Case Study: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) achieves live clinical reporting and improved quality of care with InterSystems Ensemble

MIT Medical Reports on Live Clinical Data with Ensemble, Improving Quality of Care

MIT Medical, the health service for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology community, supports about 30,000 people with 90 clinicians and roughly 130,000 outpatient visits a year. Facing many disparate applications and databases, analysts were producing only retrospective reports in Access and Excel, leaving clinical and management staff without timely, actionable information.

By implementing InterSystems Ensemble, MIT Medical built web-based dashboards that deliver live, rolled-up metrics from multiple sources using business rules and activity monitoring to automate data collection and alerts. The result: trusted, drillable reports available to any authorized user, faster answers to clinical and operational questions (for example about diabetes care and wellness standards), and improved ability to monitor productivity and quality without a full data-warehouse project.
