The paper describes the possibilities of using data warehousing and OLAP technologies in public health care in general and then our own experience with these technologies gained during the implementation of a data warehouse of outpatient data at the national level. Such a data warehouse serves as a basis for advanced decision support systems based on statistical, OLAP or data mining methods. We used OLAP to enable interactive exploration and analysis of the data. We found out that data warehousing and OLAP are suitable for the domain of public health and that they enable new analytical possibilities in addition to the traditional statistical approaches.
本文描述了在公共卫生保健领域一般使用数据仓库和OLAP技术的可能性,以及我们在国家层面实施门诊数据仓库过程中获得的使用这些技术的自身经验。这样一个数据仓库作为基于统计、OLAP或数据挖掘方法的高级决策支持系统的基础。我们使用OLAP来实现对数据的交互式探索和分析。我们发现数据仓库和OLAP适用于公共卫生领域,并且除了传统的统计方法外,它们还带来了新的分析可能性。
