Case Study: Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen achieves 80% faster audits and KPI-driven clinical transparency with QlikView (Qlik)

QlikView puts important key data permanently in view for Marienhospital

Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen is a 500+ bed academic training hospital that needed greater transparency to meet new DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) regulations and to optimize clinical and administrative processes. Faced with 27,000 patient records spread across SAP, KIS, DRG System and other sources, Excel-based analysis could not cope, leaving important insights hidden and audits and budget negotiations slow and inefficient.

The hospital implemented QlikView (with partner Transact), building a DRG analysis app in three weeks and rolling it out to 30 users across multiple departments. By linking diverse data sources and delivering KPI-driven, intranet-accessible dashboards, QlikView enabled real-time control of processes, faster audits (audit time cut from ~3 weeks to 2–3 days, an 80% reduction), improved patient-care decision making and broad use across finance, IT, quality management and HR.
