More About DART

HDMS developed DART (Data Analysis and Reporting Tool) to provide employers with historical, current, and predictive views of their health data for decision support.

DART does this by consolidating and integrating key health data into a dedicated database, which includes world-class reporting tools.

DART's advanced technology enables user-friendly online reporting, analytical processing, data mining, plan performance management, benchmarking, and predictive analytics.

HDMS also provides a suite of optional reporting and analysis software, as well as analytic consulting services, to help managers better understand and act on the intelligence gained from their health data.

With DART, managers can make more informed decisions, rigorously evaluate company health benefits plans, and support business decision making.

It's never been easier to spot, dig out, and analyze key health plan metrics to save money and increase plan effectiveness. That's the beauty of DART.

It all begins with health data...

Our core competency is obtaining health care data from virtually any system, in any format, and converting it into a usable, accessible database for decision-making support.

We cleanse and transform essential information from any or all of the company's internal data silos, as well as external vendors, better and faster than competitor solutions.

Clients can customize their database from a variety of information sources, including health claims, pharmaceutical claims, enrollment, provider, and specialized data sources. Once created, the database is updated monthly or quarterly as new data becomes available.

The DART database (technically a data mart) requires very little company IT resources to build. It contains only the client's data and we host it in our high-security server facility. Of course, DART is HIPAA compliant.

...to support sophisticated management solutions.

The key function of DART is its comprehensive and easy-to-use online reporting tools. This web-based management reporting solution offers access to health data via any Internet connection.

DART provides reporting flexibility by organizing the data around standard, as well as customized dimensions and measures. Currently, there are over 100 standard report templates.

With its powerful tools, DART delivers the ability to analyze and detect trends and opportunities, reduce costs, and increase efficiencies.

DART also provides the ability to drill down quickly and easily, as well as to conduct "what if" analyses at no additional cost and without waiting for additional consulting support.

The DART solution has been available since 2003 and is currently utilized by large employers under direct contract with HDMS, as well as health plans who in turn provide access to hundreds of their employer accounts.
