Case Study: University of Ottawa Heart Institute achieves better care and efficiency with Microsoft Corporation

University of Ottawa Heart Institute - Customer Case Study

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute, a leading cardiac center and research hospital in Canada, needed better visibility into perioperative workflows, procedure-room utilization, costs, and procedural variation. Before working with Microsoft Corporation, leaders relied on siloed systems and slow reporting tools, making it difficult to get timely, consistent insight for patient care, operations, and research.

Microsoft Corporation, through Picis Envision built on Microsoft Power BI, SQL Server, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Machine Learning, helped deliver real-time dashboards with secure, role-based access to data. The result was faster reporting, better decision-making, and improved operational performance, including an 8% increase in utilization of expensive procedure rooms, while also supporting more consistent care and deeper analysis of costs and outcomes.
