We were founded by Verisk Analytics, the premier provider of risk assessment services across markets. Our development has been guided by physicians and scientists, who bring first-hand knowledge to the science of risk in healthcare.
A number of strategic acquisitions of companies with deep expertise in healthcare data analytics and risk assessment, including D2Explorer, DxCG, Urix and TierMed have contributed to the expansion of our product offering. We continue to seek new opportunities to provide our healthcare industry clients with cutting-edge tools and expertise that will guide their efforts to manage risk, reduce costs and improve care.
Verisk Health is headquartered in Waltham, MA, with offices in Minnesota, Utah, Virginia, North Carolina and Kathmandu.
The lines on our website represent the unpredictable, ever-changing landscape of healthcare, which we help clients to understand and navigate.
The lines also represent the healthcare data that we excel in collecting, cleaning, analyzing, benchmarking, interpreting and reporting – enabling clients to find opportunities to mitigate risk, reduce costs and improve the quality of care.
Controlling healthcare costs and outcomes at both the individual and population level ultimately depends on identifying, measuring and mitigating health risks.
We excel at helping clients to understand the risks shown by their data so that specific opportunities to affect costs and outcomes are revealed and can be acted upon.
The term "sightlines" is used by architects and refers to seeing clearly across a space from different vantage points.
We named our powerful suite of analytics software "Sightlines™" because it provides healthcare audiences with a clearer view of their data, regardless of vantage point.
