One week, two countries, one signal. In late July, Avedian’s team represented the company at two of the region’s most relevant healthcare gatherings: the XVI International Congress of Hospitals and Clinics (ACHC) in Bogotá, Colombia, and the 11th Latin American Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare at Einstein Hospital Israelita in São Paulo, Brazil. Different audiences, different formats, but a strikingly consistent message about where hospital and insurer decision-making is headed.
The signal from Bogotá: adoption depends on solving a real problem
At ACHC, Nicolás and Pablo represented Avedian alongside Liz, from partner Processum. The congress brought together IPS and EPS leaders from across Colombia, the operators and payers who decide, day to day, which technology actually makes it into clinical and administrative workflows.
The conversation that repeated across nearly every meeting wasn’t about the most advanced algorithm on the market. It was about fit.
“The gap between a tool that gets adopted and one that gets shelved isn’t in the algorithm, it’s in whether it solves a real problem for the people running the operation.” — Pablo Tabares, Avedian, at ACHC 2026
Hospital and insurance leaders in Colombia and across most of LATAM aren’t looking to rebuild their data infrastructure from scratch. They’re looking for solutions that plug into the systems and the data they already operate, and that produce a measurable difference in daily decisions: which patients to prioritize, which claims carry risk, where a length-of-stay is drifting off track. That single requirement is quietly becoming the dividing line between AI vendors who scale in the region and those who don’t.
The signal from São Paulo: from fragmented data to connected intelligence
The same week, Virginia Tomatis and Guillermo Tabares Martinez attended the 11th Latin American Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, hosted at Einstein Hospital Israelita, one of the most influential healthcare gatherings in the region, drawing leaders from across Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
The opening keynote set the tone for the entire forum: Dr. John Halamka, President of Mayo Clinic Platform, and Dr. Sidney Klajner, CEO of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, discussing how artificial intelligence, trusted data ecosystems, and cross-institutional collaboration are redefining healthcare delivery, always with the patient at the center.
Two leaders from very different health systems arrived at the same conclusion: AI and data only become useful in healthcare when institutions trust the systems, and each other, enough to act on what the data says. Dozens of sessions later, one signal stood out above the rest: the industry is moving from fragmented data toward connected, actionable intelligence.
That is precisely the space Avedian operates in, helping hospitals and insurers turn the data they already have into decisions that improve safety, quality, and outcomes.
The common thread: what LATAM and U.S. healthcare leaders are asking for
Put Bogotá and São Paulo side by side and three requirements emerge, echoed by operators and by global platform leaders alike:
- Work with what’s already there. No institution wants a multi-year overhaul just to get a decision-support layer. The winning approach standardizes and analyzes existing clinical, operational, and financial data, it doesn’t ask hospitals to start over.
- Earn trust before earning adoption. Dr. Halamka and Dr. Klajner’s keynote made it explicit: cross-institutional collaboration only works when the underlying data and the systems processing it are demonstrably trustworthy, which is why compliance certifications and clinical validation matter as much as the model itself.
- Move from hindsight to foresight. Reporting on what already happened is table stakes. The conversations in both cities kept circling back to prediction anticipating discharge delays, cost overruns, or risk before they become irreversible, not after.
How Avedian is building this today
This isn’t a new direction for us, it’s the thesis we’ve been executing on for over a decade, and both events reaffirmed it from opposite ends of the region.
- Compass Decision Support applies one of only three proprietary DRG groupers in the world to standardize case mix across inpatient care, outpatient care, and population health giving hospitals and insurers a common, objective language to compare, finance, and manage care. Clients using Compass in their daily workflow have seen average length of stay drop by up to 12.3%, LOS variability fall by 9–65%, and standardized pharmacy costs decrease by 21–48%. Compass is now a qualified solution on Mayo Clinic Platform Solutions Studio, the same ecosystem Dr. Halamka discussed on stage in São Paulo.
- Hosdatia brings that same standardized, operational data layer to hospital management, so operational and financial leaders can manage case mix and resource allocation with the kind of objective criteria ACHC’s audience was asking for.
- Insuria extends that intelligence to health insurers, applying AI-driven risk classification and predictive analytics so underwriting and member experience teams can move from static forms to real-time, personalized decisions.
Across all three, the same certifications that Dr. Halamka’s remarks in São Paulo pointed to as prerequisites for trust — SOC 2 Type I, ISO 9001/27001/42001, HIPAA, and GDPR — are already built in. Today, Avedian’s solutions run across 55+ hospitals in LATAM and Spain, support 450+ professionals using Compass in their daily workflow, and have processed 200,000+ inpatient episodes.
What’s next for Avedian in LATAM and the U.S.
Bogotá and São Paulo weren’t isolated stops, they’re part of a deliberate push to deepen Avedian’s presence across the healthcare systems shaping both regions. In the months ahead, that means:
- Expanding Compass and Hosdatia deployments with new hospital and health-system partners across LATAM, building on the relationships opened at ACHC.
- Continuing to build within the Mayo Clinic Platform_Accelerate ecosystem, translating the trusted-data-ecosystem conversation from São Paulo into concrete integrations.
- Bringing Insuria’s conversational, risk-classification approach to more insurers navigating the same underwriting pressures raised in Bogotá.
- Showing up at the next wave of anchor healthcare events across LATAM and the U.S. with sharper data, real client outcomes, and the same message: technology earns its place in healthcare operations by solving a real problem, not by asking institutions to start over.
The future of healthcare it’s predictive, personalized, and built on data institutions can actually trust. That’s the throughline from Bogotá to São Paulo, and it’s the road Avedian is already on.
