Abstract
Diseases management offers the benefits of lower disease occurrence, improved patient care, and lower healthcare costs. The key mechanism used to identify individuals at risk, stratify patients by risk level and track patients’ progress through the disease management is the data warehouse (DW). This review article describes operational systems, DW features and component and role of it in disease management programs. By data warehouse, healthcare organizations, clinicians and managers can reduce costs generated by process redesign, obtain right information in areas of patient care, budgeting, planning, research, process improvement, external reporting, benchmarking, trend analysis and marketing and make the right decision to prevent the progression or appearance of the illness, thus maintaining the health of the population. Key words: Disease Management; Information Technology; Decision Making; Data.
