Data Warehouse
Data Warehouse
A copy of transaction data specifically structured for querying and reporting
Data Mart
A logical subset of the complete data warehouse
Dimensional Modeling
A specific discipline for modeling data that is an alternative to entity-relationship (E/R) modeling; usually employed in data warehouses and OLAP systems.
Warehouse Challenges
High-level support Identification of reporting needs by subject area and organizational role Bridging the gap between reporting needs and technical specifications Partnerships with central and campus administrative areas Customer support and training
Large organizations build data warehouses to analyze what has occurred within the business across time in order to obtain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Many healthcare organizations see data warehousing as a way to facilitate operational efficiency and informed administrative decision making.

Description
Scope Patient registration Appointments scheduling Billing and payments (cash, CC, insurance) Security of the whole system Web interface (proposed for future)
Description
Assumptions Patient must provide insurance details when registering. Advancedepositrequirewhenpatientdonthave Insurance. Appointments can be cancelled 24 hours in advance without penalty Patient medical history can be viewed by concerned doctors at the hospital with approval of the patient .
Users
The Hospital Management System is mainly designed by keeping in mind all the possible users, which are:
Doctors
Doctor has to login with unique login id and password for particular practice i.e. s/he can not login to more than one practice at a time. (Since there will be different database for different practices) After successful login s/he will be redirected to schedule for that day to see his/her appointments, (default page). S/he doctor can make new appointment, mark event, recall and give prescriptions. The Doctors section contains the following features:
Staffs
Staff has to login with unique login id and password for particular practice after successful login s/he will be redirected to staffs authorities . S/he can perform all functions in the practice management as dictated by the permissions set up by the Practice administrator. Among the staff there will be one practice administrator who will set permissions for doctors, staff & patient The staffs section contains the following features:
Billing
Reports Patient charts Lab results
Users
Patient
Patient has to login with unique login id and password for particular practice i.e. s/he can not login to more than one practice at a time. (Since there will be different database for different practices) After successful login s/he will be redirected schedule for that day to see his/her appointments where Patient can view his appointment, cancel appointment or view prescriptions and request new appointment via email or phone call. Patient can sign up/register for particular practice by entering his information, which will be validated by staff & will respond accordingly. Any alert posted through e-mail if not responded within a stipulated time then the patient is contacted on his/her contact no/Fax. The patients section contains the following features:

Security
Security. A steering committee of clinicians guided the initial development of the CDR and established policies for its utilization and access. Only authorized users may log onto the CDR. To protect confidentiality, all patient and physician identifying information has been partitioned into a secure
database. Translation from or to disguised identifiers to or from actual identifiers is possible but requires a written request and appropriate approval (for example, from a supervisor or the human investigations committee). All data transmitted from the database server to the users browser are encrypted using the secure Netscape Web server, and all accesses to the database are logged. In addition,
Conclusion
The most challenging security threat in Data Warehouse and OLAP systems is: Data stored in data warehouse may be disclosed through seemingly innocent OLAP queries 2 main inference threat that should be considered: 1-d inference m-d inference We presented 3 methods to prevent / remove inference: Cardinality-based method Parity-based method Lattice-based inference control All above methods are applicable to the three-tier inference control architecture, that especially suits OLAP systems.
