Avant-garde Health

Avant-garde Health is a healthcare data analytics company founded in 2014 out of Harvard Business School's value-based health care delivery research. The platform partners with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician groups to provide granular insight into the true costs and outcomes of perioperative and surgical care. By ingesting EMR, financial, and patient-reported outcomes data and combining it with claims data and proprietary Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) algorithms, Avant-garde enables clinical and operational leaders to benchmark performance, identify cost reduction opportunities, and develop actionable improvement playbooks. Clients have achieved results such as $2,300 reductions in average cost per case, 15% decreases in 90-day readmission rates, and 44% reductions in length of stay.
