Trusted data matters even more as AI expands. Reliable intelligence begins with data, methodologies, definitions, and governance that organizations can defend.
Healthcare organizations have more data than ever. But turning that data into decisions they can trust remains difficult.
Truven has spent decades perfecting the engine behind healthcare’s most trusted intelligence, combining data management, analytic enrichments, and MarketScan benchmarks. Meridian provides access to that engine within your preferred environments and tools.
What is different about Truven Meridian?
Truven capabilities have traditionally been delivered through applications such as Health Insights and Springbuk, providing complete analytics experiences that help organizations understand performance, identify opportunities, and act on healthcare insights.
Meridian creates another way to access Truven. It makes Truven’s trusted data management, proven methodologies, analytic enrichments, and MarketScan benchmarks available beyond a traditional analytics application.
Customers can combine Truven capabilities with their own data, preferred technologies, and internal expertise to create a consistent, maintained foundation for analytics, reporting, applications, and, when appropriate, AI initiatives. Meridian delivers value whether AI is part of their current strategy or not.
Meridian is not simply another way to move or store data. It extends the rigor behind Truven analytics into the broader environments where organizations work and make decisions.
That difference shows up in greater efficiency and the quality of the intelligence teams can apply. Instead of building and maintaining analytic logic from raw extracts that age as soon as they land, Meridian brings proven methods and groupers, differentiated Truven measures, and trusted MarketScan benchmarks into the customer’s environment, all maintained and refreshed on a regular cycle. Because Truven is not tied to a competing book of business or insurance economics, those benchmarks reflect the broader market—showing organizations where they actually stand, not where a single carrier’s footprint suggests they do.
Consider an organization bringing together claims, care-management, provider, and other enterprise data to identify opportunities to improve outcomes for a complex high-cost population. Meridian can apply consistent Truven definitions, clinical intelligence, and market reference points across that analysis, creating a common and defensible foundation for deciding where intervention may have the greatest impact.
That intelligence can be used through Truven applications or extended into the organization’s own analytics environments and workflows, without requiring teams to recreate the expertise behind it.
More flexibility for existing and new customers
For existing customers, Health Insights and Springbuk remain complete analytics solutions. Meridian does not replace those applications. It provides an additional way to extend the trusted Truven data and intelligence they already use into more of their organization, including other data environments, tools, and workflows.
For new customers, Meridian provides a flexible way to begin with Truven without first adopting a traditional analytics application. Organizations can bring Truven’s data management expertise, methodologies, enrichments, and benchmarks into their preferred environments while continuing to use the technologies and workflows they already have.
In both cases, the opportunity is the same: bring a trusted Truven foundation to more of the places where healthcare decisions are being made.
Trusted intelligence for an AI-enabled world
AI is changing what organizations expect from healthcare analytics. Leaders want answers faster, while technical teams increasingly need data that can support internal models, applications, and AI initiatives.
Meridian makes trusted Truven intelligence more accessible across the data, tools, and workflows customers use. That matters because AI is only as reliable as the data, methodologies, and definitions behind it.
Truven combines rigorous data sourcing and management, MarketScan-powered intelligence, comparative benchmarks, clinical logic, grouping, risk adjustment, governance, and scalable analytic enrichments.
The value is not AI for its own sake. It is faster, more confident decision-making grounded in data and methodologies organizations can trust.
One trusted foundation, available in more ways
Healthcare organizations need intelligence that helps them understand where to focus, why it matters, and what to do next.
Meridian extends Truven’s trusted foundation into the broader environments where customers work. Existing customers can extend what they already trust beyond Health Insights or Springbuk. New customers gain another way to begin with Truven.
Truven Meridian is not a reinvention of Truven. It is a new way to make our strongest capabilities more accessible and applicable across the modern healthcare analytics ecosystem.
Truven Meridian. Trusted data. Adaptive intelligence. Proven results.
