Case Study: Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters advances pediatric care with data trust and unified analytics from Dimensional Insight

Children’s hospital of the king’s daughters Advancing Pediatric Care With A Data Culture Shift

Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) faced a significant challenge with its data being siloed across three separate healthcare systems—Allscripts, Epic, and Cerner. This fragmentation made it difficult for employees to compile comprehensive reports, often requiring them to manually combine data in Excel spreadsheets, which was time-consuming and raised concerns about data integrity. The hospital sought a more robust solution to integrate and standardize its data to improve decision-making and turned to the vendor Dimensional Insight for assistance.

Dimensional Insight implemented a solution by integrating data from all three systems into a single, trusted data store. This allowed CHKD to view longitudinal patient records and run queries quickly. The initiative also fostered a data culture shift, with the establishment of data stewards to ensure consistent definitions and increase data literacy across the organization. As a result, executives now have improved access to critical data for decision-making, and the hospital is expanding its use of Dimensional Insight's applications to other areas like the emergency department and surgery operations.
