Case Study: Jefferson Regional Medical Center achieves streamlined reporting, improved staff productivity and reduced physician documentation deficiencies with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Jefferson Regional Medical Center Cures Information Overload Syndrome

Jefferson Regional Medical Center, a 471‑bed hospital in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, faced information overload: clinicians and administrators needed fast, precise access to patient records, reimbursements, payer mixes, admissions trends, staff productivity and other operational data to manage care and maximize reimbursements. Traditional reports and ad hoc requests overwhelmed IT and slowed decision making.

The hospital implemented Information Builders’ FOCUS and WebFOCUS to create a parameterized, self‑service web reporting portal—organizing about 150 reports into finance, productivity and bed‑management groups and integrating AS/400 and SQL Server sources. The system is used daily across 75 departments, boosting staff productivity, cutting costs, improving physician documentation and deficiency tracking, and delivering measurable ROI (for example, a 28% productivity improvement in Labor & Delivery).
