Data Analytics for Healthcare Institutions: A Data Warehouse Model Proposal

Abstract:

Data analysis is considered as a process of review, debugging, and finally data modeling to obtain additional information, establish conclusions, and make effective decisions. In Ecuador, public health institutions are held responsible for providing appropriate quality care to the public, therefore, timely decisions based on an adequate interpretation of the available massive data are required. Through an experimental and quantitative process developed in the Zonal Health Coordination 3, located in Chimborazo, Ecuador, this article presents a proposal for a data warehouse model supported by ETL processes and in the Hefesto methodology in order to enable an analysis of adequate data that provides the required clean and organized information for a pertinent and timely decision-making in health institutions located in Ecuador. As a result, a data warehouse with organized, clean, and adequate information will allow a refined and efficient analysis of the data to fulfill the objective of this investigation.
