Case Study: University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics achieves 58% reduction in surgical site infections with Statistica

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics - Customer Case Study

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, a leading U.S. medical center, faced a critical challenge: surgeons needed real-time insight into which patients were at risk for surgical site infections so they could make life‑saving treatment decisions. Surgical site infections are common, dangerous, and drive significant cost and length of stay.

The team deployed an enterprise-grade big data and predictive analytics platform that merges historical EMR data with live operating‑room inputs, runs models in real time, and makes results available via web or mobile. The solution enabled personalized, preventative care and drove a 58% reduction in surgical site infections while lowering costs and improving decision precision.
