title: Getting your game on with business data.
abstract: Data warehouses can virtually eliminate claims-related paper and fax transactions for hospitals. Data are accessible electronically, decreasing the need for staff to check on outstanding claims status requests by phone. Data warehouse technology can be used to create analytical reports and identify issues by dollar volume or procedure code. Providers can receive instant reports on both the "front end," as they are submitted, and on the "back end," when claims are denied.
