Where does the information in the applications come from?
The UTMB Discover Enterprise Data Warehouse is composed of data collected from major computer systems at UTMB, including Epic, EPSi, PeopleSoft, Press Ganey and many others.
It is more than a warehouse in the traditional sense where information is simply stored, the UTMB Discover initiative includes the development of applications to aggregate data from all of UTMB’s mission areas into one location where it can be connected, compared and analyzed.
In essence, UTMB Discover is an enterprise data warehouse and analytical toolkit for the volumes of data generated throughout the institution, which will enable better, more efficient decision making by UTMB’s leadership while supporting front-line initiatives that improve patient care, enhance research initiatives and support our academic mission.
