Synopsis

Developing a Data Warehouse for the Healthcare Enterprise: Lessons from the Trenches serves as a guide for healthcare executives and IT managers contemplating or involved in a data warehouse implementation. First-hand experiences from individuals charged with such an implementation offer readers guidance and multiple perspectives on the data warehouse development process-from the initial vision to the system-wide release. Developing a Data Warehouse provides lessons learned during a data warehouse implementation at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a large, modern, tertiary-care hospital with an IT environment that parallels a typical U.S. hospital. The authors offer an honest assessment of their journey-from the lessons learned and methods explored to the solutions ultimately achieved. The final implementation transformed KFSH&RC into a more effective knowledge-based organization. This book, which features a sample data warehousing project plan and an information analysis template, illustrates how implementing a data warehouse can help drive process improvements and increased patient safety and quality of care.
