Can I use PowerBI in a website?

PowerBI offers a robust Web application that you can view and interact with reports from. However, if you need to use PowerBI from a 3rd party platform, you can always use PowerBI embedding. The pricing structure varies for embedding, please check the PowerBI website for more information.

Can you connect with 3rd party APIs?

Yes, we connect with 3rd party APIs and pull data into your PowerBI platform on a regular basis. This requires additional custom coding or implementation of 3rd party tools like Zapier or Microsoft's Power Automate

How do you charge for PowerBI services?

We offer PowerBI services as a part of our HyperTrends Sense product offering. We usually charge an initial flat-fee for setup and data ingestion/transformation followed by monthly data management fees. Our pricing is simple, predictable and gives you the biggest ROI for your investment.

The $150B Healthcare IT Waste Problem — And the Architecture That Fixes It

How much healthcare IT spending is wasted?

Over $150 billion per year in healthcare IT spending is wasted due to disconnected systems, failed integrations, inefficient workflows, and vendor lock-in.

U.S. healthcare IT spending exceeded $300 billion in 2025. By some estimates, more than half of that spend — over $150 billion annually — is wasted on redundant systems, failed integrations, manual workarounds, retraining, and technology that actively slows down the people it is supposed to help.

This is the core of the healthcare IT waste problem — and it is driven by architecture, not technology quality.

Why does healthcare IT waste happen?

Healthcare IT waste is caused by fragmented architecture — systems purchased independently, implemented in silos, and never designed to work together.

The waste is not a rounding error. It is more than the GDP of 130 countries.

And the root cause is always the same: disconnected systems stitched together with manual processes and human workarounds.

Where does the $150B in healthcare IT waste go?

Waste Zone 1: Redundant Systems ($35–45B)

Hospitals operate dozens of overlapping systems:

Multiple scheduling tools
Duplicate communication platforms
Separate analytics stacks
Redundant HR and compliance systems

Each requires its own licensing, maintenance, and training.

Root cause: decentralized purchasing and lack of unified architecture.

Waste Zone 2: Integration Failures ($25–35B)

Disconnected systems create:

Broken point-to-point integrations
Custom HL7 parsing
Manual data entry between systems
Heavy reliance on integration engines

This is the same issue explored in EHR integration architecture — where lack of structure turns integration into a cost center.

Root cause: no standardized interoperability strategy.

Waste Zone 3: Training and Retraining ($20–30B)

Every system requires training:

$1,200–$1,500 per clinician annually
Retraining after updates
Productivity loss during onboarding

This is amplified by poor UX, as explained in why healthcare software fails.

Root cause: non-adaptive interfaces that force users to learn everything.

Waste Zone 4: Workarounds and Shadow IT ($30–40B)

When systems fail, users create their own:

Spreadsheets
Notes
Messaging outside the system
Parallel databases

This creates fragmentation and compliance risk.

Root cause: software that does not match real workflows.

Waste Zone 5: Vendor Lock-In Premium ($15–25B)

Vendors enforce lock-in through:

Proprietary formats
Expensive migrations
Limited APIs
Bundled pricing

Root cause: lack of interoperability and modular architecture.

What architecture eliminates healthcare IT waste?

The solution is the Unified Health Architecture (UHA) — a four-layer system that removes inefficiencies at the root.

Layer 1: Integration Platform (Fixes Zones 1 & 2)

A centralized integration layer replaces point-to-point chaos:

FHIR-based API gateway
Event-driven system communication
Canonical data model
Pre-built EHR connectors

This aligns with modern approaches in healthcare software modernization.

Impact:
60–80% reduction in integration costs.

Layer 2: Adaptive Presentation (Fixes Zone 3)

Interfaces adapt to user expertise:

Behavior-based expertise detection
Dynamic UI rendering
Progressive skill-based evolution

This builds on the adaptive UX engine model.

Impact:
40–60% reduction in training costs.

Layer 3: Unified Data Layer (Fixes Zone 4)

A centralized data system replaces fragmentation:

Real-time ingestion
Patient-centric data model
Analytics-ready structure
Role-based access

This eliminates the need for workarounds.

Impact:
80%+ reduction in shadow IT.

Layer 4: Portability & Interoperability (Fixes Zone 5)

Systems become modular and replaceable:

FHIR-first data storage
Standard APIs
Component-level replacement
Automated data portability

This supports long-term flexibility and reduces vendor dependence.

Impact:
50–70% reduction in vendor lock-in costs.

What is the ROI of fixing healthcare IT waste?

For a mid-size health system:

$25M–$40M annual waste
$13.7M–$27.5M recoverable savings
6–18 month payback period

This makes UHA one of the highest ROI investments in healthcare infrastructure.

Why is this happening now?

Three forces make this shift inevitable:

1. FHIR maturity

Standardized interoperability is now viable.

2. Cloud-native infrastructure

Lower cost, faster deployment.

3. AI readiness

Unified data is required for AI systems.

This ties directly into AI-powered healthcare software.

The Bottom Line

Healthcare IT waste is not inevitable.

It is the result of architectural decisions.

Change the architecture — eliminate the waste.
