In this project, I followed an end-to-end process to develop interactive healthcare dashboards using Power BI. The process involved the following steps:
1. Data Import and Transformation
I imported healthcare datasets into Power BI and utilized Power Query for data cleaning and transformation. This ensured the data was in the correct format for analysis, with irrelevant columns removed and necessary transformations applied.
2. Data Modeling
I created relationships between tables to form a coherent data model. This step is crucial to ensure data integrity and optimize performance. The relationships allowed seamless integration of different datasets, facilitating comprehensive analysis.
3. Dashboard Design
I designed the layout of the dashboards to include relevant metrics and KPIs. This involved:
Detailed View: Displaying comprehensive data with filters for date, case type, specialty, age profile, and time bands. This allows users to drill down into specific details.
Summary View: Providing an overview of key metrics, such as waiting lists and case types, using various visualizations like bar charts, line charts, and pie charts. The summary dashboard highlights trends and key insights at a glance.
4. Interactivity
To enhance user experience, I added interactive elements like slicers and tooltips. These features enable dynamic data exploration, allowing users to filter and view data based on their needs. Interactive elements make the dashboard more engaging and user-friendly.
5. Publishing and Sharing
I published the dashboards to the Power BI Service, allowing for easy sharing and collaboration. I also configured refresh schedules to ensure the data remains up-to-date, providing real-time insights.
Purpose
The primary goal of this project was to create a tool that provides stakeholders with a comprehensive and interactive view of key healthcare metrics. The dashboards facilitate data-driven decision-making, improve efficiency in data processing and visualization, and offer clear, actionable insights.
