Case Study: Franciscan Alliance achieves trusted, unified analytics and rapid COVID-19 reporting with Informatica

Franciscan Alliance Delivers Trusted Analytics to Improve Decision Making

Franciscan Alliance, a multi-hospital, mission-driven healthcare system serving northern/central Indiana and eastern Illinois, needed a trusted data foundation to support value-based care and rapidly evolving needs like COVID-19 reporting and patient-satisfaction analytics. The organization faced fragmented data across EMR, CRM, ERP, payer and third‑party sources and required faster delivery of reliable metrics, auditable workflows, and enterprise-wide metric approval to build end-user trust.

Franciscan implemented an integrated Informatica stack (Enterprise Data Catalog, Axon Data Governance, PowerCenter, Cloud Data Integration and Data Quality) on Microsoft Azure to scan, catalog and consolidate multiple sources into governed data marts with stewardship workflows. The program unified definitions across the enterprise, enabled government reporting in days rather than weeks, helped secure millions in COVID‑related stimulus funds, and delivered a single source of truth for staff, operational leaders and executives.
