Data delivery workflow in an academic information warehouse.

The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) Information Warehouse (IW) collects data from many systems throughout the OSUMC on load cycles ranging from real-time to on-demand. The data then is prepared for delivery to diversity of customers across the clinical, education, and research sectors of the OSUMC. Some of the data collected at the IW include patient management, billing and finance, procedures, medications, lab results, clinical reports, physician order entry, outcomes, demographics, and so on. This data is made available to the users of the IW in variety of formats and methods.
