Bar charts are a staple in data visualization. They are often the first chart type that comes to mind when comparing quantities across discrete groups such as sales amount for different product categories. But there are many cases where you may want to take advantage of the width of the bars and their location along the axis to present more information. For example, if you’re visualizing the number of customers by age group and the age groups are of unequal sizes, you may want to use bars of different width.

By blending our two perspectives, we achieved a result that is both beautiful and functional.

Imagine saving more than 10,000 hours a year, turning 4.5 hours of wait-time to 4.5 seconds, clearing 80% of someone’s road blocks in just an hour, and saving more than $ 3 million in the process! That’s what happened when the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) adopted a self-service approach to analytics. The organization’s Fast Analytics team recently won the Project of the Year award in Health Data Management’s Analytics All-Stars Awards.
