Infor launches population health analytics to support data-driven care

As part of Infor’s April product release, we’re introducing Infor™ Population Health Analytics (IPHA), a new cloud-based analytics platform designed to help healthcare providers, payer organizations, and life sciences companies generate population-level insights.

IPHA extends Infor’s award-winning integration and interoperability capabilities—including Infor Cloverleaf™ and Infor Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) services—by applying trusted, regulatory-grade analytics to interoperable clinical data. The result is a scalable way to transform standardized healthcare data into insights that can power value-based care programs, quality reporting, and research initiatives.

“For years, population health has focused on measurement without fundamentally changing execution. As value-based care expands, that approach is no longer sufficient. Organizations need population health capabilities that support timely action, not just retrospective insight. IPHA was designed to help teams act early enough to influence outcomes,” said Amanda Merritt, Vice President of Service Industries Product & Innovation at Infor.

With the future of population health in mind, Infor built Population Health Analytics to give organizations an easier, more scalable way to manage population health.

A new approach to population health analytics

IPHA enables organizations to move beyond end-of-period reporting and measure population performance continuously. By applying transparent, regulatory-grade logic to interoperable clinical data, IPHA transforms raw data into trusted insights that support value-based care programs, automate and validate quality reporting without manual chart review, and enable population-level analysis and research.

Key capabilities include:

• Clear visibility into quality performance, care gaps, and population trends
• Better targeting of interventions through cohort creation and analysis
• Simplified reporting for regulatory programs like MSSP with auditable logic
• Continuous performance tracking with the ability to re-run measures throughout the year
• Standards-based interoperability supporting FHIR, HL7, C-CDA, and USCDI

Key terms: Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP); Health Level Seven (HL7); Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA); United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI).

Rather than operating as another siloed analytics tool, IPHA functions as the analytics and measurement layer within a broader healthcare data ecosystem, complementing existing systems and workflows while helping teams identify risk, prioritize action, and intervene earlier.

Already in action: Built with MultiCare Health System

These capabilities are already live. IPHA was developed in collaboration with MultiCare Health System, a leading accountable care organization supporting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) MSSP reporting across multiple electronic health record (EHR) platforms, including Epic, NextGen, and eClinicalWorks. Prior to IPHA, MultiCare Health System relied on manual chart reviews and inconsistent measurement logic, limiting visibility into performance and making it difficult to scale reporting.

Using IPHA’s cloud-native analytics and interoperable data foundation, MultiCare Health System eliminated manual validation steps and improved trust in quality results. The organization reduced quality reporting effort by 3.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) over the course of the project. While MultiCare Health System initially measured performance across a sample of patient lives using web interface methods, the organization has since scaled and automated reporting to more than 90,000 lives.

"By using open standards like FHIR and Infor's cloud-native tools, we've been able to streamline previously manual processes. This collaboration supports our ability to scale reporting and gain more timely insights, helping us address care gaps and better support providers and patients in our region,” said Anna Taylor, Assistant Vice President, Population Health & Value Based Care at MultiCare Connected Care.

A future-ready foundation for population health

IPHA is designed to evolve as interoperability matures and the demand for trusted population-level intelligence expands. Over time, the platform will extend beyond retrospective measurement toward more event-driven, predictive, and decision-oriented intelligence, without requiring organizations to re-architect their data strategy.

For healthcare providers, payer organizations, and life sciences companies looking to move population health from measurement to execution, whether for value-based care programs, clinical research, or emerging models of care delivery, Infor Population Health Analytics provides a trusted, scalable foundation to support that shift.
