Streamlining Multi-Platform BI in Healthcare

For most healthcare organizations, the dream of a single, unified analytics platform remains just that—a dream. The reality is a tangled ecosystem of BI tools, each tied to specific departments, legacy systems, or user preferences.

Why Multiple BI Tools Are Inevitable

Even organizations committed to standardization end up with multiple analytics platforms. Why? Because:

• EHR-embedded analytics like Epic’s Clarity or Cerner’s Power Insight are critical for clinical workflows.

• Specialized solutions serve departments such as revenue cycle or supply chain with niche requirements.

• Legacy systems still deliver value, and migrating off them is expensive and disruptive.

• User preferences vary—teams often have established workflows they’re reluctant to give up.

• Vendor partnerships often bundle BI tools into their services.

This multi-tool setup isn’t inherently bad—it’s the unmanaged sprawl that causes friction.

The Real-World Challenges

This complexity introduces problems for both analytics teams and end users:

Analytics Teams Face:

• Juggling expertise across platforms

• Maintaining consistent data definitions

• Managing security and permissions

• Prioritizing development across ecosystems

• Monitoring adoption and performance

End Users Deal With:

• Confusion over where to find the right report

• Learning multiple interfaces

• Uncertainty about data accuracy

• Mistrust in conflicting metrics

• Wasting time navigating a fragmented system

The result? Underused insights, duplicated work, and lost opportunities.

Why Current Solutions Fall Short

Most organizations try to fix this chaos through:

• Standardization mandates—often failing to meet all departmental needs

• Centralized portals—like SharePoint links that quickly go stale

• Analytics catalogs—manually curated spreadsheets that are tough to maintain

These methods treat symptoms, not the root cause: a disconnected user experience.

A Better Way: Unified Discovery

Rather than fighting the multi-tool reality, leading organizations are embracing it—and solving for it with a unified discovery layer. This approach provides:

• Platform-agnostic search across all tools

• Unified metadata for consistency and clarity

• Smart recommendations based on context and usage

• Direct report access within native tools

• Cross-platform governance for certifications and documentation

This bridges the gap between tools and users, increasing adoption, efficiency, and trust.

Enter: The Eureka Platform

The Eureka platform brings this vision to life by:

• Automatically indexing reports across major healthcare BI systems

• Creating a searchable, browsable analytics catalog

• Delivering consistent metadata and descriptions

• Enabling single-click access to native reports

• Supporting governance workflows across platforms

With Eureka, organizations retain their existing tools—but finally connect the dots.
