BI-Clinical: Healthcare Business Intelligence

Rising costs, increased focus on patient safety, requirements for compliance reporting and new Pay for Performance measures are driving the need for good business intelligence solutions in health care today. Many healthcare organizations have in the recent past initiated business intelligence solutions. The overall success in deploying these solutions have been low for several reasons - are very expensive, are difficult to deploy, provide limited end-user flexibility, have very limited clinical business intelligence capabilities and focus largely on RCM and utilization management.

CitusTech’s BI-Clinical framework is a comprehensive business intelligence framework built on latest Microsoft BI technology. It helps healthcare organizations accumulate and analyze valuable structured data to deliver unprecedented business value and enhance the quality of care. The framework integrates across clinical, administrative and financial data and enables effective aggregation, synchronization and presentation of information for enhanced care management and improved utilization.

Key advantages of the BI-Clinical framework are:

• Strong clinical BI and reporting based on JCAHO, NCQA, Leapfrog, P4P and Medicare/Medicaid recommendations
• Disease registries for clinical reporting on both outcome measures and process measures - including diabetes, chronic hypertension, elevated cardiac risk, and obesity
• Business reporting and financial management dashboards for reporting and improving key performance measures
• Robust integration framework - pre-built integration for leading financial & clinical applications
• Robust, flexible and cost-effective technology built on Microsoft BI platform
• Rapid deployment time - get started within a couple of months!!
• Highly cost-effective solution - 40%+ cost saving over other BI solutions

Unlike most healthcare business intelligence solutions in the market today, BI-Clinical is an extensive business intelligence and reporting framework for clinical outcome and quality measures. The two key components of the framework are:

• Clinical Outcomes Analysis: Clinical dashboards and disease registries for chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, obesity), clinical processes (e.g. measures based on JCAHO, P4P requirements), and population health
• Business Operations Analysis: Business and financial management dashboards for reporting and improving key performance measures (e.g. revenue cycle, utilization, clinical operations)
