Large Healthcare Provider's Response to Supply Chain Disruption

This case study details how a large U.S. healthcare provider with 15 hospitals and over 1,000 outpatient clinics responded to supply chain disruptions caused by a hurricane. The provider had modernized its data platform, which was crucial in managing the increased data volumes and operational challenges. The Denodo Platform was implemented as a logical data management layer, facilitating data integration from various sources and improving data governance. The study outlines the challenges faced, including data growth, infrastructure limitations, and the need for advanced analytics. It describes how the provider utilized real-time data to manage critical supplies, specifically IV fluids, during the crisis. Key learnings from the experience emphasize the importance of addressing infrastructure limitations, leveraging real-time data access for crisis management, and fostering collaboration between data management and analytics teams. The case study concludes with plans for expanding predictive analytics for further operational improvements.
