Hospital Corporation of America

Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) is the leading provider of healthcare services in the United States, operating an international network of nearly 300 hospitals and outpatient surgical centers in 23 states, England and Switzerland with an average of nearly 15 million patient encounters annually.

Initially HCA was operating data marts on a variety of platforms for its business intelligence infrastructure, which proved complicated and time-consuming. So HCA opted for an Enterprise Data Warehouse from Teradata and added business intelligence tools for data management, analysis and reporting. HCA has witnessed measurable improvements in payer reporting and analysis and overall faster, easier access to information across the enterprise. The Teradata Warehouse solution helped HCA lower purchasing costs by millions in pharmaceuticals and medical supplies while reducing inventory and shortening monthly revenue reporting cycles by 75%.
