Real-World Data
Data You Can Trust. Results You Can Count On.
The Power of BHI Data
When you need to demonstrate the value, safety, and efficacy of drugs, products, or services, you need access to reliable real-world data. Yet many vendors’ data is compromised by a lack of continuous enrollment, limited geographic representation, latency, gaps in individual patient journeys, inconsistent formatting, and other issues.
BHI’s fully adjudicated, closed-claims database offers a unique blend of attributes:
- Size and geographic representation of patient cohorts
- Continuous patient enrollment
- Consistency and stability of data contributors
- High-quality financial fields
- Consistent formatting
- Frequency of updates
It’s the same data trusted to power health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) and other analytics across the enterprise by leading life science, medical device, payer, and digital health companies.

How is BHI's Data Different?
Spanning more than 13 years of closed-claims activity, our proprietary database offers regularly updated longitudinal medical and pharmacy claims data spanning the continuum of care. Data is refreshed monthly, and ready within 60 days after claims adjudication.

Superior Data Quality and Timeliness
Our single data-model submission platform assures uniformity and timeliness, eliminating the formatting and reliability issues of multiple-vendor solutions. Our data then undergoes four levels of quality and integrity validation, plus actuarial certification by Milliman. This results in a complete view of patients’ diagnoses, procedures, and drug regimens, ready for analytics.
While many closed-claims data vendors build data on a fixed schedule, we pull data for customers as needed. We also refresh our data monthly, with updates available within 60 days of claims adjudication, minimizing data latency.

BHI's Solutions to Your Challenges
Our data solutions can augment your analytics and help you navigate the changing landscape of healthcare.
MARKET ACCESS
Problem – With an ever-growing list of therapies, interventions, and care approaches, payers are increasingly discerning about what they will reimburse.
UNMET PATIENT NEEDS
Problem – The growing number of treatment options for any condition makes it difficult to understand the complex care journeys of patients and identify their unmet needs.
CLINICAL TRIAL RECRUITMENT
Problem – Our database combines strong continuous enrollment with nationwide provider information to help you identify health systems and providers with potentially protocol-eligible patients.
REAL-WORLD RESEARCH
Problem – Real-world outcomes are as important as those recorded in randomized control trials, but it’s difficult to identify patients and collect reliable real-world data about them.
