Case Study: Sibley Heart Center Cardiology achieves week-to-minutes reporting and evidence-based insights from 20 years of patient data with Qlik

Sibley analyzes 20 years of records for diagnostic research, cost control with QlikView

Sibley Heart Center Cardiology is one of the largest pediatric cardiology practices in the U.S., covering 18 locations, 40 physicians and hundreds of thousands of patient records dating back to 1990. Leadership struggled with slow, manual reporting and limited analysis—month-end reports took days, ad hoc queries up to a week, and staff were spending hours exporting and reverse-engineering data in Excel, which blocked research and operational decision‑making.

By deploying QlikView, Sibley loaded millions of rows of historical data in minutes, built a pilot app the same day and a diagnostic application within 30 days. The practice cut ad hoc query turnaround from a week to minutes, eliminated the need to hire a dedicated analyst, automated budgeting, enabled 20 years of evidence‑based research and benchmarking, and improved financial and operational visibility for better cost control and grant opportunities.
