Case Study: Multinational Healthcare Organization achieves fast, secure IBM i reporting and one-click Excel exports with Fortra Sequel Data Access

Sequel Makes Data Reporting Fast and Easy for Multinational Healthcare Organization

A multinational healthcare organization was struggling with slow, inconsistent reporting from its MEDHOST IBM i system—employees waited for vital admissions, discharge, billing, and collections reports while IT relied on green‑screen RPG code and outsourced programmers due to a lack of in‑house RPG skills. The inefficient, manual processes made data hard to access and costly to produce across dozens of facilities.

The organization implemented Sequel Data Access, allowing IT to build one query that runs across 100 facilities, deliver browser‑based reports, and give users one‑click export to Microsoft Excel. Built‑in security enforces user‑level access to protect patient privacy (HIPAA), resulting in instant, consistent reports, reduced outsourcing costs, and faster, more empowered decision‑making.
