Case Study: Indiana University Health achieves 90-day enterprise data warehouse and near-real-time executive dashboard with Health Catalyst

How to Quickly Integrate Source Marts into a Healthcare Enterprise Data Warehouse

Indiana University Health, an academic health system with 18 hospitals, 3,300 staffed beds and more than 3,700 physicians and allied professionals, needed an enterprise data warehouse to turn terabytes of clinical, operational and financial data into actionable insights. Existing tools (including its Cerner EHR) and prior early‑binding EDW attempts left IU Health with fragmented, delayed reporting and limited agility, so the health system engaged Health Catalyst to deliver a scalable analytics platform.

Health Catalyst implemented its Late‑Binding™ Data Warehouse and related applications (including an executive dashboard, Key Process Analysis, Cohort Finder and Comorbidity Analyzer) and integrated IU Health’s Cerner EHR within 90 days, loading 14 billion rows covering 10 years of data. The solution replaced 30‑day retrospective reports with near‑real‑time operational visibility via an interactive dashboard, established a single source of truth, and set the stage for advanced analytics and ongoing performance improvements.
