Case Study: Southeastern Med achieves cost savings and improved healthcare delivery with Altair Knowledge Works

Southeastern Med Cuts Costs While Improving Healthcare Delivery

Southeastern Med, a community acute-care hospital in Cambridge, Ohio serving roughly 4,000 inpatients and 100,000 outpatients annually, found its healthcare-specific BI tools couldn’t keep up with growing reporting demands. The IT team needed a platform that could integrate real-time and historical data from many sources — including unstructured files like PDFs — to uncover actionable insights for tracking infections, monitoring physician performance, and managing operational risk.

By implementing Altair Data Analytics, the hospital can access, prepare, and analyze structured and unstructured data from virtually any source and create interactive visualizations and dashboards. The change eliminated limited manual reports (saving about 15 hours per week in the endoscopy unit), improved tracking and reduction of hospital‑acquired infections, enabled physician scorecards and cost/success analyses, and delivered faster insights and lower costs with rapid payback.
