Framework
iScale
A healthcare-specific framework for finding, costing, and removing the bottlenecks in a BI team, without starting the team over. The assessment measures where you stand; the framework says what to change first.
Most healthcare BI teams are not short of demand. They are short of throughput: requests queue behind a few people, definitions are rebuilt per report, and every new source adds to the load without removing any. iScale treats that as a systems problem. It looks at how work enters the team, how it moves, where it waits, and what each wait costs, then ranks the changes by what they free up.
The framework is described across the posts below, including the restaurant metaphor that most people find the fastest way in.
