Nordic & Allina Health improve provider efficiency and satisfaction

 
What Nordic helped us to do is to take the raw data from that [the EHR] and operationalize it using a dashboard so we could see it trended over time. We could use it more dynamically, we could focus in on our provider or pull out and focus on the organization specialty or a department.
