San Francisco – Sept. 14, 2015 – Saama today announced the pilot of Saama Patient Experience QuickStart, a solution powered by the Salesforce Wave Analytics Platform. Today’s “consumerization” of healthcare allows providers and executives to pay close attention to what patients feel and think about hospital organizations and services. The patient experience — as measured by mandated surveys — is also directly responsible for 30% of Medicare reimbursement revenue, the result of Medicare’s Value-based Purchasing program. Going forward, the success of healthcare organizations will heavily depend on internalizing patient experience and sentiment into everyday decision-making, just as is happening for nearly every other industry including retail, banking, insurance, finance and technology.
Saama Patient Experience Quickstart is built on the Wave Analytics Platform, which brings together a dynamic user experience, indexed search and a high-speed query processing engine, making it possible for healthcare executives to analyze all relevant patient sentiment and data sets together along with key hospital objective metrics and government data. These “narrative data assets” provide new perspectives and complete patient story lines never before available to the healthcare industry. With interactive and customizable dashboards, users can explore new insights that can have a huge impact on the decisions that healthcare executives have to make today. Saama Patient Experience QuickStart unlocks key insights for any healthcare organization, providing:
- A holistic view of patient care and valuable insights about patients generated in near real-time for Operations, Quality, Patient Experience Officers and Marketing to act upon with specific intervention programs.
- A competitive edge to hospitals invested in improving their patient experience.

- “The Saama Patient Experience QuickStart running on the Salesforce Wave Analytics platform provides unprecedented insights into patients’ hospital experience,” says Chris LaBruna, Chief Revenue Officer at Saama. “Improving a hospital’s HCAHPS scores allows for faster and greater reimbursements to hospitals from Medicare programs.
