Case Study: Banner Health achieves automated report distribution and centralized archiving for faster decision‑making with Redwood Software (Redwood Reporting)

Healthcare system automates report distribution and archiving to improve decision-making

Banner Health, a large non-profit U.S. healthcare system with 30 hospitals, 50,000+ employees and over a million members, faced an inefficient, insecure paper- and email-based reporting process. Four hundred users manually handled roughly 175,000 raw reports each month and the organization stored more than 7 million paper reports (the equivalent of 24,000 four-drawer filing cabinets), creating version-control, security and access delays that slowed trend identification and strategic decision-making.

By implementing Redwood Reporting, Banner automated report processing and created a centralized, role-based web repository that digitizes and manages over 7 million reports and processes about 175,000 source reports monthly. More than 400 decision makers now have instant access to 6,000+ unique reports and timely, auditable data, enabling faster analysis, space and bandwidth savings, and quicker, more confident operational and clinical decisions with minimal user training.
