one. Johnson said he advocates for any hospital, health system, etc. to have a list of “vital signs” it tracks in terms of metrics and data.

Those “vital signs” should flow down from the organization’s mission statement, but Johnson said there are also three categories of new additions to these signs that healthcare organizations can benefit from – compliance with care-practice models and best practices, outcome measures associated with value-based contracts, and patient experience metrics.

Once those primary “vital signs” – readmissions, length of stay, etc. – are taken care of, it’s beneficial to take a deeper dive into more specific metrics and find a way to compare a healthcare organization to its peers across the nation.

Healthcare analytics software, particularly a quality third-party solution, can help organizations improve performance, gain insights, find mutually beneficial partnerships, and more in a way that doesn’t strain internal teams and EMR solutions.

Most reprocessing audit gaps trace back to training, turnover and leadership

Most reprocessing audit gaps trace back to training, turnover and leadership

Joint Commission findings on its reprocessing standard point mostly to training, turnover, leadership and missing ownership, not sterilizers. CDC epidemiologists and a 2019 review add cleaning verification and manufacturer instructions as the steps to watch. Audit people and process steps as closely as the autoclave.

  • 01Of the Joint Commission's list of reasons hospitals miss reprocessing standard IC.02.02.01, at least eight concern people, priorities and management, so competency records and a named process owner belong in the audit as much as sterilizer logs.
  • 02A structured audit tool that scores compliance step by step, as a 2020 BMC Health Services Research study did across 189 reprocessing cycles, shows where training hours should go; the Nepal hospitals scored best on cleaning and storage and worse on the steps between.

From Data to Decisions: Leadership, Trust, and AI in Healthcare with Dr. Julia Rehman

Healthcare leaders often struggle to convert abundant data and AI investments into actionable decisions that improve care. Dr. Julia Rehman emphasizes that effective AI integration requires human judgment in the loop, strong governance frameworks, and frontline staff engagement, especially in resource-constrained settings.

  • 01AI should target specific operational challenges like staffing, readmissions, and bed capacity, with humans retaining decision-making authority.
  • 02Few healthcare organizations have governance structures to ensure accountability, audit trails, bias monitoring, and oversight as AI adoption accelerates.
  • 03Data richness without strategic insight and human judgment informed by experience limits the value of technology investments in healthcare.

Two Radiology Deals Signal Focus on Coverage, Not Scanners

Two Radiology Deals Signal Focus on Coverage, Not Scanners

Colorado Imaging Associates and TRA Medical Imaging announced Sept. 8, 2026 that they are forming Affiliated Radiology to expand physician coverage for a shared health system client, Radiology Business reported. Separately, Align Capital Partners said in late May 2026 it agreed to acquire Boise-based Heritage Imaging, a mobile diagnostic imaging provider operating in 14 states, according to Radiology Business.

  • 01Affiliated Radiology was formed by combining Colorado Imaging Associates and TRA Medical Imaging to expand physician coverage for a shared health system client.
  • 02Heritage Imaging operates mobile diagnostic units across 14 states, providing PET-CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and echocardiography to critical access hospitals and community clinics.
  • 03Health system sourcing teams should request service-level commitments, credentialing procedures, cross-location read routing, and PACS/RIS/EHR integration details before contracting with coverage-focused or mobile imaging arrangements.
