Health Catalyst Inc., a South Jordan provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KPI Ninja, a Lincoln, Nebraska-based marketer of interoperability solutions and population health analytics.

Health Catalyst said it believes KPI Ninja’s event-driven data processing capabilities is a natural complement to Health Catalyst’s Data Operating System Platform and will empower customers with the ability to build and customize new services, clinical solutions and operational tools around their core care systems, without the major refactoring and processing typically required of these systems.

“We anticipate that these attributes, together with Health Catalyst, will help ensure data is ready to power insights at every step of the decision-making process, allowing customers to see results faster with greater cost efficiency,” a Heath Catalyst release said.

“KPI Ninja’s powerful and flexible event-driven streaming capability strengthen our ability to offer innovative solutions within the healthcare data and analytics technology ecosystem and our ability to support healthcare organizations on their clinical, financial, and operational improvement journeys,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “We look forward to welcoming every current KPI Ninja team member to Health Catalyst, and we are committed to supporting, as the top-priority, the current team’s efforts to continue to deliver these tremendous solutions, consistently, and without interruption or disruption, to KPI Ninja’s current clients.”

“Both Health Catalyst and KPI Ninja share a common vision of advancing healthcare through arming health with data-driven insights,” said Vineeth Yeddula, CEO of KPI Ninja.

Founded in 2008, Health Catalyst employs about 1,000 people.
