Case Study: Seattle Children's Hospital achieves faster insights, reduced wait times and $3M in savings with Tableau Software

Seattle Children's Improves Patient Care with Better Insight, Faster

Seattle Children’s, a top-ranked pediatric hospital in Seattle, faced the challenge of removing waste from clinical and operational processes to free up resources for patient care. The organization needed faster, more accessible ways to analyze patient and hospital data but lacked the time and staff to produce timely insights that could improve quality, safety, and throughput.

By deploying Tableau’s browser-based analytics, Seattle Children’s empowered clinicians, analysts, and managers to build their own visual dashboards—cutting dashboard build times from weeks to months or days—and uncover root causes of delays. The hospital has realized tangible results, including $3 million in supply-chain savings, shorter patient wait times through improved on‑time starts, and effectively increased bed capacity to treat more children.
