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.

Oura's $625 million Counsel Health deal puts a ring maker in the triage business

Oura's $625 million Counsel Health deal puts a ring maker in the triage business

Oura is buying Counsel Health for $625 million in cash, bringing an AI chat service with on-demand physicians in-house. Counsel will keep selling triage and virtual care to health plans, health systems and employers. Outcomes data is still to come.

  • 01For $625 million in cash, a smart ring company now owns a service pitched to health plans as a replacement for the nurse triage line.
  • 02Counsel's website offers a free conversation with Counsel AI and lets users add a doctor for $29, a public reference point benefits teams could use when comparing virtual care costs.
  • 03The evidence behind the combined model is member satisfaction (4.6 out of 5) and self-reported surveys; clinical outcomes and cost results are the numbers that would confirm it.

Ohio State–Microsoft deal, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% of storage/compute to Azure

Ohio State–Microsoft deal, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% of storage/compute to Azure

Ohio State University and Microsoft’s five-year partnership, reported by outlets at $250 million, is largely infrastructure: targeting a shift of roughly 70% to 80% of storage and computing to Azure and building a shared data layer. Note-drafting AI already runs. Smart-room features for patients come later and depend on that foundation.

  • 01The only part of the Ohio State and Microsoft deal with published results is AI note drafting, which saved up to four minutes per visit in Wexner's 2024 pilot.
  • 02Smart-room capabilities (such as personalized lighting) depend on a shared data layer whose high-level design is complete; early measurable returns may show up first in OR and staffing forecasts.
  • 03Health systems weighing a similar platform deal should ask how the headline value breaks down, which workloads move first and whether the cloud copy of the EHR is a backup or the primary record.

Just 16% of AI-using healthcare organizations fully document model checks after launch, CHIME finds

Just 16% of AI-using healthcare organizations fully document model checks after launch, CHIME finds

CHIME's 2026 Digital Health Most Wired report finds 93.2% of surveyed healthcare organizations use AI. Full generative AI adoption nearly doubled in a year, to 54.8%. Oversight trails: only 16.4% of AI users fully document model monitoring after deployment, making governance the next job for hospital IT leaders.

  • 01Generative AI full adoption went from 31.0% to 54.8% of surveyed healthcare organizations in one year, while only 16.4% of AI users have fully documented processes for monitoring models after launch.
  • 02Organizations that test failover are about twice as likely to restore all critical systems within four hours (45.7% vs. 23.5%), a correlation CHIME reports that highlights where performance differs.
  • 03Smaller organizations trail on prior authorization automation, 28.9% against 49.4% overall, and CMS payer API requirements take effect in January 2027.
