Scalable BI for corporate health

Power BI dashboard based on 1 standard data request for fast implementation of population, occupational, care and financial indicators in corporate health.

Context

Companies need to monitor the health of the covered population, the impact of absenteeism, healthcare costs, occupational risks and the use of health services. Even so, these data are often fragmented across different areas and systems, making an integrated view of corporate health difficult.

Problem addressed

The challenge was not only to build a dashboard, but to create a replicable model. For the BI to be applied at scale, it was necessary to define 1 standard data request, with a minimum data structure, calculation rules and a common analytical organization for different companies.

Project objective

Build a generic BI model for corporate health, capable of receiving data in a standardized format and generating an executive view of covered population, absenteeism, leaves, ambulatory activity, care indicators, safety and medical claims.

Situation

Companies and corporate health teams need to monitor population risk, absenteeism, care utilization, ambulatory activity, medical claims and occupational indicators, but data are often scattered across HR systems, clinics, payers, providers and spreadsheets.

Task

Create a generic, scalable and replicable BI model for corporate health, based on 1 standard data request, capable of integrating different sources and organizing key management indicators.

Action

Structured a Power BI dashboard with executive overview and thematic modules, organizing population, occupational, care and financial data for comparable analysis and continuous monitoring.

Result

The model helps accelerate analytics implementation in corporate health, reduce rework in data consolidation and standardize the interpretation of strategic indicators across different companies.

Standard data request

The project was designed from 1 standard data request, defining which data the company needs to provide for BI implementation. The data request may include: - Employee registry - Dependent or covered lives registry - Demographic and organizational data - Cost center, unit, area and role - Absenteeism events and sick notes - Leaves and lost days - Occupational health indicators - Safety events and accidents - Ambulatory production - Care utilization - Medical claims and costs - Prevention and health promotion programs - Population risk indicators - Event, accrual and payment dates - Targets and benchmarks, when applicable

Dashboard structure

The dashboard was organized into core modules, allowing both executive overview and deeper analytical exploration. Suggested modules: - Occupational - Safety - Absenteeism - Leave - Ambulatory - Care - Medical Claims The initial view can also bring together key indicators and period filters for comparison with previous periods and benchmark values.

Population and executive view

The executive layer of the BI organizes a summarized view of corporate health, with indicators such as covered lives, percentage of active population, PMPM cost, high-risk percentage, lost days, days per active employee and other key indicators for quick monitoring.

Absenteeism module

The absenteeism module supports the analysis of lost days, sick note frequency, recency, intensity and employee grouping by absence pattern. It can allow segmentation by risk profile and impact concentration.

Leave module

The leave module organizes leave events, time away, recurrence, operational impact and potential groups with higher vulnerability or follow-up needs.

Ambulatory and care modules

The ambulatory and care modules allow monitoring appointments, utilization profile, service demand, care production and potential opportunities to reorganize care and access.

Medical claims module

The medical claims module supports the monitoring of costs, utilization, spending concentration, potential high-impact groups and opportunities for care and cost management.

Occupational and safety modules

The occupational and safety modules help monitor work-related risks, safety events, possible accidents, compliance and useful indicators for prevention and workplace management.

Features

The BI allows: - Analysis period selection - Comparison with previous period - Comparison with benchmark values, when applicable - Executive overview of key indicators - Navigation across management modules - Absenteeism and lost days analysis - Leave monitoring - Care utilization monitoring - Cost and medical claims visualization - Segmentation by groups, areas, units or profiles - Standardized interpretation of indicators - Support for prioritizing actions in corporate health

Technologies used

- Power BI - Power Query - Data modeling - DAX - Standard data request - Management indicators - Data visualization - Dashboard design

How the model scales

The main feature of the project is replicability. Based on 1 standard data request, different companies can provide data in a similar structure, allowing the same BI model to be adapted with less implementation effort. This reduces the need to build dashboards from scratch for each client and supports a scalable analytics offer for corporate health.

Limitations and caveats

- BI quality depends on the quality of data provided by the company. - The data request must be completed consistently. - Some companies may have more complete sources than others. - Business rules must be well defined for events, costs and periods. - Comparative indicators depend on minimum source standardization. - The dashboard does not replace data governance or clear target and use definitions.

Deliverables

- Power BI dashboard - Executive corporate health overview - Occupational module - Safety module - Absenteeism module - Leave module - Ambulatory module - Care module - Medical claims module - Standard data request - Replicable indicator model - Time comparison and benchmarking structure - Decision-support visualizations

Learnings

- Scalable BI starts before the dashboard, with the definition of the data request. - Integration across HR, care and cost data is central to the analysis. - Data standardization reduces rework and accelerates implementation. - Corporate health requires both executive overview and thematic depth. - A good dashboard should support decision-making, prioritization and management discussions.
