Case Study: Lehigh Valley Health Network achieves improved productivity, trusted data and $4.4M staffing cost avoidance with Strata Decision Technology

How Lehigh Valley Health Network Improves Productivity & Data Integrity

Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), a multi‑campus health system serving seven Pennsylvania counties, faced unreliable, inconsistent and stale data that prevented managers from benchmarking and driving performance improvement. To regain trust in their metrics, LVHN partnered with Strata Decision Technology to implement Axiom™ Comparative Analytics and Axiom™ Productivity Reporting, integrating data from revenue cycle, payroll, EMR and budgeting systems so leaders could make apples‑to‑apples comparisons.

Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom solutions automated data integration and reporting—raising automatic updates to 95%, cutting report run time from 3–5 days to 1 hour, and reducing routine biweekly reports from six to two—while enabling transparent dashboards and drill‑downs. The result: $4.4 million in staffing cost avoidance (about $3.3M in patient care services and $1.1M in imaging), faster, actionable monthly decisions on staffing and productivity, and renewed trust in the data to guide ongoing performance improvements.
