How MultiCare Transformed Its Population Health Analytics Platform

MultiCare Connected Care manages a large value-based care population and needed a platform that could scale while remaining transparent and adaptable for internal analytics teams.

With Tuva, MultiCare supports analytics across more than 400,000 members and 20+ data feeds, while maintaining full visibility into how data is transformed and enriched for population health use cases.

"With prior data platforms, our teams lacked transparency, which inhibited our ability to reconcile and validate external sources of truth, and customizing other platforms for our specific needs proved difficult," said Anna Taylor, associate vice president of Population Health and Value-based Care at MultiCare. "We thought we needed to build our own platform to address this. However, upon discovering Tuva Health's open-source platform, it became clear that they could help us achieve our goals more quickly and at a fraction of the cost. Their pre-built data marts for transforming and enriching data allowed us to bypass the lengthy development phase and focus on customization. This enables us to build a system that can adapt to the pace of change, ensuring that the platform remains relevant and effective as the healthcare landscape evolves."

The results for MultiCare centered on three outcomes: significant cost savings, faster customization to support real operational needs, and greater trust in the data through end-to-end transparency.

Tuva reduced MultiCare's data platform spend by over $600K per year, while enabling the team to avoid a long, resource-intensive platform build from scratch.

Because the platform is open and auditable, MultiCare can continuously adapt analytics workflows as requirements evolve across contracts, measures, and care delivery models.
