About The Customer
Verato is a startup in the healthcare industry, specializing in patient identity resolution and master person index. The company uses a unique cloud-based solution that employs algorithms to match vendor databases with patient data, solving millions of identity queries every day. This solution helps hospitals match medical records and patient data with greater accuracy, improving patient care. Verato is an emerging technology in the healthcare market, with a unique product that traditional master person index solutions cannot quickly scale to meet today's healthcare demands. The company is a disrupter on a mission to help healthcare delivery organizations improve care coordination for and engagement of their patients.
The Challenge
Verato, a startup specializing in patient identity resolution and master person index, recognized the need for higher-quality data in the healthcare market. The company uses a unique cloud-based solution that employs algorithms, or Referential Matching, to match vendor databases with patient data. This solution helps hospitals match medical records and patient data with greater accuracy, improving patient care. However, Verato faced a significant challenge in analyzing vast volumes of patient identity data. The company had no standard tool in place to analyze millions of records quickly and efficiently. Much of the work was being done in Python scripts, which did not allow for ad-hoc data analysis. Furthermore, Verato had to process ad-hoc requests on tight deadlines, with each customer providing 600 million rows of data. The company needed a solution that could automate workflows, process data inputs in a timely fashion, and connect to their Slack files and Mongo database.
The Solution
Verato found its solution in Alteryx, a data analytics platform that could handle large amounts of data. Alteryx's easy usability and repeatability through automated workflows gave Verato the confidence that they had found the right solution. The platform allowed Verato to build workflows that extracted data from their data sources, enabling the team to automate their processes. This automation allowed the team to plan workflows in advance, knowing that they would get the answers they needed to customer questions and patient data with ease and efficiency. Alteryx's drag-and-drop functionality eliminated the need for long SQL or Python scripts, making it easy to use on a daily basis. Additionally, the Alteryx Community and customer support provided invaluable training and troubleshooting, enabling Verato's team to move forward with their mission.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Alteryx has brought significant operational benefits to Verato. The automation of workflows has allowed the team to plan in advance with confidence, knowing that they will get the answers they need to customer questions and patient data with ease and efficiency. The drag-and-drop functionality of Alteryx has eliminated the need for long SQL or Python scripts, making it easy to use on a daily basis. The support and training from the Alteryx Community and customer support have been invaluable, enabling the team to move forward with their mission. Verato was ranked #1 in Enterprise Master Patient Index in the 2019 Black Book survey, a success they attribute in part to Alteryx. Looking forward, Verato plans to continue helping hospitals match up patient identity data with increased speed and accuracy, and to further leverage the capabilities of Alteryx to automate their projects from end-to-end.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced the time in finding answers to customer questions from weeks to just hours
  • Enabled 5-6 analysts to handle up to 10 customer projects at once without issue
  • Prevented the need to hire at least 5 analysts with SQL knowledge, saving time and money
