Synopsis: Obtaining an enterprise assessment provided Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) with a wealth of insights, opportunities, and untapped cost efficiencies. This case study—the second in a series exploring an enterprise assessment journey from start to finish—highlights the key opportunities BSMH’s assessment revealed, including an opportunity to save operating costs, and examines how BSMH chose to act on these findings.

Depending on its size, a health system may spend anywhere from $2 million to more than $20 million on clinical quality data activities every year—and many leaders don’t have a full understanding of where untapped cost efficiencies may lie.
