In modern healthcare, data moves fast — patient admissions, treatment outcomes, billing, and staffing all generate insights that can drive smarter decisions. But many hospitals and healthcare software vendors struggle to build reporting tools that are both flexible and secure.
That’s where Dotnet Report, a modern embedded reporting and BI solution for .NET, steps in.
In this post, we’ll show you how easy it is to build a Hospital Analytics Dashboard inside your .NET application — with interactive reports, real-time KPIs, and department-level insights — all powered by your own SQL database.

⚙️ What We’re Building: “Metro General Hospital Dashboard”
Our demo simulates a hospital analytics portal for Metro General Hospital, built entirely using Dotnet Report inside a .NET web app.
The goal: give administrators and department heads instant visibility into operations, patient flow, and revenue — without needing IT or data analysts to write SQL queries.
Using Dotnet Report, we connect directly to our SQL database containing:
- Departments
- Doctors (with profile images and experience levels)
- Patients (admissions, discharges, diagnoses, outcomes)
- Treatments and costs
- Billing and insurance coverage
📊 Creating Reports and Dashboards Without Writing SQL
Dotnet Report’s self-service designer lets you build powerful reports through a friendly drag-and-drop interface.
Here’s what we created for our hospital analytics demo:
🔹 Key Reports
- Admissions by Department – A bar chart showing which departments have the highest patient volume.
- Revenue by Department – A pie chart visualizing department-level billing performance.
- Daily Admissions Trend – A line chart that tracks patient flow over the last 30 days.
- Average Treatment Cost by Type – A column chart showing cost efficiency by treatment.
And because Dotnet Report runs on top of your existing SQL Server, all these reports use real relational data — no external data warehouse needed.
📈 Building the Hospital Dashboard
Once we built the reports, we used Dotnet Report’s Dashboard Designer to create a clean, visual layout that highlights the most important KPIs:
- Total Patients (This Month)
- Average Length of Stay (Days)
- Bed Occupancy Rate (%)
- Total Billing Revenue (This Month)
Each widget pulls live data from SQL and updates dynamically — no coding required.
We then added the chart visuals below the KPIs to give a complete overview of hospital performance.

👩⚕️ Adding a Doctor Directory
For a human touch, we added a Doctor Directory report with real photos, departments, and experience years.
Dotnet Report supports image fields, so we simply added URLs for profile pictures and rendered them directly in the report grid — giving the dashboard a polished, professional look.
This feature highlights how flexible Dotnet Report is for both business analytics and operational reporting.
💡 Why Healthcare Teams Love Embedded BI
Hospitals and healthcare SaaS providers face a unique challenge:
they need analytics that are powerful, compliant, and secure — but they don’t want to send patient data to the cloud or manage separate BI platforms.
With Dotnet Report:
- ✅ Fully On-Prem or Private Cloud Hosting — keep all PHI data secure within your infrastructure.
- ✅ Built for .NET Developers — integrates easily into any MVC or .NET 8 application.
- ✅ Self-Service Reports — empower end users without writing queries.
- ✅ Customizable UI and APIs — match your application’s branding and logic.
