Replace Tableau + PowerBI + Excel + Custom Reports With One Platform
Analytics sprawl is a governance and cost problem that compounds every year. When the quality team uses Tableau, the finance team uses Power BI, and clinical operations runs reports out of the EHR's native reporting module, there are three different numbers for the same metric — and three separate maintenance burdens. Vizier establishes a single source of truth with healthcare-specific data models already built for clinical, financial, and operational use cases.
| Tool | Annual License Cost | Implementation Time | Healthcare Knowledge | IT Dependency | HIPAA Readiness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tableau Enterprise | $70K/yr license | 3–6 months | None built-in | High — developers required | Requires custom configuration |
| Microsoft Power BI Premium | $240K/yr (P1 capacity) | 4–18 months | None built-in | High — DAX/Power Query expertise | Azure HIPAA configuration required |
| Custom Data Warehouse + BI | $500K–$2M build | 12–24 months | Built by your team | Full engineering team required | Architect and maintain yourself |
| Vizier | Fraction of above costs | 24–48 hours | Healthcare-specific data models built in | Zero for end users | SOC 2 Type II, BAA included |
Traditional BI: 6–18 Months. Vizier: 24–48 Hours.
A traditional enterprise BI implementation at a health system involves: requirements gathering (4–8 weeks), data warehouse architecture design (6–12 weeks), ETL pipeline development (8–16 weeks), data model build (8–16 weeks), dashboard development (4–8 weeks), user acceptance testing (4–6 weeks), and training (2–4 weeks). The median healthcare BI project takes 14 months from contract to go-live. Many never get there.
Vizier's approach starts with your EHR data export — CSV, HL7, FHIR, or direct integration. Healthcare-specific data models for clinical quality, financial performance, and operational metrics are pre-built. A quality director uploads a Centricity export and is running MIPS measure analysis within 48 hours. No data engineering team. No requirements document. No six-month wait.
Data Governance Without a Data Governance Committee
Healthcare data governance typically requires defining data dictionaries, establishing data stewards, creating access control matrices, and managing version control across multiple tools. Vizier centralizes this: one platform, one access control model, one audit log, one data lineage record. CIO teams can see exactly who accessed what data, when, and what they generated from it.
HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and EHR Agnostic — Ready for Healthcare Procurement
Vizier operates as a Business Associate under HIPAA. A signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available at contract signing. PHI is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access controls, audit logging, and breach notification procedures meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements.
- —Encryption at rest and in transit
- —BAA available for all plans
- —Breach notification per §164.410
- —Workforce training documentation
Vizier's infrastructure undergoes annual SOC 2 Type II audits covering Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust service criteria. Audit reports are available to enterprise customers under NDA. Controls cover logical access, change management, risk assessment, and incident response.
- —Annual third-party SOC 2 Type II audit
- —Security, Availability, Confidentiality TSCs
- —Audit reports available under NDA
- —Continuous control monitoring
Vizier connects to any EHR that exports structured data. Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, Greenway, and 30+ additional systems are supported via CSV export, HL7 v2, or FHIR R4 API. EHR direct integrations do not require IT involvement from the customer's side — Vizier handles mapping.
- —Epic, Cerner, Meditech, eCW supported
- —FHIR R4 API and HL7 v2 ingestion
- —CSV export from any EHR works
- —Customer IT team not required
The Total Cost of Your Current Analytics Stack Is Higher Than You Think
Healthcare CIOs typically calculate the cost of analytics tools by license fees alone. The full cost includes: analyst headcount to build and maintain reports (median $95,000–$130,000/year for a healthcare data analyst), infrastructure costs for data warehouse hosting ($40,000–$120,000/year for Azure or AWS), and ongoing customization for each new use case (10–40 hours per new dashboard at $150/hour consultant rate).
The API vs. CSV decision matters for CIO architecture planning. FHIR R4 APIs enable real-time data feeds — appropriate for patient safety dashboards, active care management, and RPM monitoring. CSV exports from EHR data warehouses are appropriate for monthly quality reporting, financial analytics, and strategic planning. Vizier supports both patterns — the right data delivery method for the right use case without forcing a single architecture decision.
