SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Catalyst, Inc. ("Health Catalyst," Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced that it has completed its seventh annual and first ever virtual Healthcare Analytics Summit (HAS), with record registration of more than 3,500 attendees.

    --  The Vitalware, LLC ("VitalWare"), transaction has closed, and
        integration is underway of the Yakima, Washington-based provider of
        revenue workflow optimization and analytics SaaS technology solutions
        for health organizations. This is another example of Health Catalyst's
        ability to scale software on top of its cloud-based Data Operating
        System (DOS(TM)). DOS will further enhance the analytics insights made
        available by Vitalware's technology by combining charge and revenue data
        with claims, cost, and quality data. Vitalware's flagship offering is a
        Best in KLAS chargemaster management solution that delivers results for
        the complex regulatory and compliance functions needed by all healthcare
        provider systems.     "As announced on August 11, 2020, we entered into
        an acquisition agreement to acquire Vitalware and expected to close the
        acquisition in Q3 or Q4 of 2020. We are pleased to announce that we
        closed the acquisition on September 1, 2020. We are thrilled to
        formalize the combination of our solutions for the benefit of our
        customers and the industry," said CEO Dan Burton. On its upcoming Q3
        2020 earnings call, Health Catalyst will share the impact of Vitalware
        on its Q3 2020 financial performance, which will not be significant
        given the timing of the acquisition, as well as update its full year
        2020 guidance to include the impact of Vitalware.





    --  Health Catalyst Co-Founder Steve Barlow has returned from his three-year
        full-time volunteer mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
        Saints, having served as Mission President of the Ecuador Quito Mission.
        He has rejoined Health Catalyst's companywide Leadership Team as a
        Senior Vice President, responsible for some of the company's largest
        customer relationships.     Dan Burton said, "We couldn't be more
        excited about Steve's return to Health Catalyst. His energy, dedication
        and commitment to transforming healthcare launched our journey and will
        continue to make us better and stronger. Steve is leading and overseeing
        all aspects of our partnerships with some of our largest and
        longest-standing customers. Steve's extraordinary experience and
        capability enable him to be a critical partner and leader in enabling
        these customers' continued improvement and success."      "My experience
        over the past three years in Ecuador reinforced for me how fortunate I
        am to be in a country with high-quality healthcare," said Barlow. "It
        has been invigorating to return to Health Catalyst and witness the
        incredible growth and expansion that has occurred over the past few
        years. We are better positioned than ever before to achieve our mission
        of being the catalyst for massive, measurable, data-informed healthcare
        improvement. I am grateful to be reunited with our longstanding team
        members and customers, and I'm thrilled to get to know and work
        alongside our new customers and teammates in this critical work."




    --  Effective October 1, 2020, Chief Technology Officer Dale Sanders will be
        transitioning to a Senior Advisor role with Health Catalyst, and the
        company is pleased to announce that one of Dale's longtime protégés
        and colleagues, Bryan Hinton, will serve as Health Catalyst's next Chief
        Technology Officer. Hinton joined Health Catalyst in 2012 and currently
        serves as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the DOS
        Platform Business. He will continue to lead this business in addition to
        assuming the responsibilities of CTO. He has been instrumental in the
        development and integration of DOS and has been working directly with
        Dale and other technology leaders at Health Catalyst for many years. His
        experience prior to joining Health Catalyst includes four years with the
        .NET Development Center of Excellence at The Church of Jesus Christ of
        Latter-Day Saints, where he established the architectural guidance of
        all .NET projects. Previously, at Intel, he was responsible for the
        development and implementation of Intel's factory data warehouse product
        installed at Intel global factories. Hinton graduated from Brigham Young
        University with a BS in Computer Science.    "Dale has been central to
        Health Catalyst's growth and success and we are grateful to him for his
        many years of service to our company and to the broader healthcare
        industry," said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. "Thanks to Dale's
        vision, passion, innovative thinking and broad-based industry experience
        and perspective, Health Catalyst has grown from a handful of clients to
        a large number of organizations relying on us as their digital
        transformation partner, helping the healthcare ecosystem to constantly
        learn and improve. Dale's technology leadership was critical to the
        company's overall maturation, and I am convinced that we could not have
        grown and scaled as we have without Dale's foundational leadership and
        contributions. We are grateful to continue our association with Dale in
        the months and years ahead in his next role as a Senior Advisor to the
        company." Burton added, "We are thrilled to see Bryan Hinton take on
        this added role after having demonstrated his technology leadership
        prowess during the course of his tenure at Health Catalyst and having
        been mentored by Dale for many years. Bryan is well-prepared and ready
        for this additional responsibility, and we extend our congratulations to
        him."      "I feel like a parent saying goodbye to my kids at their
        college graduation," said Dale Sanders. "Many of the concepts we first
        developed and applied over 20 years ago at Intermountain and then later
        refined during my tenure as CIO at Northwestern had a big influence on
        our technology and products at Health Catalyst. The vision of the Data
        Operating System and its application ecosystem originated in the
        real-world healthcare operations and research trenches of Northwestern.
        At Health Catalyst, I had the wonderful opportunity to lead the teams
        who made that vision a reality for the benefit of the entire industry.
        None of it would have been possible without Bryan Hinton leading the DOS
        team and Eric Just and Dan Unger leading the application development
        teams. We've been working side-by-side for many years to make the vision
        real. Bryan is the consummate modern CTO from outside of healthcare that
        healthcare needs. I've always described Eric as having a manufacturing
        engineer's mindset with a healthcare data and software engineer's
        skills, with Dan Unger leveraging his deep domain expertise in financial
        transformation to oversee the development of meaningful applications and
        solutions so relevant for CFOs. I'm honored and thrilled to step aside
        and turn the future over to their very capable hands. Under their
        leadership, the best is yet to come for Health Catalyst's technology."
