INTEGRIS Health will capture value from big data, through advanced graphical from leader SAS. The largest health care system in Oklahoma will use SAS® Visual Analytics to quickly and easily sift through mammoth amounts of data to understand resource requirements and usage statewide – for example, what communities are ER patients coming from? What types of treatment do they receive?
By analyzing resource use and practice trends, INTEGRIS will ensure that it is not only meeting the health care needs of Oklahomans, but doing so as cost-efficiently as possible.
“INTEGRIS comprises everything from hospitals and clinics to independent living centers throughout Oklahoma,” said Bruce Lawrence, President and CEO, INTEGRIS Health. “We need to take advantage of the data each facility creates every day, and SAS Analytics will help us deliver excellent patient care at every location. Being able to quickly dive into our data, we can manage our services more efficiently – which improves patient health outcomes.”
A long-standing SAS customer, INTEGRIS has selected an in-memory solution for exploring any amount of data very quickly. Users can spot patterns, identify opportunities for further analysis, and convey results with visual clarity via Web reports or iPad and Android tablets. Quickly reading data into memory for fast processing and data visualization, SAS Visual Analytics lets users explore all data, not just a sample. They can execute analytic correlations on billions of rows of data in just minutes or seconds, and present results in easy-to-understand charts, graphs and animations. They can quickly identify patterns, trends and relationships in data that are not apparent unless graphically displayed.
“Visual analytics is like a GPS to pinpoint and provide speed of reporting to quickly explore data, allowing INTEGRIS to better manage and allocate resources, reduce costs and improve quality,” said Dr. Graham Hughes, SAS Chief Medical Officer. “It’s ultimately about providing exceptional patient care.”
