Data Transformation

Apogee’s patent pending data transformation engines convert data from encounter data collected at the facility into actionable information about the hospital’s capacity and capabilities. These engines collect data from multiple patient information systems using movable data probes that formulate views of the patient flow pipeline. These “virtual cutaways” of the healthcare process provide decision makers with knowledge about turbulent flow patterns, defective pathways, flow slowdowns and complete blockages. They provide clear targets for managers to take corrective action.

The data transformation engines are also used by Apogee’s Patient Flow specialists to reassemble extraordinary days for performance evaluation, best practice documentation, trend detection and for forecasting system response to future loads or altered hospital patient care processes.

Data Analysis


  • The Patient Flow Center™ analyzes data for trends and outliers: it combines data from multiple sources, aggregates it into higher-level information and tracks resulting information across the patient continuum. It analyzes it to understand where issues exist and compares it to red flag indicators. Alerts are generated when issues arise.
Data Probes


  • The Patient Flow Center™ extracts key data from existing IT systems using software-based data probes. These remotely controlled software agents sample time-stamped information and treatment characteristics embedded within the record during patient episodes. Apogee’s data sampling probes use “listen-only” techniques and are connected at the repository level to sample data without interfering with information system performance.
