Business Intelligence for Human Services
The BI Collaborative exclusively serves Human Services Providers — IDD, Behavioral & Mental Health, Children & Youth, and Addiction Service Providers — helping them turn data into actionable information to create efficiencies, optimize quality, and drive cost and revenue improvements.
The Challenge
All Human Services Providers share similar challenges.
- Siloed Data (departments & systems)
- Huge Manual Efforts to pull data for reporting
- Data is often late or outdated for reporting or decision making
- No “single source of truth” for Management Insights
- Not prepared to compete in APM or Value Based contract
- Source System reporting is limited to only data in that system
- Information is not easily available or digestible
- Many people pulling data for different purposes
- We don’t know our cost/margin at unit of service
- Lack of IT resources
According to research from Aberdeen, McKinsey & Forrester:
“Data-driven organizations are 30% more likely to reach their goals, 6% more profitable and have a 173% advantage in efficiently complying with regulations.”
