SAS has announced new AI models and solutions aimed at healthcare payers and providers to improve cost management and health outcomes, as stated in a press release. The new offering, SAS Health Cost of Care Analytics, is designed to support decision-making regarding the quality and cost of care.

Built on the SAS Viya platform, the solution will be available in July 2025 and aims to enable more cost-effective treatment pathways, reduce unnecessary admissions, and decrease hospital stay durations.

These models are designed to enhance patient engagement, improve quality metrics, and streamline medical record evaluations. The solutions will be showcased at the AHIP 2025 conference in Las Vegas, where attendees can experience live demos and expert Q&A sessions.

SAS continues to leverage its expertise in data and AI to deliver solutions that address complex healthcare challenges, focusing on improving operational efficiency and patient care outcomes.
