Case Study: Hospital Universitario Lucus Augusti improves patient care and reduces treatment costs with Spotfire

HULA improves processes and patient care with process mining

Hospital Universitario Lucus Augusti (HULA), a care center in Spain, faced the challenge of managing vast amounts of disparate patient data, which made it time-consuming for doctors to access information and retrace a patient's medical journey. The hospital needed a platform to integrate this data, improve departmental efficiency, and enable early patient alerts. They partnered with TIBCO to leverage its process mining capabilities and analytics, seeking a solution usable by doctors and not just data scientists.

By implementing TIBCO's Connected Intelligence Platform and Spotfire analytics, HULA gained a complete view of patient journeys, combining structured and unstructured data. The TIBCO solution enabled advanced process mining to identify bottlenecks and common patterns, significantly speeding up diagnosis times. This resulted in improved early detection methods, better patient outcomes, and lower treatment costs, with savings of up to $40,000 per case by catching diseases like cancer in earlier stages.
