The U.S. healthcare industry has come head-to-head with tremendous challenges that have the potential to cripple the industry and reap havoc on multiple stakeholders, whose different interests and incentives have made change and progress difficult. However, a new era of data-driven healthcare is emerging as players are starting to explore the power of “big data.” […]

Much has been touted about Big Data being “schema-less,” thus minimizing data modeling, especially Physical Data Modeling. At a low level (e.g., Map Reduce level), there is some truth to this as Map Reduce works with key value pairs. In the Map phase of a Map Reduce job, the input data is read in and […]

There is growing interest in Big Data these days. The common definition for Big Data is data sets which are too large (e.g., hundreds of terabytes or into petabytes) to be handled by traditional means. Leveraging Big Data requires an extensive degree of parallelism of both data and computing and may take advantage of low-cost […]

Perficient worked with Meriter Health Services to implement Microsoft Business Intelligence and SharePoint 2010 to work in conjunction with their Epic Electronic Medical Records system. The result of this paring has been a decrease in costs, increased efficiency across the organization, and ability to locate relevant information and data quickly.

Perficient recently paired up with Epic Systems to create the first integration of the two systems in the U.S. for DuPage Medical Group. The solution also incorporates the Microsoft Business Intelligence solution, which improves reporting accuracy to drive business efficiency.

Data entry isn’t something most would put on a list of BI tools.  But here’s my thought: I have yet to see a BI system of any size that doesn’t have some need for data entry of some kind, whether maintaining a small reference table or pulling the system’s configuration levers or correcting erroneous inbound […]

A recent article in the WSJ displayed how improving the health of patients is tied to being able to see the big picture. It just so happens that to improve the health of an organization, there is also a need to see the big picture, which requires having access to data. Research has shown that […]

Portal technology has evolved to the point that sites are being built that give the user access to the tools they need to use every day, all day long.
