About The Customer

Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care (Thrive SPC) is a healthcare organization that provides clinical home care to medically fragile children. They leverage innovative technology and data insights to deliver their services. The organization has grown organically and through acquisitions, which has led to the need for managing multiple electronic medical record systems with different data reporting mechanisms. Thrive SPC is committed to using data-driven solutions to improve their patient care and minimize financial concerns caused by issues such as staffing and shift hours discrepancies.

The Challenge

Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care (Thrive SPC) is a healthcare organization dedicated to providing exceptional clinical home care to medically fragile children. Their mission is powered by innovative technology and in-depth data insights. However, when Thrive SPC acquired two different types of healthcare organizations, they faced a significant challenge: managing multiple electronic medical record systems with different data reporting mechanisms. These complex and disparate systems were impossible to manage individually and manually. Thrive SPC needed a way to prepare and store data in a reliable and accessible manner. The organization was also struggling with competing and confusing spreadsheets, which hindered the efficiency and organization of their data projects.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Thrive SPC embarked on a 'self-augmenting journey' with Snow Fox Data, a Dataiku consulting partner. Snow Fox Data helped Thrive SPC create an analytics platform that ingests data from their source systems and allows users to build end-to-end data solutions. They introduced Dataiku as part of the analytics platform, which enabled Thrive SPC to take independent ownership of their data projects. Thrive SPC could easily expand upon the data dashboards that Snow Fox Data crafted by using Dataiku in combination with Power BI. Additionally, Snowflake was used as the data lakehouse in this analytics platform. Once Thrive SPC ingested the data and worked through data workflows with Dataiku, Snowflake served as the processing and storage function, creating an elastic and scalable place to keep data. Dataiku’s seamless connection with Snowflake allowed users to manipulate data in Snowflake without leaving the Dataiku interface.

Operational Impact

The implementation of the analytics platform, Dataiku, Snowflake, and Snow Fox Data, has transformed Thrive SPC's operations. The organization has moved away from confusing spreadsheets and towards a more organized and inclusive way of working on data projects. The development and deployment of centralized reports have improved business processes, enabling better tracking of weekly team progress, regional goals, and daily tactical metrics. This has allowed Thrive SPC to better serve children and their families by using the insights from these reports to reach excellence in their patient care. Furthermore, the integration of these platforms into their daily processes has opened up new areas in the data to be explored and the acquisition of new data to be managed effectively. This means that there are still new solutions to be discovered that will ensure high-quality clinical home care.
