Case Study: University of Hartford achieves end-to-end population health management and a 0.4% COVID-19 positivity rate with Ellucian Banner (Ellucian)

University of Hartford applies technology to an innovative pandemic plan

The University of Hartford faced the challenge of keeping students safe and maintaining a residential experience during the COVID-19 pandemic by automating population health management and consolidating disparate data. To meet this goal they turned to Ellucian, using Ellucian Banner to provide the flexibility needed for pandemic planning and student success initiatives.

Ellucian implemented an integrated analytics workbench within Ellucian Banner that consolidated data sources, powered a predictive model to identify infection risks, and supported a daily health survey to monitor campus wellness. The solution enabled end-to-end population management and delivered measurable impact: a 0.4% COVID-19 positivity rate, 81% first‑year student retention, and 700 quarantine cases automatically processed.
