Thibodaux Regional Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, a 149-bed acute care facility in Louisiana, needed to improve efficiency and free up millions in revenue that was stuck in delayed claims processing and billing. The hospital’s operations team used Minitab Statistical Software to support its Six Sigma quality improvement efforts and analyze the factors slowing the accounts receivable process.

Using Minitab’s regression analysis, the team identified process bottlenecks and changed coding procedures so bills were ready sooner, reducing average accounts receivable days by 10 and saving nearly $2 million. Minitab also helped Thibodaux Regional Medical Center reduce medication errors by 42%, UTIs by 38%, and radiology turnaround time by 29%, contributing to top-tier patient satisfaction.
