Data Warehousing

• The ability to take data from transactional systems, integrate and transform those data into different axes of representation, such as time, disease area, clinic, ethnic, socioeconomic, outcomes, length of stay, etc.

• The ability to take best of breed business intelligence tools and use them to query a warehouse is greatly facilitated by good warehouse design and architecture IT Best Practices and Data Warehousing provide the technical framework necessary to react with agility to changes in the local or global healthcare environment

Data Warehousing

• What EDW means to me
