How Alteas Health Uses Knowi for HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare Analytics
Alteas Health, a healthcare provider specializing in coordinated patient care, replaced manual Python scripts with Knowi's self-service analytics platform. Their team now integrates data from HR systems, clinical records, and financial reporting into unified dashboards, enabling everyone from new hires to the CEO to make data-driven decisions while maintaining HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II standards.
"Knowi has had a transformative impact on our organization's data analytics. The seamless integration of data sources, coupled with the user-friendly interface, has revolutionized the way we approach data analytics."Yaakov G., Co-Founder & CEO at Alteas Health
Limited Data Access Required Python Scripts for Every Analysis
Alteas Health faced significant challenges in accessing and analyzing their data. The only way any analysis could be conducted was if someone with high technical skill wrote Python scripts to pull and manipulate the data. This approach made data analysis cumbersome, technically demanding, and cost-intensive.
The company needed visibility into:
- Overall provider productivity and performance
- Financial reporting and incentive management
- Clinical outcomes and patient care quality
- Historical data trends and predictive insights
The inability to connect disparate systems or integrate additional data sources further compounded these challenges, restricting their capacity to make informed decisions or implement changes swiftly.
"The problem was the very limited access to data. The only way any analysis could be conducted was if someone with high technical skill wrote Python scripts to pull and manipulate the data. For example, incentivizing providers required a clear understanding of their current activities, a task that proved to be very complex without direct access to data."
Chosen Over Tableau and Power BI for Ease of Use
Alteas Health evaluated Tableau and Power BI before selecting Knowi. Despite the capabilities of those products, they required a significant level of technical expertise that made them less accessible for the team. Knowi presented a much simpler interface and process for creating data visualizations, which was the key factor in their decision.
The platform's natural language processing (NLP) capabilities meant non-technical users could ask questions of their data directly, without writing queries or relying on engineering resources.
Self-Service Analytics for Every Role in the Organization
Knowi transformed Alteas Health's data analysis capabilities by enabling data integration across all their sources. The platform connected HR systems (work schedules, holidays, hours), clinical data, and financial reporting into a single analytics layer.
The shift to self-service analytics empowered users across the organization, including the CEO, to directly engage with data, build their own reports, and derive actionable insights. This marked a significant departure from their previous reliance on external technical resources.
A new hire with limited technical background and a career transition from the police force was able to handle the majority of the visualization and dashboard workload after Knowi's training program, freeing up experienced staff for other tasks.
"Knowi's powerful Natural Language Processing capabilities and dynamic data visualization tools have empowered our team to access and analyze data with unprecedented ease and accuracy. This has significantly elevated the quality of care we provide to our patients by streamlining our operational processes."
