Data warehouses shrink the length of time it takes between a business event's occurrence and executive alert. For example, in many hospitals, management reports are printed once a month - about a week after the end of each month. Thus, the June management reports are delivered during the first week in July. Using a warehouse, those same reports are available on a daily basis. Given this data delivery time compression, business decision makers can exploit opportunities that they would otherwise miss.
Report Examples

Patient Throughput - This is an "exception" report for monitoring early AM laboratory test work comparing actual performance to expected performance levels. The report is sorted by patient location and organized with performance "red" flags to identify where delays occurred. The last page graphs the results. |
