Case Study: Southeastern Med achieves improved patient care and cost savings with Altair Data Analytics

Southeastern Med Cuts Costs While Improving Healthcare Delivery

Southeastern Med, an acute community hospital serving more than 4,000 inpatients and 100,000 outpatients annually in Cambridge, Ohio, needed better business intelligence than its healthcare-specific solution could provide. The IT team struggled to integrate real-time and historical data from diverse sources and to analyze unstructured information (like PDFs) needed to track infections, physician performance, and treatment trends, so they turned to Altair's Data Analytics technology.

Altair implemented its Data Analytics platform to access, prepare and visualize structured and unstructured data from virtually any source, delivering interactive dashboards, scorecards and real‑time visual analysis. The solution saved the endoscopy unit about 15 hours per week by replacing manual reports, improved tracking and reduction of hospital‑acquired infections and related costs, and gave administrators clearer physician performance insights — with a projected return on investment in less than a month, according to Southeastern Med.
