Avant-garde Health is a Boston-based healthcare data analytics company whose CareMeasurement platform helps hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and physicians measure the true cost, quality and processes of surgical care - then turn those insights into measurable savings and better patient outcomes. Founded in 2014 out of value-based care research at Harvard Business School, the company applies Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) across EMR, financial, claims and patient-reported outcomes data to reveal what was previously invisible inside the operating room and the care pathway around it.
Derek Haas is the founder and CEO of Avant-garde Health, a Boston healthtech company that helps hospitals and surgeons see the true cost and quality of the care they deliver. He calls himself the black sheep of a family full of doctors. Instead of practicing medicine, he turned Harvard Business School research with professors Michael Porter and Bob Kaplan into a company that put a price tag and an outcome score on every surgical episode. He has co-authored nine Harvard Business Review articles and built a software platform, CareMeasurement, that now spans surgical and procedure-based care.
