The Business Imperative

Biome is a clinical performance management company focused on helping hospitals and health systems deliver better care to more patients at a lower cost. Their aim is to improve clinical outcomes and eliminate $10 billion of unnecessary cost from the US health system. Biome chose Ascend to upgrade their ability to receive and analyze growing data volumes from hospitals, and grow the types of cardiac procedure information it can process. With Ascend, Biome is also set to increase the number of healthcare providers it can help to recognize opportunities for change that improve their clinical practices and reduce costs.

"Ascend has transformed our data processing capabilities, allowing us to deliver valuable insights based on more data, more rapidly. It has been a game-changer for our business."

Business Results

The adoption of Ascend has brought significant improvements for Biome. The team has achieved faster data processing times, reducing pipeline runtime from 20 hours for each customer, to just three hours for all the data from all customers, while improving reliability. The scalability and flexibility of Ascend allows them to handle more data, meet the increasing demands of their clients, and develop new measures and uncover new performance opportunities for their clients. They are continuously adding new pipelines and building new capabilities, leveraging Ascend’s functionalities to deliver cleaner data, extract valuable insights, and drive cost savings for their clients.

"Ascend has provided us with a new vocabulary of what we can do with our products and data. It has allowed us to contemplate different approaches and think differently about our offerings."

What's Next

Biome’s partnership with Ascend has been pivotal in their mission to transform cardiac healthcare delivery. Ascend enables their existing team to innovate, optimize their pipelines, and explore new data sources far faster. As part of the migration process, Biome will undergo a phase to optimize their data workflows, with a goal to reduce costs and time in their pipelines. In parallel, a separate engineering team is looking at Ascend to unlock more potential for new data products and insights, and deliver greater value to their clients. They are excited about the future possibilities and the ability to make a significant impact on cardiovascular care.

"With Ascend, we have been able to optimize our data pipelines, reducing processing time and enabling us to deliver data products faster. It has accelerated our cycle time and positioned us for future growth and scalability."
