Case Study: Community Care, Inc. achieves a two-thirds reduction in data processing time with SAS Data Integration

Manage health care data more quickly

Community Care Behavioral Health Organization, a Pittsburgh-based manager of behavioral health coverage for about 1 million Medicaid, Medicare and commercial members, needed to bring its data warehouse in‑house and combine multiple sources (claims, clinical, eligibility, financial and pharmacy) to better coordinate care and meet regulatory obligations. Facing rapidly growing volumes (claims data of 60 GB and rising) and reliance on an outside vendor, the organization sought faster, more integrated reporting to support clinical decision-making and oversight.

Community Care implemented SAS Data Integration with SAS Consulting to build the in‑house warehouse and apply SAS best practices. As a result, processing time dropped by two‑thirds, reports can run weekly instead of monthly, programming is simpler, and staff can more quickly flag care gaps and measure clinical interventions—enabling better data‑driven decisions, cost‑effective services and faster collaboration with affiliated physical health plans.
