Customer Situation

Customer had a reporting solution that was tied to the Meditech EMR system which made any reporting or enhancement request time consuming and costly. Customer wanted a modern data warehouse which would allow to bring in data from multiple systems and for better reporting solution. Customer was
looking for a partner who was experienced in both DW & Reporting and Healthcare, one who could provide industry standard guidelines, do implementation with short time as a major factor and train the internal team as the project progressed.

VNB Solution

After a few initial discovery sessions and analysis, customer and VNB team decided together that STAR schema would make most sense and speed up the design of the facts and dimensions. The team together decided on the best approach on how data for the labour and delivery module could be brought into the DW and what was needed in the Power BI model for the reporting solution. All aspects such as data volume, performance, scalability, usability, security, sharing and collaboration were discussed, and the solution was designed. VNB team provided industry standard best practices that govern key disciplines of design and development of DW & Power BI reports to help the client with future implementations.
