Post-M&A Data Management: How Pennant Services Built Trust Across Systems

Pennant Services, the central support unit for The Pennant Group, a healthcare services company, faced significant challenges in managing a complex data ecosystem due to its vast operations across the United States. The company’s data management issues included complex data architecture, data redundancy, and limited visibility, which were intensified by its rapid growth and numerous acquisitions. To address these challenges, Pennant partnered with Select Star to enhance data discovery and lineage, improve data governance, and reduce redundancy. Select Star's tools provided Pennant with detailed insights into data transformations and usage, enabling faster development times, improved efficiency, and better data governance. The implementation resulted in a 50% increase in efficiency for data deprecation tasks, a significant reduction in data refresh times, and enhanced trust in data accuracy among users. This transformation allowed Pennant to focus on strategic initiatives and expand its use of predictive analytics to improve patient care, with Select Star playing a crucial role in optimizing storage and compute costs.
