19. Data warehouse overview

20. Problem Statement: Data are not accessible Data are not accessible Data are not timely Data are not timely Business Intelligence is not available to support public health policy decisions Business Intelligence is not available to support public health policy decisions Key performance indicators (KPI’s) are not available to drive operational efficiencies Key performance indicators (KPI’s) are not available to drive operational efficiencies Data and analytic tools are not transparent and do not support a self service model Data and analytic tools are not transparent and do not support a self service model

21. The Present Landscape: Average Age of Data available: ● Public: 5 1/2 years old ● Secure: 7 years old Represents less than 5% of ODH data Too labor intensive to update data even annually Scalability concerns End-of-life technology

22. Vision of the OPHIW: Maximize timeliness, efficiency, scalability, functionality and user friendliness Maximize timeliness, efficiency, scalability, functionality and user friendliness Provide a “one-stop shop” where ODH data is accessible in a consistent manner Provide a “one-stop shop” where ODH data is accessible in a consistent manner –Both Secure and Public views –Near real time access to preliminary data using a federated model. More timely data for better decision support More timely data for better decision support Include shared analytic and GIS tools Include shared analytic and GIS tools

23. Business Case: ODH Perspective Manual data processing reduced Manual data processing reduced Enterprise scalability Enterprise scalability Elimination of duplication of effort Elimination of duplication of effort Health transformation/ State agency partnerships Health transformation/ State agency partnerships HIE readiness HIE readiness LHD Perspective Data accessibility Data accessibility Data timeliness Data timeliness Prepopulate grant forms, AFR’s, SART review, etc. Prepopulate grant forms, AFR’s, SART review, etc. “Mashups” of ODH, LHD, and other data and content “Mashups” of ODH, LHD, and other data and content Integrated community profiling Integrated community profiling Shared statistical & GIS analytic platform Shared statistical & GIS analytic platform Consumable data = transparency and innovation

24. What kinds of data can we liberate? Vital Statistics Examples: Birth events Death certificate data Infant mortality Mass casualty planning Surveillance & Registry Provider Quality & Performance Inspection & Enforcement Vital Statistics Screening & health services Preparedness ODH Data Being Liberated?

25. 10/11/2011 Open Health Data Initiative core activities: liberate data and catalyze innovation 1.Publish brand new HHS data for public access – while rigorously protecting privacy and confidentiality 2.Make existing HHS data much more accessible -- “machine- readable,” accessible via application programming interfaces (APIs), free, much easier to find 3.Energetically publicize our data to innovators -- who can use it as raw material to develop applications and services that help improve health and health care Are we on the right track?

26. The goal: a self-propelled, open “ecosystem of innovation” using data to improve health Help consumers take control of their health and health care Help employers promote health and wellness Help care providers deliver better care Help journalists promote health information Help local leaders make better- informed decisions Support all of the above through “data intermediary” services And much more A Rapidly Growing Array of Innovative Products and Services That: Health-Related Data from FUELS
