Foundation Management Services Chooses Datalytics

September 15, 2010

Datalytics LLC and Foundation Management Services, Inc. (FMS) announced jointly today that FMS has selected Datalytics to provide its data warehouse for home health care data analysis. “We’re excited about the analytical capabilities that the data warehouse will provide,” said Tom Cini, Director of Business Development for FMS. “As a manager of multiple home health entities, we realize the benefits of a consistent operational dashboard across all our companies. We also value the Datalytics architecture that makes it easy for end-users to modify their own data views.”

“FMS is an ideal client,” said Eric Odom, Managing Director of Datalytics. “The leadership team recognizes that our solution is a powerful tool that can help them not only answer questions, but also discover the right questions to ask.” The data warehouse will integrate data from FMS’s patient care application as well as its Honeywell LifeStream database, providing a unified view of patient and business data across both data sources. “Having the LifeStream data integrated into the data warehouse will allow us to compare our telemonitor patients versus non-telemonitor and effectively measure the rate of prevention in re-hospitalization,” said Cini.

FMS expects to link in data from its financial reporting database during a future phase of the project. “The financial integration can provide true episodic costing based on the most recent actual cost data, not just estimates that were manually entered 6 months or a year ago,” said Odom.

Both companies are looking forward to working together on additional data and technology projects. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
