Case Study: Medium-Sized Short-Term Acute Care Hospital reduces maternity and NICU margin loss with The Craneware Group’s Trisus Healthcare Intelligence

Medium-Sized Short-Term Acute Care Hospital - Customer Case Study

The Craneware Group worked with a medium-sized short-term acute care hospital in a Midwest suburban market to better understand margin loss across obstetrics and neonatal services. The hospital needed a clearer view into DRG performance, length of stay variation, and how clinical and operational differences were affecting both quality and financial outcomes, especially in a competitive local market.

Using Trisus® Healthcare Intelligence, specifically its Margin Analytics and Operational Intelligence capabilities, The Craneware Group analyzed maternity cases with subsequent neonatal stays and identified high-opportunity DRGs. The hospital was losing more than $850,000 annually on Normal Newborn and Neonate with Other Significant Problems cases, and Craneware identified potential savings of $260,000 to $430,000 in neonatal care and $140,000 to $335,000 in obstetrics, for a total opportunity of $400,000 to $765,000, equal to a 6% to 12% cost reduction across deliveries and newborns.
