Mercy Health is expanding its partisanship with Explorys,a Cleveland Clinic spinoff and data analytics company that will help the health system better track a number of patient efforts, including ACOs, Medicare Advantage and its own employee health plan.

It will also include HealthSpan, which includes commercial health plans, Medicare and Medicaid plans, and serves big portions of Ohio. The health system first joined the Explorys Network in 2011 and has since deployed the company’s cloud-based analytics platform to all of its market, which includes 23 hospitals and more than 50 care coordinators, to identify and close gaps in care for the populations it serves.

Mercy said the big data effort with Explorys has complimented its EMR system to better tracks its patients. The platform, according to Ohio-based Explorys, helps with population assessment, contract analytics, population health management registries, integrated workflow, quality measures, performance dashboards, and specialized reports. Designed as configurable templates, the frameworks support commercial and public ACOs, Medicare Advantage programs, and pay-for-performance contracts.

Mercy Health, formerly known as Catholic Health Partners,  will also utilize the Explorys risk models for both its commercial and Medicare populations.

“As the healthcare industry shifts from a fee-for-service to a value-based model of care, few organizations have kept pace while continuing to innovate like Mercy Health has,” said Stephen McHale, Explorys CEO, in a statement.

Explorys, founded in 2009, said its platform has been adopted by 23 major integrated healthcare systems with 315 billion data elements, 50 million unique cared-for-lives, 360 hospitals, and 317,000 providers.
