Biome Analytics is an end-to-end performance improvement platform that helps hospitals and health systems use data to strengthen clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability.
Biome identifies variation in performance, pinpoints root-causes, and guides teams through targeted, data-driven actions that improve quality, efficiency, and financial performance across the service line.
Unlike static dashboards or reports, Biome combines advanced analytics with embedded performance improvement expertise. We don’t just show data, we partner with your teams to translate insights into measurable action that drives quality improvement and margin impact.
Biome supports hospitals, health systems, and service-line programs nationwide. Users include clinicians, administrators, quality leaders, and executives focused on data-driven performance improvement.
Biome will inform and drive highly targeted performance improvement initiatives that may impact clinical workflows and/or documentation.
No. Expert performance improvement support is included in every Biome engagement. Our team works alongside your clinical, quality, and administrative leaders to interpret data, identify opportunities, and support implementation, without add-on service fees.
No. Biome does not require direct EMR integration to operate. The platform works with administrative, registry, and cost accounting data from their sources. This enables us to deliver key insights in days, not months, and avoids lengthy EMR integration requirements. Optional EMR-based feeds can be added to support deeper clinical insights as needed.
Data can be refreshed quarterly, monthly, or more frequently depending on your data feeds. All data undergo validation to ensure leaders are working from timely, reliable insights.
Most Biome implementations take approximately four weeks from data submission to insights being delivered, depending on data complexity and the modules selected.
For centers experienced in extracting comparable financial data, the initial effort typically requires approximately 20 hours and may be further streamlined. Teams that are new to this process or rely on external partners may require up to 40 hours for initial setup. Once established, quarterly data submission requires less than one hour of effort from a Service Line Business or Data Analyst per quarter.
No. Typically, no new resources or FTEs are required to implement Biome. In fact, Biome augments existing staffing resources, saving an average of 8-12 hours per week per initiative.

Every Biome engagement includes comprehensive, ongoing support to ensure teams can confidently use the platform and act on insights. Support services include:

  • Embedded performance improvement partnership to help interpret data and drive action
  • Access to our customer support portal for submitting and tracking requests
  • Live support for urgent or time-sensitive issues
  • A searchable FAQ and knowledge base with guided help for common user questions

Our goal is to provide responsive, practical support that enables sustained improvement- not just access to analytics.
