Data import and overview

Hospitals overview

Analysis of total discharges

Analysis of length of stay

Initial comparison of hospitals

Roll up your sleeves and scrub in—it’s time to get operating on some insights! This chapter is all about identifying hospital performance outliers and revealing what attributes most influence length of stay and cost per patient discharge. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your DAX skills by building some more complex measures and calculated tables.

Analyzing Hospital Performance and Benchmarking

Cost analysis by hospital

Calculating relative differences

Highlighting the outliers

Factors impacting efficiency

Impact of surgical program size

Investigating root cause

In this final chapter, you’ll focus on building your final dashboard into a cohesive and interactive report. You’ll incorporate the HealthStat branding for an appealing display, optimize user-friendly navigation features, and close off by adding a dynamic title.
