Clinical performance accountability through data integration and analytics

In most healthcare organizations, 80 percent of analyst time is spent consolidating data, while only 20 percent is spent on data analysis to improve outcomes. Fortunately, SAS has developed Data Integration Services for Health (DISH) – a solution that flips this equation.

The DISH solution:

• Is a data integration and reporting framework based on SAS’ business analytics
• Tracks 18 Key Clinical Performance Indicators
• Consolidates data from hospitals, regions and LHINs
• Automates information aggregation and reporting across multiple source systems
• Collates DAD transactions and NACRS submissions to CIHI
• Allows for shared information across the entire healthcare hierarchy
  

With a comprehensive picture of clinical activ­ity, hospitals can:

• Perform root cause analysis to address missed service level targets
• Focus more on improving clinical performance and accountability
• Drill down into corporate, surgery, emergency and critical care scorecards
• Gain insight for more effective staff deployment
• Measure their progress toward CIHI benchmarks

SAS, the leader in Business Analytics, invites you to the launch of our new healthcare industry solution: Data Integration Services for Health (DISH). Come see a DISH demonstration, and hear from Niagara Health System about the benefits of this powerful solution in managing your data.
