The organizations aim to transform health care into improved health solutions and preventative care informed by data and analytics

Duke Health, an academic medical center, and SAS, a data management and analytics provider, have formalized a letter of intent to explore innovative and collaborative solutions together that will shape the future of health care via informed data and analytics. The two organizations share a vision to develop new cloud-based and AI-powered products, focusing on health care solutions and services for improved care and delivery outcomes, business operations, and health services research.

The intended collaboration aims to leverage SAS’ analytic technologies, particularly SAS Health, and its ability to facilitate development of artificial intelligence capabilities through a scalable platform, improving efficiency and time to insight. The intended collaboration between Duke Health and SAS will support initiatives focused on improving health equity and optimizing health outcomes. Duke Health’s innovative whole-person care model matches SAS’ expertise in the integration of clinical, claims, genomic, and social data.

“The need to transform health care is more urgent than ever, and SAS wants to be at the forefront of this evolution by increasing patient access to technologically advanced care and ultimately improving population health,” said Gail Stephens, Vice President of Health Care and Life Sciences at SAS. “We are eager to move forward with Duke Health and leverage SAS analytics to create a healthier world for all people.”
