The Challenge

District health directors coordinate across county lines with fragmented visibility

Multi-County Visibility

Each county reports separately with no unified view of health outcomes, hospital capacity, or emerging threats. Patterns that span county lines go unnoticed.

99 counties, 99 data silos

Scattered Data Sources

Hospital financials in one system, surveillance data in another, county health rankings in a third. Answering one question requires 3+ logins.

4+ systems per question

Quarterly Reporting Burden

The state health department requires regional aggregates. CMS wants county-level detail. The board needs trend analysis. Each audience wants a different cut.

3+ weeks per quarterly cycle

Late Threat Detection

By the time a crisis surfaces in annual data, the window for intervention has passed. Cross-county monitoring happens 6-12 months too late.

6-12 month data lag
