The Challenge
The organization has wanted to do more with its Epic
data recently by merging it with data from other source
systems so it could gain insights to:
– Reduce readmissions
– Streamline supply purchasing
– Improve its finances

The Solution
Covenant began working with
Dimensional Insight upon a
recommendation from an executive at
Munson Healthcare, another Dimensional
Insight customer.
Covenant began using Measure Factory to
get a handle on its readmissions data.
The organization has a five, 10, and 15
percent reduction strategy for
readmissions for this fiscal year based on
the base number from Measure Factory.

The Solution
Covenant’s first users are in the quality department:
– Nurse managers are being trained to access DivePort – Dimensional
Insight’s browser-based access to dashboards – to see the
readmissions numbers for their unit each month.
– Each unit has a target to help contribute to the overall reduction in
readmissions.
Covenant spent significant time during the rollout process
on data governance and data validation:
– The validation process allowed the IT department to uncover
workflow errors that the organization hadn’t previously realized.
