Join us as we introduce Birst 5X and welcome our featured speaker, Mike Bozek, VP of Business Line Management for Cancer Care Solutions at Elekta who will describe how this innovative human care company uses business intelligence to make a difference in people’s lives.
Traditional BI and analytics solutions offer fragmented experiences for dashboards, discovery and mobile that target distinct audiences: dashboards for information “consumers” and discovery for information “producers”. This approach locks people into rigid user roles that don’t reflect how the modern business person works with data.
Birst 5X delivers an Adaptive User Experience designed to support how people interact with data, enabling them to seamlessly transition between dashboards, discovery and mobile, connected or disconnected, and turning every information consumer into an information producer. In this webinar, you will:
Find out how Birst 5X breaks down the wall between dashboards and visual discovery
Learn how its enhanced mobile experience supports disconnected analysis to deliver insights anywhere
Understand why interoperability is essential to adapt to heterogeneous analytics environments
Learn how Elekta helps healthcare providers make more informed decisions around the quality of care and business practices

Software applications have historically been built with a very specific purpose in mind. Word processors are designed for writing and editing documents, while spreadsheets are for working with numbers. The same could be said about the business intelligence space with regards to dashboards and visual discovery. For example, most BI and analytics solutions available in the market offer separate products for dashboards and discovery, and they are targeted at clearly distinct audiences. Dashboards are typically aimed at “information consumers”, people who need to monitor their business on a regular basis. Visual discovery, on the other hand, is aimed at “information producers”, those who need to explore data to answer questions and deliver insights to the business. This delineation makes broad – and flawed – assumptions about the way people want to work with data, and ends up locking them inside rigid user roles. Today’s BI solutions must adapt to the modern way of working with data, one that allows people to seamlessly transition between different styles of analysis as part of a single integrated experience, and helps transform information consumers into information producers.
Birst 5X is our latest product release, delivering an Adaptive User Experience that’s designed to transform the way people work with data. With Birst 5X, we’ve reimagined the user experience to adapt to today’s modern business work style. Birst 5X delivers an experience where every information consumer can become an information producer. Birst 5X is designed to adapt to how people work with data. It breaks down the walls between dashboard and discovery with a single integrated experience. It supports mobile work styles with insights anywhere, anytime, connected or disconnected. And it allows people who have already adopted other front-end tools to do analysis against a trusted source of data.
Birst 5X transforms the way people work with data with a reimagined user experience that adapts to the modern work style:
Designed with a “people in”, not “tools out” approach. This means Birst 5X was designed thinking about how, when and where people work with data, and not about how to push features and functions out to users.
It breaks down the walls between dashboards and discovery with a single, integrated experience. A person may start on a dashboard and then seamlessly transition into visual discovery mode to explore data further.
It adapts to the mobile work style. Birst 5X introduces enhanced mobile capabilities, including offline analysis, responsive design, “create once, use anywhere”, native gesture support, and more.
It fits your current experience, by enabling people to use their existing front-end tool, like Excel, Tableau, or R while giving them a trusted source of data to work with.
Most BI and analytics solutions available in the market offer separate products for dashboards and discovery, and they are targeted at clearly distinct audiences. Dashboards are typically aimed at “information consumers” while visual discovery is aimed at “information producers”. The truth, however, lies somewhere in between. While a head of Sales might rely on operational dashboards to analyze her quarterly pipeline, she may also need access to a visual discovery environment to ask follow-up questions that may not be answered in a pre-built dashboard. What are the largest opportunities at risk? Is there a correlation between average deal size and sales rep seniority? What is the probability of exceeding target based on past performance? People shouldn’t have to think about what a dashboard is vs. a data visualization. They just want to work with data. By blurring the lines between dashboards and discovery, information consumers can become information producers, making the entire organization significantly more productive.
But it’s not only about “how” people work with data. It’s also about “where”. How many of us check our business email shortly after waking up each morning? Or catch up on work on the train ride to the office? The modern work style has untethered us from our desks, and every day we make important business decisions when we’re not sitting in front of our computers. A recent study by Forrester Research1 shows that the percentage of IT leaders who make BI applications available on mobile devices has quadrupled since 2012. And yet, the same report argues that the transformational potential of mobile BI remains underexplored. BI solutions must give people access to insights anywhere they go, connected or disconnected.
Birst 5X delivers insights anytime, anywhere, and gives people the ability to interact with live data with or without network connectivity. Birst 5X supports “responsive design,” which adjusts the layout of the content depending on the form factor. A “build once, deploy anywhere” model eliminates the need to develop multiple copies of a dashboard in order to view it on different devices.
Ensuring success with BI and analytics also means recognizing that different people prefer different tools. Despite the existence of centrally-sanctioned enterprise standards, today people can easily download a variety of self-service products to analyze their data. Unfortunately this brings with it a greater risk of analytical silos and reporting chaos. Gartner estimates that, by 2016, less than 10% of self-service BI initiatives will be governed sufficiently to prevent inconsistencies that adversely affect the business. In other words, we’ll spend more time arguing about whose numbers are right instead of having meaningful business conversations. BI solutions must adapt to a heterogeneous analytics environment, empowering people to use their tool of choice while giving BI/IT teams the mechanisms to maintain governance.
A new Open Client Interface in Birst 5X extends a company’s existing business ecosystem. The Open Client Interface enables people that have already adopted another front-end tool, such as Microsoft Excel, Tableau or R, to use their product of choice with Birst, giving them a trusted source of data to work with and delivers self-service without sacrificing governance.
With our unique user data tier in place, Birst then integrates end-user tools into that data model, unlocking the full breadth of your enterprise data regardless of how end-users need to consume it. This is critical as other products have separate end-user tools that require duplicate data modeling efforts or worse, are unaware of any enterprise data view and create data silos. Birst enables the full range of end-user access models, including :
Enterprise reporting
Predictive analytics
Interactive dashboards
Visual discovery
Design
Mobile Analytics
And again, if you want to use Excel or other discovery tools like Tableau to access or update data in the Birst user data tier, this is fine.
While we’re proud of the backend we’ve build, we’re equally product of our front end. We have the great combination of tools targeted a specific users and needs. Nobody else delivers a set of BI tools that has the blend of power and ease of use that we offer at Birst.
With cancer incidences rising and continue to rise due to life expectancy, life style and an aging population – Elekta is committed to find new and innovative was to enable providers to provide the most personalized treatment for everyone.
The cost of cancer care also is rising faster than many sectors of medicine—having increased to $125 billion in 2010 from $72 billion in 2004—and is projected to reach $173 billion by 2020. Rising costs are making cancer care less affordable for patients and their families and are creating disparities in patients’ access to high-quality cancer care.

How Elekta is changing to meet the new needs of customers – this is where we see things headed.....
With Information-guided cancer care...
The patient is at the center, guiding the care
The entire care team is working with the same information and is constantly updated
Decision support and workflow automation drive efficiency and better outcomes
The organization is seamless and consistent across sites and locations
To make the future of treatment management a reality for all, Elekta is shifting from an applications based process to a role based process (information guided process?).
It will enable users (based on their function to work more effectively with clinical and patient information guiding decisions required throughout the patient’s journey.
It is a natural transition which will ensure we deliver future solutions that meet the needs of our customers.
This is how we will get there
Our software product portfolio will be managed across three areas: Tx Management, Care Management and Knowledge Management.
Tx Management
The co-ordination of treatment from diagnosis to recovery/re-treatment
Care Management
The co-ordination of patient care and practice operational and financial performance.
Knowledge Management
Descriptor needed here
Value based payment – as the market has shifted and we are at the cross section of moving toward a value-based healthcare system where fee-for-service no longer reigns, hospital systems are focused on driving quality. This mean leveraging IT systems in a cost effective manner to connect disparate information across the continuum. To achieve quality measure, you first need be able to measure quality and rely on single source of truth and strong platform.
We cannot manage what we cannot measure and what we will talk about today are analytics solutions that enable you to measure costs, safety, effectiveness in real-time.
With readmissions coming at a costly price to the health system – your providers need to deliver the right treatment the 1st time, it is as simple as that. But, to do so you need to make evidence based decisions based on the accumulation and assimilation of data. This means ensuring the adherence to protocols and being able to quickly measure how often protocols are being used, etc. lack of evidence-based choices can lead to costly U-turns hindering an organization’s ability to control costs. Today more than 2/3rd of treatments are not based on evidence medicine.
As the market shifts to bundled payment –the ability to manage populations including early diagnosis and testing, auto-enrollment into clinical trials and segmentation becomes more important than ever. With one lump sum to treat a patient – every decision is critical to providing the highest level of care.
Patients are smarter, more informed than ever and playing a larger role in their treatment. With patient satisfaction being a significant lever to claw back money from CMS we need tools to measure things like how long a patient waits to be seen, understand how long from consultation to treatment and to measure clinical effectiveness of the treatment they have received – not in a 6month retrospective manner, but in real-time.
IOM calls for a Learning Healthcare IT system
Evidence-Based Care and Improved Information Technology
Clinical research that gathers evidence of the benefits and harms of various treatment options is an essential part of a high-quality cancer care system. Patients, in consultation with their care teams, could use this information to make treatment decisions that are consistent with their needs, values, and preferences. Improving the evidence base will require expanding the breadth and depth of data collected on cancer interventions, including more data on older adults and patients with multiple chronic diseases, as well as more data on patient-reported outcomes, patient characteristics, and health behaviors.
A learning health care IT system would enable real-time analysis of data from cancer patients in a variety of care settings to improve knowledge and inform medical decisions. This IT system would collect and analyze data from clinical practice, implement changes to improve care, evaluate the outcomes of these changes, and generate new hypotheses to test and implement. Many of the elements for a learning health care IT system— such as electronic health records and cancer registries—already are in place, but these elements often are not implemented or integrated in a way that creates a true learning system. The committee recommends that professional organizations and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) develop the necessary components of a learning health care IT system.

Over the past decade, the evolution from data to insights has been pretty significant. What began as manual searches for date elements in a paper environment has quickly moved into database queries. Looking for more data mining capabilities, excels served as a way to collect rows and columns of information developing charts to view aggregated information – but was extremely limiting. Data in this situation is not up to date, difficult to link data from multiple sources. What has evolved overtime is the need to manage knowledge in a real-time, highly visual manner in the form of dashboards.
Real-time dashboards, enable visualization of multiple data elements and enable drill down capability. With the ability to utilize dashboards to proactively manage clinical, operational and financial needs data has been transformed from disparate data sources into knowledge.
