We recently sat down with one of our long-term Assign customers, who is the Chief of Hospital Medicine at a large healthcare system. We asked:
- What are your goals this year?
- How can we be a better partner to you?
- What do you need from us that would make a big difference to your day-to-day life?
He told us about his critical priorities this year such as reducing length of stay, creating more access to care, reducing the admin work that physicians have to do and letting them focus on clinical duties. The conversation quickly pivoted to talking about how we can help with those goals – and one key area emerged: they wanted to know more. They wanted to be able to quickly see how their department was performing – and not have to wait a month for a data scientist to pull a report. They wanted to compare benchmarks by provider and then drill into the reasons why the metrics were different: why does provider A have a higher discharge rate? Why do provider B’s charges have a higher rate of denial?
Since they’re already using our patient assignment and charge capture solutions, we already had a lot of data in our system – we just needed to make it user-friendly and accessible to them. So we got to work.
Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Hospital Medicine Analytics—a powerful, real-time analytics solution designed to help hospital medicine leaders make faster, smarter decisions.
Built in collaboration with our Ignite Customer Advisory Board—which includes leaders from Baptist Health Medical Group, Valley Hospitalist Medical Group, University of Rochester – Highland Hospital, Banner Medical Group, and BayCare—this new platform was designed to reflect the metrics that truly matter to hospitalist teams.
What’s Inside Hospital Medicine Analytics?
The initial rollout features four essential dashboards that give teams an instant snapshot of operational performance:
- AM Assignment Counts
- Admissions and Discharges
- Assigned Providers per Hospitalization
- Average Patients per Provider
These dashboards help leaders monitor patient volumes, track provider workloads, and identify trends—without digging through spreadsheets or waiting on lagging reports.
But we’re just getting started.
Coming soon: we’re adding more reports and customization options so you can easily see what matters most to you. You’ll have access to deeper insights with dashboards focused on discharge efficiency, length of stay, 30-day readmissions, and more.
Real-Time Visibility, Right When You Need It
Fully integrated with our Assign platform, Hospital Medicine Analytics taps into real-time data from patient assignment and census activity—delivering up-to-the-minute insights that hospitalists can act on immediately.
Here’s what leaders can do:
- Adjust provider assignments in real time as census shifts
- Benchmark discharge rates and provider volumes
- Spot historical trends to guide future staffing decisions
As our CEO, Malachi Charbonneau, puts it:
“This gives hospital medicine leaders the clarity and control they need—without getting buried in spreadsheets. The right information at the right time leads to better planning, better resource use, and ultimately, better care.”
