In an era where 90% of healthcare data has been generated in the last two years (Deloitte), hospitals and clinics face a critical challenge: turning overwhelming data into actionable insights. For one of India’s leading multi-specialty hospitals, this challenge was costing them 15% annual patient churn and 40% longer wait times.
Enter DigiTechno India. By deploying cutting-edge big data solutions, we helped them slash wait times by 30%, boost repeat appointments by 20%, and unlock ₹2.5 crore in annual savings. Here’s how we did it.
The Client’s Challenge
- Fragmented Data Systems: Patient records, appointment logs, and feedback were siloed across 5+ platforms.
- High Patient Churn: 15% of patients did not return due to long wait times and impersonal follow-ups.
- Operational Inefficiencies: Staff spent 8+ hours weekly manually compiling reports.
Their Goal:
- Centralize data for real-time decision-making.
- Personalize patient engagement to improve retention.
- Optimize resource allocation (staff, rooms, equipment).
