Datavant growth playbook

Diagnosis

Datavant has scale no rival matches: 80,000+ hospitals and clinics, all US payers, 20 of the top 20 pharma companies and a 350+ partner real-world data ecosystem. Its hiring points at life sciences growth: a Marketing Campaign Manager for life sciences pipeline, Client Partners for life sciences and the data ecosystem, product science leaders and a data-sourcing product manager for data discovery, plus client success roles focused on expansion and retention.

The site undersells that scale to life sciences buyers: the partner directory is invisible to search engines and AI assistants, the RWE platform page looks unfinished, the demo path is one Datavant Connect form, and the company's own numbers differ from page to page.

This playbook makes the ecosystem discoverable first, then fixes the life sciences conversion path, builds nurture, partner co-marketing, a life sciences calculator and a publication library, and grows retention in legal, payer and provider accounts.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Turn the real-world data ecosystem from a number on a page into a searchable catalogue that brings inbound life sciences demand and keeps data partners engaged.

Biggest Risk

HealthVerity, Komodo Health and Truveta market their data and analytics directly to life sciences teams with clearer self-serve entry points, while Datavant's breadth can blur its message.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Datavant's biggest life sciences asset is its ecosystem of 350+ real-world data partners, and it promises those partners better "visibility of your data to potential buyers". But the Find a Partner directory is built in the browser: its HTML says "No results found" and "Enable JavaScript to load items", and none of the 1,024 URLs in the sitemap is a page for a partner or a data type. A researcher who searches for "linkable oncology EHR data" or asks an AI assistant "who provides mortality data for RWE?" will not find Datavant's answer. HealthVerity and Truveta list their data types on pages anyone can read.

    Smallest test

    Publish the oncology EHR or mortality data page this month and track requests.

    Why it works

    Publish one server-rendered page per data type (claims, EHR, genomics, imaging, lab, mortality, registries, SDOH, patient-reported outcomes, remittance, clinical trial) describing what is available through the ecosystem, typical use cases and linkage options, with a "find data for my study" form. Then, with each partner's consent, publish a short partner profile (data type, coverage, refresh, tokenized) linked from those pages. Add them to the sitemap, give each a title and description, and route form fills to the Client Partner, Ecosystem team by data type.

    Life sciences teams start data sourcing with a search. Indexable pages turn the ecosystem from a sales claim into a catalogue that brings inbound demand, and they deliver the visibility partners were promised, which helps the ecosystem team sign and keep data sources.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Partners want confidentiality

      Publish only what each partner approves; keep data-type pages generic.

    • Thin pages

      Include real use cases and linkage options on every page.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteFind a Real-World Data Partner page (checked twice on October 23, 2026): partners load in the browser from a script; the page's HTML shows "No results found." with "Enable JavaScript to load items." The sitemap (1,024 URLs) has no page for any individual partner or data type. The Real-World Data Ecosystem page promises partners they can "Improve visibility of your data to potential buyers" and "Drive demand for your data assets", and says "more than 300 partner organizations", while the homepage and footer say "350+".Source

    The RWE platform page has no meta description, a visible heading that reads "Drive operational effiiciency", a blog link that reads "Evidencence", template blocks hidden in the code ("Fourth benefit headline", "This text is fully editable from the block editor") and a different expert count (60+) from the Life Sciences page (100+). For a product sold on scientific rigour, it is the page that most needs to look finished.

    Fix the typos and description this week.

    Why it works

    Fix the two typos, write the description, remove the empty template blocks, agree one expert count, and add one proof point (a customer quote or a publication) and a demo request specific to RWE.

    Campaign traffic converts only when the landing page looks as rigorous as the product.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • More pages with leftovers

      Search the site for template text.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteInsights and Evidence Generation page (the RWE platform with Measure and Cohort Builder, Guided Analyses and Coding Workbench): no meta description; a visible benefit heading reads "Drive operational effiiciency" and a blog link reads "Real-World Evidencence"; template blocks ("Section heading", "Fourth benefit headline", "Add your fourth benefit description here. This text is fully editable from the block editor.", "Eyebrow") sit hidden in the page code; the page cites "60+ epidemiologists and scientific experts" while the Life Sciences page says "100+".Source

The life sciences "Request a demo" page is about Datavant Connect for "data and analytics leaders" ("Manage dozens of complex data connectivity projects at a glance") rather than clinical, commercial or RWE use cases.Source

    The life sciences "Request a demo" page pitches Datavant Connect to data and analytics leaders. Clinical development, commercial pharma and HEOR or RWE teams arrive with different questions, and the Life Sciences page sends them all to the same form.

    Add the three choices to the current form.

    Why it works

    Split the form into three short paths (clinical development and trial tokenization, commercial patient journey, RWE and evidence generation) with one sentence of value, one proof point and two qualifying questions each. Route each to the right Client Partner, Life Sciences and nurture track.

    Matching the demo to the buyer's job raises demo rates and gives sales a better first call.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Visitors unsure which path

      Add an "other" choice that routes to a generalist.

    Why it works

    Agree one set of facts with dates and definitions (records exchanged, tokenized, processed; partners; offices) and update the footer, homepage, Life Sciences, ecosystem and newsroom pages. Give sales and PR the same sheet.

    Large, consistent numbers persuade; inconsistent ones invite questions in procurement and from AI summaries.

    Build three nurture tracks from existing content (clinical development, commercial, RWE), define when a lead becomes marketing- and sales-qualified, and hand qualified leads to Client Partners with the content they engaged with.

    Long, multi-stakeholder pharma deals need steady, relevant contact between first touch and first meeting.

    Share a spreadsheet version with two client partners.

    Why it works

    Build a calculator for trial tokenization or RWE studies: time and cost saved versus building linkage in-house or chasing records, using Datavant's published claims (results "in half of the time of traditional methods"). End with a demo path.

    A number the buyer can take into a budget meeting moves deals forward.

    Rebuild one landing page and compare.

    Why it works

    Build campaign landing pages on a lighter template: inline critical CSS, defer scripts, remove duplicated libraries and serve them from the site. Test each new landing page before launch.

    Faster first visits lift paid-campaign conversion where the visitor has no cache.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Breaking tracking

      Test tags after each change.

    Evidence

    • Google PageSpeedHomepage, mobile lab test: performance 57 (desktop 81), LCP 11.4 s, first paint 5.9 s; render-blocking requests could save 3.65 s and unused JavaScript 1.72 s, with duplicated JavaScript and scripts from two public CDNs. Real Chrome visitors pass Core Web Vitals (page LCP 1.1 s, INP 93 ms, CLS 0), and site-wide LCP improved 52%.Source

    Release a static catalogue of data types first.

    Why it works

    Open a public catalogue view: search by therapeutic area, data type and coverage, see which partners match, and submit a study request that goes to the ecosystem team with the details. Logged-in customers get overlaps and profiles.

    A self-serve first step brings in smaller sponsors and academic teams and gives the ecosystem team better-qualified requests.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Partner sensitivity

      Let each partner choose what is public.

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.
