Our story

Helping value-based care teams succeed

With more than three decades of experience serving healthcare providers and payers, it was clear that the healthcare system still was fraught with waste, disorganization, and care disparities, driving up the cost of healthcare.

DT Nguyen knew there had to be a better way to manage population health more effectively. DT assembled a team of seasoned healthcare engineers, developers, and data scientists to bring his healthcare technology ideas to market.

In 2012, Koan Health was born to empower value-based care leaders and providers with advanced analytics tools and data-driven insights to deliver better health outcomes and lower costs across each population.

Our population health management software, Datalyst™, initially provided cost and utilization data analytics primarily through healthcare claims data. It was unmatched in health data accuracy and quick implementation time.

In 2017, Koan Health acquired ZirMed's healthcare quality analytics division (now Waystar), expanding our suite of SaaS solutions to help healthcare organizations with every aspect of population health management, from cost and network utilization to quality measures and post-acute care.

Today, Datalyst™ is a must-have population health management software for many of the nation's leading healthcare organizations. We've generated over $500 million in Medicare shared savings and are committed to enhancing and developing solutions to help you maximize the value of your value-based care programs.

With trusted healthcare data and robust population health management analytics, value-based care organizations can inform their care management interventions, enabling healthcare providers to improve the quality of patient care delivered to their patient care populations.

Together, let's make a difference in healthcare.

Koan Health

What our name means

“Koan” honors the philosophy and contributions of Hippocrates, the renowned Greek physician often called the father of medicine. Hippocrates trained physicians in a unique, patient-centered approach to health and healing at his school on the island of Kos, near the western coast of Turkey.

The school emphasized observing and documenting the patient’s family history, environment, and condition. By recording symptoms—like complexion, pulse, fever, pains, movement, and excretions—and treatments in great detail, Hippocrates and his students created valuable records to guide ongoing care and teach new physicians.

In the spirit of Hippocrates, Koan Health creates rich, patient-centered information for optimal patient care results and improved health outcomes.
