Item A Multidimensional Data Warehouse for Community Health Centers(2015-11-05) Kunjan, Kislaya; Toscos, Tammy; Turkcan, Ayten; Doebbeling, Brad N.; BioHealth Informatics, School of Informatics and ComputingCommunity health centers (CHCs) play a pivotal role in healthcare delivery to vulnerable populations, but have not yet benefited from a data warehouse that can support improvements in clinical and financial outcomes across the practice. We have developed a multidimensional clinic data warehouse (CDW) by working with 7 CHCs across the state of Indiana and integrating their operational, financial and electronic patient records to support ongoing delivery of care. We describe in detail the rationale for the project, the data architecture employed, the content of the data warehouse, along with a description of the challenges experienced and strategies used in the development of this repository that may help other researchers, managers and leaders in health informatics. The resulting multidimensional data warehouse is highly practical and is designed to provide a foundation for wide-ranging healthcare data analytics over time and across the community health research enterprise.Item Predictive Modeling for Appointment No-show in Community Health Centers(2016) Mohammadi, Iman; Turkcan, Ayten; Toscos, Tammy; Wu, Huanmei; Doebbeling, Brad N.Reducing no-show rates is one of the most important measures of access to care in Community Health Centers (CHCs). We used EMR and scheduling data to develop no-show prediction models to help design effective scheduling processes and system redesign for greater access in CHCs. Patient and provider characteristics and visit features are key elements for predicting patient adherence with an appointment.
