Dashboard Modernization for Regional Healthcare Network
Replaced a fragmented reporting system with a unified Power BI dashboard suite, reducing report generation time from days to minutes.
Challenge
The healthcare network operated across 12 facilities with reporting spread across Excel spreadsheets, legacy Crystal Reports, and a partially implemented EHR analytics module. Executives waited days for basic operational metrics, and each facility reported numbers differently.
Approach
Started with a two-week discovery phase mapping all existing reports to actual business questions. Identified that 80% of the 60+ reports could be consolidated into 8 core dashboards. Built a lightweight data pipeline using dbt and PostgreSQL to normalize data from three source systems.
Solution
Delivered a Power BI dashboard suite covering patient volume, revenue cycle, staffing, and quality metrics. Implemented row-level security so each facility director sees their own data while executives get the full picture. Built automated data refresh on a 4-hour cycle.
Results
The leadership team now starts each Monday with a live operational review instead of waiting for manually compiled reports. The data engineering foundation enables the network to add new data sources and dashboards independently.
