title: Healthcare BI: a tool for meaningful analysis.
abstract: Implementing an effective business intelligence (BI) system requires organizationwide preparation and education to allow for meaningful analysis of information. Hospital executives should take steps to ensure that: Staff entering data are proficient in how the data are to be used for decision making, and integration is based on clean data from primary sources of entry. Managers have the business acumen required for effective data analysis. Decision makers understand how multidimensional BI offers new ways of analysis that represent significant improvements over historical approaches using static reporting.
