Health Care DataWorks will Provide Enterprise Data Warehouse and Healthcare Analytics for OhioHealth


Enterprise data warehouse (EDW) solutions provide organizations with the tools to access information seamlessly across many different platforms. As the size of an organization grows, the amount of data it collects also grows at a much faster rate. This information has to be stored and managed so it can be used with maximum efficiency.

A data model that takes into account your financial, administrative, clinical, research and customer support is essential for a large healthcare institution. OhioHealth has 17 hospitals, 21 health and surgery centers as well as other medical services in a 40-county area. In choosing Health Care DataWorks(HCD), OhioHealth is looking to achieve higher system-wide healthcare analytics at an affordable price.

The KnowledgeEdge Enterprise Data Warehouse is a platform with an easy to use UI with many resources and a pre-built dashboard. It can deliver reports on the information that is requested without the help of IS staff. It can give details which will enable an organization to identify compliance issues, inefficiencies and specific bottlenecks so changes can be made to improve overall operations.

“Our relationship with OhioHealth is a testament to the value we bring to healthcare organizations seeking to leverage information for timely and informed decision making. When you aggregate and organize the tremendous amount of data that is created from disparate data-producing systems, you achieve a higher level of business intelligence that puts you in a stronger position to manage the balance between improving quality and reducing costs” said Detlev H. (Herb) Smaltz, Health Care DataWorks CEO.

As pay-for-result models are being replaced with fee-for-service alternatives EDW will be more beneficial in the healthcare field. EDW will have the capacity to enable end users multiple choices for acquiring information with the option of incorporating predictive analysis for making decisions.

HCD specializes in providing healthcare organizations affordable solutions for improving patient care, while reducing costs. It delivers an EDW needed for hospital and healthcare systems so they can gain insight into their operations.
