Inovalon, which combines advanced cloud-based data analytics and data-driven intervention platforms to provide insights to the healthcare industry, served nearly 100 clients representing approximately 200 patient populations in 2014.
A January 2013 McKinsey & Company report estimates that utilizing data analytics could drive improvements in healthcare resulting in a beneficial economic impact of $300 billion to $450 billion annually.
Inovalon reported net income of $51.9 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014, up from $27 million a year earlier.
The company competes with IT solutions providers such as Oracle, IBM, IT consultants such as Accenture and Deloitte Consulting, healthcare-specific solutions providers such as McKesson, OptumHealth, Truven and point solution providers such as DST Health and Alere.
The amount of money a company says it plans to raise in its first IPO filings is used to calculate registration fees. The final size of the IPO could be different.
