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 375,000 members and 20+ data feeds, while maintaining full visibility into how data is transformed and enriched for population health use cases.
The Challenge
Prior platforms made it difficult for MultiCare's teams to reconcile external sources of truth or customize the data foundation for their specific needs. The organization considered building its own platform, but that would have required a long, resource-intensive development effort.
The Tuva Approach
Tuva's open-source data model and prebuilt analytics marts gave MultiCare a transparent starting point for transforming and enriching its data. The team could focus on the workflows and customizations that mattered to its programs instead of rebuilding the foundational transformation layer.
"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." – Anna Taylor, AVP of Population Health and Value-Based Care, MultiCare
The Outcome
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 more than $500,000 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.
