Tableau Software's workbooks and dashboards will be integrated into Epic's EHR through a new partnership agreement.
Tableau Software offers business analytics software. Through the new partnership, Epic end-users will have direct access to the company's analytics tools.
"Tableau has been essential in our effort to transform clinical data from Epic into actionable insights, enabling us to deliver these insights into the real-life workflows of clinicians and healthcare administrators. Examples include predictive models that drive our population health and readmission reduction efforts and actionable quality dashboards for primary care providers," said Ari Robicsek, MD, vice president of clinical analytics and associate CMIO at NorthShore University HealthSystem, based in Evanston, Ill.
