Mercy’s Journey
Mercy Medical System Sought a Data Lake for a Single View of its Patients –
“One Patient, One Record”
Existing platform impeded goal of enriching Epic data for 1 million patients
over 35 Hospitals and 500 clinics
Moving Epic EMR data to Clarity EDW took 24 hours and was “never going
to enable real-time analytics”. Now that takes 3-5 minutes with HDP.
Improved billing processes resulted in $1M additional annual revenue
from newly documented secondary diagnoses and care

Data Virtualization and Benefits

18
-Source: “Gartner Market Guide for data virtualization – 2016”
Data virtualization technology can be used to create virtualized and
integrated views of data in memory (rather than executing data movement
and physically storing integrated views in a target data structure), and
provides a layer of abstraction above the physical implementation of data.”
Data Virtualization – Definition

19
Data Virtualization
Real-time Data Integration
“Data virtualization integrates disparate data sources in real time or near-real time
to meet demands for analytics and transactional data.”

Powering Self-Service Discovery with Data
Virtualization

30
Financial Data Mart
Primary Use Case
o Unify disparate accounting and finance data marts across various legacy
organizations into a shared repository
Secondary Use Cases
o Provide a unified source for key BI initiatives like the GPO Dashboard
o Support reporting needs as legacy systems are migrated or replaced during
integration of Vizient and L-MDAS (dbVision, etc.)
o Provide a final resting place for archived legacy sources like Solomon, Epicor,
etc.

31
Financial Data Mart
Architectural Approach
Denodo was selected as the data platform in order to utilize the following
features of the software:
o Data Virtualization allows sources in various mediums and locations to be
integrated without physically moving the data
o Data Abstraction allows data to be represented consistently within the
DataMart while data sources are moved or replaced behind the scenes
o Data Integration allows for a single seamless view to be created across a
subject area (e.g. “Supplier Sales”) with varied data transformation rules
for each data source within the subject area (PRS, dbVision).

32
GPO Dashboard
Primary Use Case
o Provide a consolidated view of supplier sales data across all customers of
legacy Vizient & Med Assets organizations.
o Financial DataMart (on Denodo) for data source
o Denodo TDE Exporter Tool for daily data extracts to Tableau:
 Report Data
 Report User Security
o Tableau for report development and distribution

33
GPO Dashboard
Key Challenges
o Balance between data timeliness and report performance
 Tableau reports performed best utilizing the TDE format (cached/extracted dataset) as
opposed to a live connection
 This meant that the report caches required daily refreshes, and data extraction had to
be appropriately tuned
 Denodo features such as dataset statistics and indexing greatly contributed to this
performance tuning
o Provisioning user security at cell level
 The requirement for some internal report users to be restricted to the
members/customers to which they are assigned meant that a new report security
approach was needed
 Reliance on TDEs for report data necessitated the integration of security in the reporting
layer
 Tableau’s “data blending” feature allows user security to be specified within a separate
dataset
 This also supports reuse of the security view in other reporting environments.

34
Contract Sales Actualizer Dashboard
Primary Use Case
o Integrate Member Spend and Supplier Sales data from all Vizient organizations to identify
opportunities for increasing contract utilization
Other Use Cases
o Maintain consistency (Single Source Of Truth) with GPO dashboard regarding:
 Supplier Sales Data
 Dimension Data
 User Security
o Data source utilizes Denodo to reuse overlapping datasets (sales, dimensions, security) while
allowing separate virtualized views to be created for new datasets (member spend) which can
be also be reused by future projects
o Reporting components match approach used by GPO Dashboard

35
Contract Sales Actualizer Dashboard
Key Challenges
o Successful integration of Exadata RDM as a data source for Denodo.
 Approach utilizes the strength of Exadata RDBMS for aggregating large
quantities of data quickly
 Denodo to integrate the data with similar legacy SQL Server data sources to
create a comprehensive view of Vizient member spend
o Scalability/Configuration Management
 Advances were made to support parallel development of this project and
continued efforts on GPO dashboard
 Compartmentalization features within Denodo allow for code changes in each
project to be version controlled and assessed for dependencies
 Process guidelines are being authored to allow for multiple development efforts
on the same datasets
