About Koan Health

While DT Nguyen was president of MedAssets' revenue cycle and claims management business (now FinThrive), he discovered waste, disorganization, and care disparities driving up the cost of healthcare.

He knew there had to be a better way to manage population health and brought a team of seasoned healthcare engineers, developers, and data scientists together to bring his ideas to life.

In 2012, Koan Health was born to empower ACO leaders and providers with the tools and data-driven insights to deliver better outcomes and lower costs across each population. Our flagship product, Datalyst™, initially provided cost and utilization analytics primarily through claims data and was unmatched in accuracy and quick implementation time.

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

Today, Datalyst™ is the must-have data platform for many of the nation's top ACOs. We've generated over $321 million in Medicare shared savings and are committed to enhancing and developing solutions to help you get the most out of your value-based care programs. Together, let's make a difference in healthcare.

Our Timeline

Constantly evolving

Our name

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

The Koan School placed great emphasis on 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 results and improved health.
