Healthcare Cost Analysis in Action

See how healthcare professionals use Sourcetable to optimize their financial operations

Emergency Department Cost Optimization

A busy emergency department was struggling with unpredictable costs and budget overruns. Using Sourcetable, they analyzed cost patterns by time of day, day of week, and patient acuity levels. The AI identified that staffing costs spiked during certain shifts while patient volume didn't justify the expense. By optimizing staff schedules based on data-driven insights, they reduced operational costs by 18% while maintaining quality care.

Surgical Suite Efficiency Analysis

A surgical center needed to understand the true cost of different procedures to negotiate better insurance rates. Sourcetable automatically tracked all associated costs - from surgical supplies to anesthesia time to recovery room utilization. The analysis revealed that certain procedures were significantly underpriced, leading to renegotiated contracts that improved profitability by $2.3 million annually.

Pharmaceutical Cost Management

A hospital pharmacy was facing budget pressure from rising drug costs. Using Sourcetable's AI analysis, they identified generic substitution opportunities, bulk purchasing advantages, and usage patterns that revealed waste. The automated alerts for price changes and expiration dates helped reduce pharmaceutical costs by 22% while maintaining formulary compliance.

Patient Population Cost Analysis

A large medical group wanted to understand cost variations across different patient populations for value-based care contracts. Sourcetable analyzed costs by age group, chronic conditions, and care coordination levels. This revealed that targeted interventions for high-risk patients could significantly reduce overall costs while improving outcomes, leading to a successful population health management program.
