Abstract

Healthcare organizations have access to more data than ever before. Healthcare analytics is a vital tool for healthcare organizations and hospitals to analyze performance, identify opportunities to improve, make informed decisions, and comply with government and payor regulations. However, the field of medicine and the political and regulatory landscape are constantly changing, thus these requirements and opportunities rapidly evolve. The traditional best practice solution for business analytics is to organize and consolidate the data into a dimensional data warehouse for analytics purposes. Due to the size of the data, the number of disparate sources and the volume of analytics needs, the overhead to create and maintain such a data warehouse is becoming prohibitive. In this paper, we introduce a virtual data warehouse solution that combines the design and modelling principles of traditional dimensional modelling with data virtualization and in-memory database architectures to create a system which is more agile, flexible and scalable.
