Abstract
In this article we present the concept of data warehousing, and its use in the clinical area. Clinical data warehousing will become very important in the near future, as healthcare enterprises need to gain more information from their clinical, administrative, and financial data, in order to improve quality and reduce costs. Adoption of data warehousing in health care has been slowed by lack of understanding of the benefits offered by the technology. This paper contributes by providing needed understanding, by introducing the opportunities offered by data warehousing, describing current efforts in the area, and providing criteria for comparing clinical data warehouse systems.
