TMCNet:  Aberdeen Determines Business Intelligence Key for Best-in-Class Healthcare

[July 11, 2008]

Aberdeen Determines Business Intelligence Key for Best-in-Class Healthcare

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CHARLESTON, SC, July 11 / MARKET WIRE/ --

eThority, a company delivering powerful
business intelligence software through a user-obvious
interface, announced that it sponsored Aberdeen Group's Benchmark
Report entitled, "Business Intelligence in Healthcare: Have
Providers Found a Cure?" This report provides an all-inclusive look at
the challenges healthcare providers face in tackling their unique data
management and reporting needs. eThority Enterprise
Edition, which was noted in the report through a case study on eThority
customer Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences, is a powerful business intelligence platform that can
solve common pain points such as cost efficiency and regulatory compliance
for healthcare organizations.

In the report, Aberdeen lists "integration capabilities with other
applications" as the most influential selection criteria for choosing and
successfully implementing a BI platform. eThority Enterprise Edition
possesses information management and analytical capabilities that enable
healthcare providers to generate real-time data analysis with data
extracted from primary and secondary data sources. The report notes that
this functionality is vital in the healthcare industry, where accurate
information not only helps manage rising costs, but can mean the difference
between life and death.

Additionally, Aberdeen found that "Best-in-Class" providers are 2.5 times
more likely to have established procedures to review and measure KPIs (key
performance indicators). eThority Enterprise Edition provides healthcare
professionals with a tool to establish these measurements, such as bed
utilization, patient wait times and staff retention rates. In identifying
and gauging these and other KPIs, healthcare providers can improve

efficiency and patient satisfaction, two critical issues in the industry
today.

eThority Enterprise Edition's user-obvious interface allows individuals
with little or no training to successfully use the software. Referenced as
"domain specific data modeling" in the Aberdeen report, eThority almost
instantly allows organizations to leverage data that once took three weeks
to analyze while also maintaining strict compliance guidelines that support
data integrity and chain of custody reporting.
