Data Warehousing for Biomedical Informatics (Hardcover)

Data Warehousing for Biomedical Informatics is a step-by-step how-to guide for designing and building an enterprise-wide data warehouse across a biomedical or healthcare institution, using a four-iteration lifecycle and standardized design pattern. It enables you to quickly implement a fully-scalable generic data architecture that supports your organization’s clinical, operational, administrative, financial, and research data. By following the guidelines in this book, you will be able to successfully progress through the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma versions, plus fully implement your first production release in about a year.

The Alpha version allows you to implement just enough of the basic design pattern to illustrate its core capabilities while loading a small sampling of limited data for demonstration purposes. This provides an easy way for everyone involved to visualize the new warehouse paradigm by actually examining a core subset of the working system. You can finish the Alpha version, also referred to as the proof-of-concept, in as little as 3-4 weeks.

The Beta version, which can be completed in about 2-3 months, adds required functionality and much more data. It allows you to get the full warehouse up and running quickly, in order to facilitate longer-term planning, user and support team training, and setup of the operational environment. The Gamma version, which is a fully-functional system–though still lacking data–can be implemented in about 3-4 months. About one year after starting, you will be ready to launch Release 1.0 as a complete and secure data warehouse.

《生物醫學資訊的資料倉儲》是一本逐步指南，教你如何在生物醫學或醫療機構中設計和建立一個企業級的資料倉儲。使用四個迭代生命週期和標準化的設計模式，它能夠快速實施一個完全可擴展的通用資料架構，支持組織的臨床、運營、行政、財務和研究數據。通過遵循本書中的指南，您將能夠成功地進行Alpha、Beta和Gamma版本的開發，並在大約一年內完全實施首個生產版本。

Alpha版本允許您實施基本設計模式的足夠部分，以展示其核心功能，同時載入一小部分有限數據以進行演示。這為所有參與者提供了一種簡單的方式，通過實際檢查工作系統的核心子集來視覺化新的倉儲範例。您可以在3-4周內完成Alpha版本，也稱為概念驗證。

Beta版本可以在大約2-3個月內完成，它增加了所需的功能和更多數據。它使您能夠快速啟動完整的倉儲，以促進長期規劃、用戶和支持團隊培訓以及操作環境的設置。Gamma版本是一個完全功能的系統，雖然缺少數據，但可以在大約3-4個月內實施。在開始後約一年時間，您將準備好作為一個完整且安全的資料倉儲推出1.0版本。
