An integrated data warehouse system: development, implementation, and early outcomes.

Abstract

This paper describes a generic vision of global information flow and the development of an integrated data warehouse system, using clinical data on all patient encounters and administrative data on all operating transactions as part of an integrated health care system. This new integrated data warehouse system has been successfully used for multiple purposes, including patient care, health services research, resource utilization and feasibility studies. During 1999, core analyses included the electronic abstraction, aggregation, and analysis of data on over 400,000 patients. This approach to building a centralized data system comprised of multiple repositories efficiently meets a variety of individual and aggregate information needs, while reducing the need to create duplicate databases.

Bibliography database managers are used to manage information recourses: specifically, to maintain a database to references and create bibliographies and reference lists for written works. A good reference management program should make it easy to read and to record the elements that a reference comprises, e.g. authors name, year of publication, title of article etc. It should offer tools that let you find and retrieve references quickly, and it should be able to produce the bibliography in the format required for a particular publication. You can create your database reference by reference or you can download batches of references from one of the popular searching services (e.g. MEDLINE) and you can search in the Internet. When you want to cite a reference you simply paste the reference wherever you want your intext citation to appear. There are many computer programs, but very few stands out as truly useful, time saving, and work enhancing. One of them is EndNote. The reference manager EndNote 5.0 was recently released in Germany. As long-time fans of this excellent program, we upgraded from the previous version. The use of the software package EndNote 5.0 for Windows is described. The main reason for getting EndNote 5.0 is its clearly improved functions and features: especially the co-operation with Microsoft Word (cite while you write) and the spelling examination. Altogether EndNote 5.0 provides also an excellent combination of features and ease of use.

BioArray Software Environment (BASE): a platform for comprehensive management and analysis of microarray data.

The microarray technique requires the organization and analysis of vast amounts of data. These data include information about the samples hybridized, the hybridization images and their extracted data matrices, and information about the physical array, the features and reporter molecules. We present a web-based customizable bioinformatics solution called BioArray Software Environment (BASE) for the management and analysis of all areas of microarray experimentation. All software necessary to run a local server is freely available.
