FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLUMBUS, Ohio (January 13th, 2009) – Health Care DataWorks, announced today its establishment as an Ohio State University Technology Commercialization Company focused on helping healthcare provider organizations transform their operational performance by leveraging data analytic and business intelligence software tools. Health Care DataWorks has its roots in the Ohio State University Medical Center – a recognized leader in the development and effective use of data analytic and business intelligence tools and software. OSU’s Technology Licensing and Commercialization (TLC) provided early stage expertise in helping commercialize key products developed at the Ohio State University Medical Center.
“Leaders at hospitals and health systems across the country are increasingly under pressure to control their operational costs and improve quality”, said Health Care DataWorks, CEO Dr. Herb Smaltz. “Paradoxically, most find themselves in a sea of data, largely siloed, within multiple systems, yet they are unable to effectively aggregate this data into actionable information which can truly help them improve their performance. Health Care DataWorks’ data analytics and business intelligence software and services provide game-changing capabilities which enable hospitals to vastly advance their operational processes and achieve improved results.”
“We began our data warehousing and data mining efforts at the Ohio State University Medical Center back in 1997” said Health Care DataWorks, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Jyoti Kamal. “Since then our team has created a robust patient centric data model and numerous analytic and business intelligence software applications that have harnessed information to solve organizational problems making us a recognized leader among healthcare provider organizations. As an Ohio State University Technology Commercialization Company, Health Care DataWorks is poised to export these world-class business intelligence capabilities more broadly to hospitals and health systems around the world.”
Health Care DataWorks portfolio includes:
- a comprehensive healthcare provider data model
- digital dashboards and scorecards to assist organizations in measuring performance
- a number of data intensive applications such as the Advanced Screening for Active Protocols (ASAP) application which vastly accelerates the recruitment of patients for clinical trials at research based healthcare organizations
Co-founder, Jeffrey M. Wilkins, who incidentally was also the founder and former CEO of CompuServe, Inc., and is the Chairman of the Board of Advisors of Health Care DataWorks, said, “This is one of the most exciting and potentially transformational technologies to come out of OSU’s commercialization efforts. It can have major impact on health systems everywhere just at the time their performance is becoming one of our nation’s significant points of focus. I’m honored to be assisting such an extraordinary team of technologists in bringing these services to market.”
In early January 2009, Health Care DataWorks, achieved additional validation from TechColumbus, a Columbus Ohio technology start-up incubator organization, who awarded the company with a highly competitive TechGenesis start-up grant. Health Care DataWorks, currently has 6 employees and expects to create at least 20 new jobs within the next 18-24 months.
