Sponsored by: Sigma | Reinventing Healthcare Finance: How HSS Built XRAY on Databricks with Sigma

When a new CFO set out to deliver more reliable, enterprise-wide data, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) modernized its approach—consolidating fractured financial and operational systems on Databricks and cutting report turnaround from 30 days to 24 hours. HSS implemented the Databricks lakehouse to bridge several disparate systems to finally connect the dots to tell a full financial story from operational driver to bottom-line result. This was achieved by redesigning the operating model: a cross functional data product team was formed with one singular vision to transform the organization's approach to financial reporting. This structure connects financial expertise, frontline context, data engineering, and analytics. The result is XRAY—a governed, real-time financial visibility solution powered by Sigma that enables cross-functional data conversations and empowers the entire organization to actively find insights at scale.
