Case Study: Arizona Department of Health Services achieves faster, automated newborn screening analysis with Sisense

Analyzing Data Quickly to Make Medical Breakthroughs

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) oversees public-health programs including newborn screening for 28 blood disorders across more than 90,000 infants a year. ADHS faced a labor‑intensive, Excel‑based process that made it slow and difficult to identify causes of failed screens and emerging quality issues—delays that risked missing windows for early treatment.

ADHS implemented Sisense, going live in a day, to provide interactive dashboards, daily data loads, and automated reporting. The solution eliminated much manual prep, sped up trend detection and decision‑making, freed staff to focus on analysis, and enabled future quality alerts to hospitals while being applied to other areas like IT portfolio reviews.
