Welcome to Spectral Health
Welcome to the official documentation and blog for Spectral Health! Here you will find guides and articles about our mission to bring transparency to healthcare financial data.
Unlocking Healthcare’s Best-Kept Secret
The federal government publishes the country’s most valuable hospital data: the Healthcare Cost Report Information System (HCRIS). This massive dataset contains details on revenue, costs, staffing, and patient volumes for every hospital in the nation, stretching back to mid 1990s. While it’s a goldmine for strategic decisions, its size and complexity make it nearly impossible for most people to use.
Spectral Health was built to fix this.
We unlock the full potential of HCRIS, allowing anyone to ask plain-English questions and get instant, accurate answers. No SQL skills or deep Medicare knowledge required.
- Get instant benchmarks and analysis.
- Visualize complex data with charts.
- Download files for your own reports.
