Office of Business Intelligence

Unifying data to support planning, performance, and progress within Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University.

About Us

The Office of Business Intelligence (BI Office) at the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University serves as the strategic backbone of data-informed decision-making. Founded in response to the transformative merger between Old Dominion University (��) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), the BI Office was established to unify, centralize, and elevate the use of data across Brock-VHS. Currently, the BI Office is focused primarily on EVMS legacy schools but plans to expand its support to other VHS colleges/schools in the future as resources become available.

Our mission is to empower leaders, faculty, and stakeholders with insightful analytics, streamlined access to reliable data, and trusted reporting tools. By collaborating across all Brock-VHS schools, colleges, and departments, we centralize Brock-VHS data, develop interactive dashboards, and cultivate a strong culture of decision-making grounded in trusted data.

The Office oversees the development and continuous refinement of an administrative-level centralized data infrastructure that houses vital data in consistent, reliable formats. The BI's long term objective is to lead the creation of Brock-VHS data governance processes and actively monitor stakeholder compliance to ensure integrity, transparency, and accountability. This work-grounded in the integration of data from across legacy EVMS-lays the foundation for a scalable, transparent, and forward-thinking analytics environment across Virginia Health Sciences.

At the core of everything we do is a belief that better data leads to better decisions-and that informed decisions shape a stronger future for Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences.

Data Request Process

The Office of Business Intelligence leads Data Governance initiative, serving as the central authority for ensuring that institutional data is consistent, secure, and strategically aligned. Currently, the BI Office is focused primarily on EVMS legacy schools but plans to expand its support to other VHS colleges/schools in the future as resources become available.

This process ensures that all data requests are handled with transparency, consistency, and adherence to governance standards. Whether for reporting, planning, accreditation, or research purposes, Virginia Health Sciences stakeholders are encouraged to use this process to obtain accurate and validated data.

VHS Strategic Data Hub

The Office of Business Intelligence has developed a secure BI Dashboard Portal to provide access to strategic metrics across key domains. While the initial focus is on metrics from the legacy Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), the portal will expand to include additional areas within Virginia Health Sciences (VHS) as resources and data become available.

This evolving hub is designed to help tell the Virginia Health Sciences story through data—highlighting achievements, identifying opportunities, and supporting informed decision-making at every level.
