National Patient Information Reporting System: National Data Warehouse. NDW Project Management Plan. Version 2.0

摘要

The National Data Warehouse (NDW) project will upgrade the Indian Health Services (IHS) National Data repository, the National Patient Information Reporting System (NPIRS), to a new, state-of-the-art, enterprise-wide data warehouse environment. The NDW will be developed to produce various reports that are required by statute and regulation and provide a broad range of clinical and administrative information to facilities, regional and national programs. The NDW will provide more accurate, timely, and a broader scope of information than was previously available to clinical and administrative managers throughout the Indian health system. Information will be retrieved from the NDW via reports and ad hoc database searches from specialized data marts appropriate to authorized users needs and access. Because of a data marts relatively smaller size and simpler structure, search efficiency will be optimized and data can be readily available to authorized users.
