In health care, the time and cost spent to collect, analyse and report on data is immense. Methods can be complex, and the stakes are often high. It isn't hard to justify the reasons for doing it right - reducing post-surgical infections, improving the discharge process, enhancing patient care and decreasing readmission rates, to name a few.
What happens when a hospital starts using a data-driven, analytics-based approach to give stakeholders a continual view of all critical metrics - from post-surgical infections to length of stay?
After turning to SAS, Crouse Hospital found it could use point-and-click analytics solutions that don't require programming, so nurses and other staff members could stay focused on patients. In a webinar with SAS, representatives of the 500-bed hospital in upstate New York shared how SAS® Analytics solutions have helped them:
- Consolidate disparate data sources
- Provide scorecards with key metrics to decision makers
- Improve patient care by reducing post-operative infections
- Identify and intervene when patients are at greater risk of readmission
