Medpather is software as a service (SAAS) data platform that uses an automated location tracking system and computer algorithms to automatically record process maps and calculate costs for an individual patient or provider while they traverse the health care setting. Unlike LEAN or time-driven activity-based costing methods in the literature, this process automatically and transparently creates precise cost accounting data – not estimates. When we combine this with our advanced analytics, Medpather becomes the launching point for cost-based enterprise resource planning in healthcare and enables our customers to manage continued profitability under both fee-for-service and value-based care systems. Medpather does not require expensive or disruptive integration with legacy IT systems.
