7 Strategies to Strengthen Margins Without Sacrificing Performance

Margins are evaporating, labor costs are rising, and many are navigating it all with fragmented systems, lean teams, and reports that are too late to act on.

It’s not just about cutting costs—it’s about identifying the operational inefficiencies that quietly drain them:

• Teams are stretched thin, spending more time formatting data than using it
• Bottlenecks in throughput and staffing quietly erode productivity
• Disconnected data leads to slow decisions and missed opportunities

With the right strategy, you can contain costs, improve performance, and protect margins—without sacrificing care quality or adding new tech burdens.

This playbook outlines seven practical, proven strategies to help health systems uncover operational waste, improve resource utilization, and make faster, strategic financial decisions. Each strategy is based on common barriers seen across Health Catalyst’s client base, and each one reflects what we’ve learned from helping organizations reduce costs without sacrificing care quality or workforce morale. If you want to improve performance, protect margins, and create organizational resilience— these strategies are your starting point.
