Case Study: Analyzing Healthcare Data in Power BI

To kick off this case study, you’ll bring the data into Power BI and connect your data model. You’ll learn about measuring efficiency in healthcare, and after a quick check-up on the dataset content, you’ll get started with some initial exploratory analytics. Then, you’ll leverage your DAX skills to create calculated measures and columns.

Roll up your sleeves and scrub in—it’s time to get operating on some insights! This chapter is all about identifying hospital performance outliers and revealing what attributes most influence length of stay and cost per patient discharge. Along the way, you’ll sharpen your DAX skills by building some more complex measures and calculated tables.

In this final chapter, you’ll focus on building your final dashboard into a cohesive and interactive report. You’ll incorporate the HealthStat branding for an appealing display, optimize user-friendly navigation features, and close off by adding a dynamic title.
