Week 6 Data Warehouse Assignment

Week 6 Data Warehouse Assignment

Q Access your case study Links to an external site.. The three business goals for the data warehouse in the case study are: • Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction) • Improving the health of populations • Reducing the per person cost of healthcare The case study concentrates on the advantages and disadvantages of different architectures for data warehouses. In addition to architecture, the data analyst must also determine what data to capture in the data warehouse to achieve the business goals. For example, one way to improve the patient experience (the first business goal) could be to reduce waits times for appointments. In order to understand what causes wait times, data about the scheduled start time, actual start time, scheduled end time, actual end time, availability of the doctor, and reason for the appointment would have to be analyzed in the data warehouse. Other ways to improve the patient experience could include: getting the diagnosis right the first time, knowing the cost upfront, avoiding second appointments with specialists, providing supplemental information for patients to read at home, etc. Each of those improvements would require different types of data in the data warehouse. Your assignment is to specify at least one improvement for each of the three business goals above. For the improvement you identify, indicate what specific data would have to be stored in the data warehouse to analyze ways to achieve that improvement. Also specify how that data would be obtained. Your paper should be 1 – 3 pages in APA format. Include at least one paragraph for each of the three business goals above. Submit your MS Word document via the assignment link.

For the 3 business goals, the Late-Binding Data Warehouse platform can be considered suitable. For enhancing the patient experience of care, the focus should be on decreasing the wait time for appointments. For this purpose, data regarding the availability of a doctor or physician and the reason for the appointment can be stored in the data warehouse. By analyzing the reason for the appointment, the most urgent cases can be sought out (Mehta & Pandit, 2018). For example, if a patient requires treatment for a life-threatening disease, that particular patient can be ranked top in the list.
