Improve health care quality and outcomes. Drill into Medicaid expenses. Investigate any question you can think of...as fast as you can think.


Salient is a first-of-its-kind, interactive visual data mining system that provides the ability to maintain complete and continuous vigilance over Medicaid program activities. Salient’s speed, tools, and ease of use lets leaders and knowledge workers get the information they need to improve performance without technical support.

  • Uncover Fraud, Waste & Abuse
  • Target Recipient Interventions
  • Improve Health Care Delivery
  • Identify Cost Containment and Cost Avoidance Strategies
  • Increase Staff Productivity
  • Reduce Pay & Chase Cost

The data you already have is extremely valuable: it holds the secret to achieving greater efficiency and
stopping waste. Salient makes it simple to boost performance and accountability by exploiting the vast amounts of activity data that get collected in computer files in the normal course of government.

Our technology provides a precise accounting of every act, every expenditure, and every decision.
Decision-makers, managers, and individual workers can instantly and easily access this accounting without
taking any time away from their real jobs.
Our approach for program integrity is radical because we place investigation in the hands of everyday workers. Most people work smarter if they can see the benefits of their actions.

Overview

  • Find anomalies and outliers in normal business processes and eliminate them.
  • Look for areas of waste—in extreme cases, fraud is probably present.
  • Allow everyday users to harness their curiosity and intuition in any way that makes sense to them.
  • Get direct insight into patterns, including persons, places, and things that are outside the norm.
  • Study the evidence behind the anomaly or outlier.
  • Look at large volumes of information.
  • Take away the need for statistical expertise.

All of this can be done with amazing speed because of Salient's in-memory analytical processing platform.
