Case Study: University of Chicago Medicine achieves value-based, data-driven care and 15–20% fewer cardiac arrests with TIBCO Software

Digital Transformation Saves Lives in the New Era of Value-based Care

University of Chicago Medicine (UCM), a leading academic medical center, faced fragmented data across multiple systems that slowed clinical decision‑making and complicated a critical shift from fee‑for‑service to value‑based care. Disconnected patient, billing, and asset information made accurate records, timely interventions, and efficient operating‑room and ventilator use difficult—issues that became even more urgent during the pandemic.

Using TIBCO’s connected data platform, UCM centralized and integrated HIPAA‑compliant patient, financial, and operational data, enabling real‑time analytics and workflows such as the eCART predictive alerting system. The result: faster, more targeted care, streamlined billing and payments, improved asset utilization and COVID reporting, and an estimated 15–20% reduction in in‑hospital cardiac arrests.
