| Dimensional Warehouse Model Data Model |
Description | Analysis of the performance and utilization of a pharmacy department in a Healthcare Organization. A pharmacy is a medical treatment facility specialized in the preparation and dispensing of medications prescribed by physicians for patient care. Dimensions (and sample axes of analysis): - Calendar (Reporting Year) - Geographic Area (Region, State) - Patient (Age, Gender, Smoker Status, BMI) - Point of Care Location - Job - Practitioner - Provider |
