CHALLENGES

The Customer encountered several significant challenges:

1. Legacy System Limitations:
The existing Java application struggled with scalability and delivering prompt query responses. It could not efficiently handle large volumes of data related to medication inventory, clinical services, patient information, and other critical functions, information, and other critical functions.

2. Data Fragmentation:
The required data for reporting was spread across 150 separate databases, totalling 15GB. Consolidating this data into a cohesive system for effective management and reporting posed a considerable technical challenge.

3. Need for Advanced Analytics:
The Customer needed to enhance the application to support advanced healthcare analytics. This included creating detailed reports on medication classification, hospital readmissions, and employee performance, all of which required a more robust backend infrastructure.

Solutions Provided

To address these challenges, Deltacues team delivered a tailored solution:

1. Data Warehousing and Integration:

• Microsoft SQL Server Data Warehouse: The team built a scalable analytical data warehouse using Microsoft SQL Server. This data warehouse was designed to ensure efficient data processing and short query response times, critical for handling the consolidated data from the 150 healthcare centers.

• Data Loading with Transact-SQL: A Transact-SQL script was developed to load data from the relational database into the SQL Server data warehouse. This script facilitated the integration and consolidation of data from the 150 individual databases.

2. Enhanced Reporting:
• JReport Integration: Deltacubes integrated the JReport tool into the system, enabling the creation of various reports, including Medication Classification, Missed Medications, Hospital Readmissions, Employee Performance, and Community Marketing Activity Summary. These reports allowed healthcare centers to gain insights and improve management processes.

3. Future-Ready Architecture:
• OLAP Cubes Development: To further enhance the analytical capabilities, the team planned the development of OLAP cubes. These cubes will enable the storage of aggregated data, supporting advanced healthcare data analytics and improving information processing.

Tech Stacks Used

• Data Warehousing: Microsoft SQL Server
• Data Integration: Transact-SQL
• Reporting: JReport
• Application Development: Java

Conclusion

The revamped software has empowered the Customer’s clients to improve management processes through prompt and accurate analytics reports. Additionally, the planned OLAP cubes will further enhance the solution’s capability to perform advanced healthcare data analytics, driving better decision-making across the 150 healthcare centres.
