Phrase Health ROI Calculator

Most health systems know they can squeeze more value out of their EHR implementation—but quantifying the opportunity is difficult. We've built a simple calculator that estimates your potential annual ROI. Our methodology excludes downstream revenue and quality incentives, so actual ROI is likely to surpass these projections.

Health system profile

Data source: AHRQ Compendium of U.S. Health Systems (2023). We combine public system‑level attributes with conservative, peer‑reviewed assumptions. Bed counts come from the Compendium; when unavailable, we estimate conservatively and label those estimates.

CASE STUDIES / TESTIMONIALS

Reducing clinical variation and clinician frustration

A process improvement manager at a regional health system identified inappropriate lab orders during a data-driven order set review process. The downstream removal of inpatient bacterial antigen testing saved over $700,000 annually on low-yield testing, while streamlining the order set design.

OUTCOMES

$700K annual savings by reducing bacterial antigen orders 57%
10X efficiency gains in order set review processes
Streamlined workflows by retiring redundant order sets

Cutting non-essential orders and IT time

A regional health system reduced non-essential IV fluid usage by 40% within weeks of a nationwide shortage. With Phrase Health, they implemented targeted interventions 5× faster than traditional analytics methods would allow, bypassing IT bottlenecks despite competing strategic priorities.

"The great thing about Phrase Health is that it makes it very easy to get the data you want. Most other vendors make retrieving any sort of data cumbersome.
