Abstract

Healthcare presents unique challenges for the architect of a data warehouse. Integrated health systems are shifting its focus away from the acute care setting and moving towards cross-continuum care management. Improving healthcare quality while reducing costs requires the elimination of unnecessary variation in the care process. This paper describes the lessons learned during the business case development for the project. Topics include establishing the need for a data warehouse, understanding data warehousing in healthcare, justifying the cost of a data warehouse, building the team, and setting achievable goals.
