Bringing best practice in data analytics to healthcare.

Gain insight on the populations you serve to improve health outcomes. Rich data combined with predictive modelling, demographic trends and behavioural analytics can help improve operational efficiencies, inform decisions, enhance communications and provide a better standard of healthcare.

Understand your patient populations

Create holistic views of patient groups and improve healthcare outcomes by tracking health trends and predicting risks. Use data mining and predictive analytics to identify high risk communities and their attitudes towards health-related topics, including self-perceived physical and mental health, life and work stress levels, disease-state, health care utilization, body mass index and fitness levels.

Make stronger site location decisions

Make informed site, location and capital investment decisions using analytics tools such as GIS mapping, geocoding and spatial analytics. Identify underserved areas in your communities and demand for services such as dental, physiotherapy, senior care or family health. Locate high-priority areas for flu shot clinics, or monitor areas for purchase trends of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Engage patients in wellness programs

Improve the effectiveness and engagement of your outreach programs and campaign efforts. By understanding attitudes towards immunizations, preventive treatments and cigarette smoking, you can create messaging that promotes healthier behaviours and enhances lives. Better your returns on media spend by determining where to focus marketing efforts.

    “Due to the growth of our communities we are adding a second hospital. As we plan for this growth journey, we are working to deeply understand our communities’ evolving wants and needs, supported by Environics Analytics’ data. The context about our communities we have been able to provide to our clinical leaders is enabling them to plan for services that will meet the healthcare needs of our communities and incorporate what matters to our patients and their families.”

    “Environics Analytics gave us a unique lens to understand our donors and determine the best way to invest our fundraising dollars. It’s one thing to buy an ad that asks for money; it’s another to have a person tell your story in a way that touches the heart of your audience. Our donors are as diverse as the colours of the rainbow. But without this information in where to start, we couldn’t have been successful.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Administered by Statistics Canada, the Canadian Community Health Survey collects detailed information on the health status of Canadians. CommunityHealth takes those survey results and provides marketers with approximately 600 variables to better understand and target Canadians based on health-related topics, including their ailments, health care utilization, self-esteem, body mass index and fitness level. This dataset is based on more than 120,000 respondents, aged 12 and older, from households across all provinces and territories. See variable lists

  • Any organization interested in better understanding the health propensities of the population in an area or health-related attitudes and activities of Canadians, can benefit from the CommunityHealth data. Municipal public health departments can identify high-priority locations for flu-shots. Consumer packaged goods companies can identify the physical activities their consumers prefer and then determine optimal cross-promotional opportunities and event sponsorship proposals. Pharmaceutical companies looking to understand usage potential for a new drug can use CommunityHealth to find PRIZMsegments where individuals are more likely to suffer from that condition. This analysis can help determine where to focus marketing efforts and how to craft effective messaging. Contact us to discuss your opportunities

  • Data collection in the healthcare industry is allowing organizations to better understand the needs of the patients. By using analytics tools such as predictive modelling, you can predict with a high degree of accuracy areas that have the greatest prevalence of a condition such as diabetes or asthma. You can then maximize the returns on your budgets by personalizing communications regarding prevention and treatment programs. Combining your data with our databases can help you define the right audience, understand their attitudes and behaviours and create targeted messaging sent through the optimal channels. See consumer insights.

  • Whether you are a pharmacist, physiotherapist or dentist, mobility data can be instrumental in site selection by identifying areas of higher potential value based on visitor patterns. Mobility analytics can enhance what you know about visitors to an area: where they come from, competitors they visit and how competitive trade areas interact. Mobility data is an anonymized, permission-based data service, which uses data collected from location-enabled devices that were observed within a geofenced area defined by latitude and longitude. Our mobility data is collected only if consent or permission is provided by the individual. See mobility analytics

  • We take privacy, compliance, and data governance very seriously, and we are very proud of receiving favourable SSAE CSAE 3416 SOC1 Type II ,SOC2 Type II, and HIPAA/HITECT audit reports after rigorous, independent reviews of our internal security controls.
