By providing AHA members visibility into metrics related to denials, reimbursement and claims processing, we are helping them identify where to focus their improvement strategies.

After two years of development, ATEX Financial, LTD announces the launch of an operational and financial metrics dashboard exclusively offered through the American Hospital Association. The AHA Vitality Index is a cloud-based, benchmarking solution powered by aggregated, de-identified claims data that comes directly from hospitals.
The AHA Vitality Index is divided into four quadrants to help hospitals answers these questions:
Velocity – Are your claims paid faster than your peers?
Variety – Are payers reimbursing for your severity compared to other payers?
Volatility – Do payers deny you the same compared to your peers?
Value – Is your reimbursement fair and equitable?
“By providing AHA members visibility into metrics related to denials, reimbursement and claims processing, we are helping them identify where to focus their improvement strategies,” says Gloria Kupferman, Chief Data Strategy Officer, AHA. “AHA Vitality Index is a solution that is central to our mission of helping our members improve performance in order to enhance care delivery.”
Founded by entrepreneurs looking to disrupt the healthcare industry, ATEX created a data CO-OP for hospitals whereby they can voluntarily submit their raw claims data to be analyzed with the results anonymously shared with each other. Hospitals can see how they perform related to their peers, understand opportunities for improvement, and deploy critical resources to make the greatest impact.
“The hospital field continues to be challenged by fragmented data. Hospitals need to unite and anonymously aggregate their claims to answer questions that were previously thought as unanswerable,” said Tim Estes, Co-CEO.
“Hospitals need access to unbiased metrics to know what ‘Better’ is.” Travis Gentry, Co-CEO explains, “The AHA Vitality Index provides hospitals with metrics based on data directly from hospitals. The chain of custody is never broken, and no third-party data is ever used. This is data from hospitals for hospitals.”
