A Brief History of Datalytics®
Datalytics LLC was created in 2008 by industry veterans of the health care and software industries. The founders perceived 2 major needs in the market:
- Small and mid-sized health care agencies with limited understanding of operational technology, being pushed by government regulations to adopt expensive new technologies such as EMR;
- Mid-size and larger agencies with substantial IT investments, failing to extract full value from those investments.
Datalytics serves these two segments,
- developing low-cost, high-value technology solutions that provide immediate operational benefits to agencies of any size;
- helping larger agencies realize the incredible value and transformational potential of the data locked away in their various operating applications.
