Reduce the Number of Tests Required for Effective Treatment Plans

A world renowned research hospital with one of the largest laboratory testing facilities in the country needed to redesign their genetic research dashboard to support oncologists and hematologists in identifying key factors correlating to certain cancer types. Cancer patients go through a number of tests, with each one leading to more time-consuming processes for both patients and our client, resulting in higher costs and anxiety for patients. Our client’s goal was to reduce the number of tests and panels needed to identify a timely and effective treatment plan for each patient.

User Friendly, Optimized Dashboard

Our expert data visualization team collaborated closely with hematologists and oncologists to design a next-generation dashboard tailored to their needs. Key steps included:

Data Modeling for Precision: We worked with medical leads to create a robust data model that correlated panel test results with cancer types, enabling faster pattern recognition and insights.
Automated Updates and Scalability: The new data structure allowed for seamless ingestion of new datasets and automated updates, ensuring the dashboard stays current without manual intervention.
Hematology-Focused Features: A dedicated hematology section was added, designed to maximize engagement and usability, ensuring specialists could quickly access relevant data.
Best Practices for Sustainability: We provided hands-on Tableau training and data modeling governance empowering the hospital’s team to independently maintain and evolve the solution over time.
