Case Study: Edward-Elmhurst Health Achieves Lab Cost Savings and System Integration with hc1

Edward-Elmhurst Health achieves $8.7M in savings with hc1

Edward-Elmhurst Health, a major Illinois-based health system, faced the challenge of integrating multiple independent labs into a single, unified system to maximize cost savings and improve patient outcomes. To achieve this, they partnered with vendor Hc1 for its lab transformation expertise and its hc1 IQ™ AI-powered platform to help pursue an improved cost structure and consistent processes.

Hc1 facilitated the integration by bringing all parties together to build a shared foundation for collaboration. The solution focused on improving key metrics such as cost per test, labor management, and blood utilization. As a result of working with Hc1, Edward-Elmhurst Health achieved a shared target milestone of $8.7 million and has projected savings of $10.3 million by the end of the three-year engagement, while also fostering a stronger culture of data-driven collaboration.
