When Summit Orthopedics needed help with their data, they turned to Nicole for help—and Nicole turned to Compendium.
With over 65 surgeons and physicians across dozens of locations, Summit Orthopedics is one of the largest and most respected ortho teams in the Midwest. But after 35 years of growth, their data had become unwieldy.
Summit’s data analysts were constantly having to wrangle numbers from a slew of sources in order to pull together insights and reports for their executives.
It was a hectic, manual process that was draining valuable resources, so they hired a team of data consultants to help.
Nicole Braegelmann, a specialist in healthcare data, who’s leading the consulting team, says it was immediately clear Summit needed a data warehouse. She and her team soon began consolidating Summit’s key data into one central location, to make their data easily accessible to leaders and others.
“Compendium eliminates the busywork.”
“Building a data warehouse can be a huge job,” says Nicole. “And if it takes too long, leaders often decide it’s not worth doing at all.”
She says that changed once she started using Compendium several years back.
“In the past, we’d get bogged down for weeks on the busywork of a data warehouse—creating load processes for every single table that needs to be brought into the data warehouse,” she says. “Compendium automates that process.”
“I can do it in two minutes.”
How does it work?
Nicole says she uses Compendium’s Automation Hub to bring in raw copies of tables from all of Summit’s source systems, basically with just the click of a few buttons.
“I can just search for a table in the Compendium Data Catalog, select a full or an incremental load, and choose what time the load process should run,” she says.
“The process is simple enough that, honestly, it doesn’t even require a data engineer.”
“Instead of spending all my time on busywork, I can focus on helping Summit be more strategic with their data,” says Nicole. “Compendium’s Automation Hub helps me get to that work a lot faster.”
Designed for the art and science of data
“Data architects and engineers usually have to spend a lot of time on tasks that aren’t adding value,” says Kevin Campbell, founder and CEO of Compendium.
“But when they’re spending all their time creating load processes for hundreds of tables, they can’t do the work they’re actually skilled at—like building enhanced data structures and solving complex business challenges. We designed Compendium to free up data practitioners so they can focus on where the real art happens: creating custom-tailored data objects that meet the specific needs of business users.”
As for Nicole, there’s no question about the value of this tool. “I would never go back to working without Compendium,” she says.
