Il Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico come strumento di Business Intelligence in sanità

This paper proposes the analysis and design of a data warehouse based on the Italian Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) infrastructure. In particular, it outlines the benefits in the use of the EHR as a Business Intelligence tool, focusing on the system administration and governance (secondary uses). The focus is posed on the LUMIR project (Lucania Medici in Rete), the EHR developed for the Basilicata region. Its architecture and logical model have been used to design the data warehouse and to analyze the main social-health business processes, with particular attention to the healthcare pathway of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus.
The present work has been discussed as a thesis for the Master's Degree in Governance of information systems: development, management, monitoring (Academic year 2011/2012).
