Healthcare Analytics for Dallas-Fort Worth's Hospitals and Health Systems

The Dallas-Fort Worth healthcare market is anchored by Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest nonprofit health system in Texas with 52 hospitals and a presence across dozens of North Texas communities. Alongside Baylor Scott & White, UT Southwestern Medical Center drives academic research and tertiary care in Dallas County, while Texas Health Resources — with 29 hospitals — reaches communities across the suburban DFW corridor. Medical City Healthcare (HCA's DFW platform) adds 18 hospitals to the competitive mix, making DFW one of the most structurally complex multi-system markets in the country. Each of these systems operates its own EHR infrastructure, quality reporting cadence, and payer contract portfolio, creating significant data fragmentation that makes market-level analytics a genuine challenge.

Parkland Memorial Hospital serves as Dallas County's safety-net institution and Level I trauma center, delivering more babies annually than any other hospital in the United States — a reflection of the county's young, diverse, and significantly uninsured population. JPS Health Network performs the same safety-net function in Tarrant County. Both institutions face extreme payer-mix pressure from Texas's 25% uninsured rate and must manage uncompensated care analytics, charity care qualification workflows, and Medicaid STAR managed care performance simultaneously. Cook Children's Health Care System serves pediatric patients across the region, adding a specialized dimension to the analytics landscape that requires distinct quality and utilization models.
