A healthcare authority faces real pressure to keep a health system responsive: rising expectations from citizens, shifting disease patterns and demographics, a growing need for integration, accessibility, and affordability, and constant pressure to run more efficiently. Add in the rising use of evidence-based decision-making and performance measurement, and the need for trusted, accessible health data only grows.
To meet these needs, the Health Data Warehouse was built as a platform to standardize and integrate health data from multiple sources, including Electronic Medical Records, Electronic Health Records, and clinical administrative systems. That creates a trusted source of information, one that helps manage the health system more effectively, supports surveillance, and serves as a valuable resource for research.
