4X Faster Migration of Data Visualization Improves Analytics Effectiveness and Reduces Costs

A DATA VISUALIZATION PLATFORM FOR A SUCCESSFUL DATA MIGRATION

Many healthcare data visualization tools only represent a few facets of data and are ineffective for the complex sensemaking required for big health data.¹Healthcare organizations need cost-effective, advanced data visualizations that effectively address big data challenges.

A PARTNERSHIP OF EXPERTISE, GUIDANCE, AND SUPPORT

Memorial had many applications in a costly legacy platform that were no longer sufficient to meet business reporting needs. As a result, Memorial evaluated several companies as potential partners to help it decommission the legacy system and migrate its data visualizations to a new platform. However, the companies it considered didn’t provide the level of support desired, were unfamiliar with Memorial’s data, and proposed timelines that made it unlikely the organization could decommission the legacy platform before the annual invoicing period.

MIGRATING TO A MODERN DATA VISUALIZATION TOOL WITH EASE

世界杯葡萄牙vs加纳即时走地Health Catalyst和Memorial建立了可度量的目标，并执行了企业范围的战略评估，以确定需要迁移的遗留应用程序，并找到退役和合并应用程序的机会。Health Catalyst also developed and provided a road map and processes for efficient and strategic migration.

Health Catalyst converted applications and dashboards from the legacy platform to a modern tool using best practices and standardized processes, including project plans, a standardized BI template, developer playbooks, best practice guides, design standards, user-acceptance testing, developer training, and end-user training. Memorial and Health Catalyst collaborated to ensure on-time delivery of critical applications and features in the new data visualization tool. The migration provided Memorial with an opportunity to validate the data in each application and assess data utilization. Migration also provided an opportunity to perform data cleanup activities.

RESULTS

In just three months, Health Catalyst’s Visualization Migration Services supported Memorial’s migration to a modern tool with features that the legacy system couldn’t offer, including geospatial analysis, augmented intelligence, and push notifications. Results include:

• 12 applications migrated in three months—4X fasterthan other companies proposed.
• 65 percent relative reduction在应用程序数量上，减少与应用程序维护相关的未来劳动力成本，并为关键性能指标创建一个真实的来源。
• $85K在每年的许可证费用取消。

Health Catalyst managed and performed the migration, enabling the Memorial team to focus on other organizational IT priorities, minimizing disruptions, and ensuring the organization retired the applications and dashboards from the legacy tool before the annual invoicing period. In addition to improved data visualizations and cost savings, data cleanup and migration activities have resulted in improved analytics platform system performance.

“I’ve been a part of many upgrades with other systems and vendors. The Health Catalyst Visualization Migration Services team is at the top of my list for ease-of-use and effectiveness.”
