HEOR

Inovalon's Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) solution delivers robust real-world evidence powered by primary source healthcare data and deep research expertise. Designed for life sciences organizations, payers, and other healthcare stakeholders, it enables users to answer critical questions about treatment effectiveness, care costs, and health disparities by drawing on data covering millions of real-world patient experiences, outcomes, and costs.

The platform uses primary source data from over 456 million unique lives, more than 97 billion medical events, 1.1 million physicians, and 724,000 clinical facilities. By linking claims, clinical, and social determinants of health (SDOH) data in a secure, HIPAA-compliant environment, Inovalon HEOR gives researchers and analysts the full picture of patient care across all payer types — enabling high-quality evidence generation to prove value, guide access strategy, and demonstrate the real-world impact of therapies throughout the product lifecycle.

• Patient-Centric Outcomes: Recognize the real-world impact of care to understand which treatments work best and for which patient populations.
• Full Patient Journey Visibility: Reveal care paths, gaps, and social factors that shape outcomes using data linked across payers.
• The Right Populations: Inform study design and pinpoint appropriate patient populations that accurately reflect the real world.
• Trend Tracking Over Time: Identify emerging trends, changing outcomes, and evolving market dynamics to support smarter, faster decisions.
• Timely Insights: Stay ahead of change with regular data refreshes and performance metrics that support fast, informed action.
