The Data & Analytics team at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) supports data-driven decision-making through comprehensive data visualization, reporting, and consultation services. We work with departments and units across SMPH to ensure data accessibility, integration, and insightful analytics.
The Analytics team is dedicated to building a sustainable data infrastructure that supports data literacy and enhances decision-making across SMPH. Our team members specialize in areas such as business intelligence, data integration, and academic data strategy.
All data- and analytics-related support can now be requested through the Business Analytics (BA) Portal. The BA Portal, part of SMPH Navigator, streamlines how requests are submitted, tracked, and resolved. It improves response times, enhances communication, and provides better visibility into the status of your requests.

You will receive email notifications when your request is updated.
