Ursa Compass is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for healthcare organizations operating in value-based care. Powered by the Ursa Core Data Model, Compass helps teams investigate performance, identify high-impact opportunities, prioritize interventions, and generate trusted, presentation-ready insights from their own data.
Unlike generic AI tools, Compass is grounded in your healthcare data, your measures, your populations, and your operating context. It combines the speed and flexibility of AI with the structure, accuracy, and transparency healthcare leaders need to make confident decisions.
Generic AI tools can summarize, speculate, and generate polished answers. But in healthcare analytics, that is not enough. Organizations need results that are grounded in accurate data, clinically meaningful definitions, and transparent methods.
Compass is built differently.
It sits on top of the Ursa Core Data Model: a healthcare-specific, human-built data foundation that integrates, localizes, and organizes complex healthcare data into trusted measures and concepts. Compass uses that foundation to conduct focused investigations, query live data, and surface results that can be reviewed, verified, and shared.
The result is AI-powered analytics that is fast, flexible, and grounded in reality.
Traditional dashboards are useful, but limited. They show predefined metrics and answer predefined questions. Manual analysis offers more depth, but analyst teams are often overwhelmed by the volume of requests.
Compass bridges that gap.
It gives organizations a new way to explore value-based care performance: structured enough to produce trustworthy results, but flexible enough to investigate what matters most.
With Compass, teams can:
Compass is optimized for opportunity analysis across clinical, operational, and financial performance. It helps organizations understand where to focus, why an opportunity matters, and what action may be worth pursuing next.
Common use cases include:
Identify where avoidable cost is concentrated and which populations, providers, facilities, or clinical categories are driving variation.
Analyze readmission patterns, follow-up performance, facility variation, and potential intervention opportunities.
Investigate emergency department use, inpatient admissions, avoidable utilization, and related cost drivers.
Explore medication-related opportunities, prescribing patterns, adherence gaps, and pharmacy cost trends.
Identify utilization and care patterns that may indicate opportunities to improve quality, coordination, and patient-centered care.
Understand how attribution, primary care engagement, access, and provider relationships affect performance.
Compare results across markets, ACOs, payer groups, provider groups, or other entities relevant to your organization.
Compass supports a spectrum of AI-powered analytics workflows.
The Guided Opportunity Scan is Compass’s most structured mode. Users select a domain or diagnostic suite, choose the population or entity they want to analyze, and launch the scan.
Compass then runs the analysis, reviews the results, curates the most meaningful findings, and generates an annotated presentation for review.
This gives teams a repeatable way to conduct broad opportunity analyses without starting from a blank screen.

Explorer is Compass’s more flexible, conversational analytics experience. It allows advanced users to ask custom questions, investigate hypotheses, and work collaboratively with the agent.
Compass searches the data model, proposes an analytical approach, asks clarifying questions when needed, runs queries, and promotes findings that are worth saving.
Best for:
Start with Trusted Data
Compass runs on top of the Ursa Core Data Model, giving it access to healthcare-specific measures, fields, reference data, and clinical concepts that have already been integrated and validated.
Launch a Guided Scan or Custom Investigation
Choose a pre-built diagnostic suite or ask a custom question through Explorer.
Compass Queries Your Data
Compass uses purpose-built tools to query your data, inspect metadata, and run analyses directly against the Ursa environment.
Findings Are Promoted
When Compass identifies a meaningful result, it promotes it as a Finding with an underlying table, chart, and SQL query.
Results Become Presentations
Findings can be curated into editable, exportable presentations that help teams communicate opportunities and next steps.
Users Review, Refine, and Drill Deeper
Teams can inspect the SQL, review the underlying data, edit visualizations, ask follow-up questions, or run additional analysis.
Ursa built Compass around a core principle: AI should accelerate investigation, not obscure how results were produced.
That is why Compass includes guardrails designed specifically for enterprise healthcare analytics.
Grounded in the Ursa Core Data Model
Compass does not operate on raw, unstructured healthcare data. It works from curated measures, objects, and healthcare concepts already organized within the Ursa platform.
Read-Only Data Access
Compass uses a dedicated, read-only connection to query data without modifying the underlying Ursa schema.
Prescriptive Diagnostics
Guided workflows use pre-built prompts and diagnostic templates that constrain the agent to known measures, tables, and analytical logic.
Verifiable Findings
Compass-promoted Findings are anchored to actual database query results, with the underlying SQL and data available for review.
Human Review
Compass produces analysis and presentations for review, refinement, and decision support. Human judgment remains central to how insights are interpreted and acted upon.
When Compass completes an Opportunity Scan, it can generate an annotated presentation that highlights top recommendations, supporting data, trends, and context.
Users can review the presentation, ask Compass to revise slides, add unused findings, reformat charts, or export the deck to PowerPoint for further editing.
This helps teams move faster from investigation to stakeholder alignment.
Compass presentations can support:
Compass helps expand access to analytics without forcing every question through an overburdened analyst team.
For Executives
Quickly understand where the biggest opportunities are and what actions may drive measurable impact.
For Clinical Leaders
Explore patterns in utilization, care delivery, quality, engagement, and outcomes.
For Operations Teams
Identify opportunities that can be translated into workflows, interventions, and performance improvement initiatives.
For Analysts
Accelerate investigation, reduce repetitive work, and use Compass as a powerful AI assistant grounded in the Ursa data model.
For Value-Based Care Teams
Prioritize the interventions most likely to improve cost, quality, and performance.
Compass is not a generic chatbot layered onto a database. It is a healthcare-specific AI platform built into Ursa Studio and designed to help organizations investigate value-based care performance with speed, structure, and trust.
