| Dimensional Warehouse Model Data Model |
Description | Analysis of the performance and utilization of clinical laboratory services for a healthcare organization. Laboratory services are used to carry out tests on clinical specimen to obtain information about patient health. The lab results assist in the decision making process of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease. Dimensions (and sample axes of analysis): - Calendar (Reporting Year) - Encounter (Inpatient, outpatient settings) - Patient (Age, Gender, Smoker Status, BMI) - Point of Care Location - Specimen (Type of Specimen) - Lab Test (Type of test) - Practitioner - Provider |
