Case Study: University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics achieves a 58% reduction in surgical site infections with TIBCO Software (Statistica)

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Transforms the O.R.

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, a leading academic medical center, needed to reduce surgical site infections—a common and costly hospital-acquired complication—by identifying which patients were most at risk during operations. Surgeons lacked an enterprise-grade analytics platform: their desktop tools couldn’t handle many distributed data sources or deliver real-time insights to frontline teams.

The hospital implemented TIBCO Statistica to aggregate EMR and real-time OR data, develop and deploy predictive models, and deliver results via web and mobile interfaces. That solution enabled individualized, real-time preventive care, cut surgical site infections by about 58%, and made predictive analytics accessible to a small team with potential to expand across other clinical areas.
