Astrata Launches from UPMC

January 4, 2021, PITTSBURGH, PA — As the health insurance industry shifts to digitally measured quality improvement programs, UPMC Enterprises has incubated and launched Astrata, a digital health care quality company. Astrata uses advanced analytics and natural language processing (NLP) to improve value-based care. 

Astrata and its team of data scientists developed cloud-based NLP technologies that allow health insurers to more efficiently analyze unstructured clinical data. This transformative solution generates real-time insights that more accurately assess the quality of care and population health against Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) measures. Both government and private healthcare payors are increasingly aligning provider compensation to such measures.
