Business Intelligence Healthcare Model: Getting the Right Requirements for Malaysian Rural Citizens

It is a big challenge for Malaysian healthcare authorities in providing services to rural communities. To meet up with the challenges, a concept called business intelligence (BI) is employed for their informed decision-making that utilizes their enormous data. However, only a few of BI initiatives have their success stories as many are still struggling to justify the investments. Among the most reason of the failures were that BI requirements were overlooked, leading to poor BI deployments. Taking rural healthcare in Malaysia as a case study, the paper attempts to model BI requirements using goal-oriented approach. Rural healthcare BI requirements were modelled two-folds: (1) decision making requirements, cantered on stakeholders; and (2) BI data requirements, focused on organizational and decisional aspects. The model can guide BI developers on the process and data needed in rural healthcare strategic decision-making. Theoretically it provides new insights and facilitates the improvement of new healthcare knowledge

Requirement modeling for data warehouse using goal-UML approach: the case of health care

Decision makers use Data Warehouse (DW) for performing analysis on business information. DW development is a long term process with high risk of failure and it is difficult to estimate the future requirements for the decision-making. Further, the current DW design does not consider the early and late requirements analysis during its development, especially by using Unified Modeling Language (UML) approach. Due to this problem, it is crucial that current DW modeling approaches covered both early and late requirements analysis in the DW design. A case study was conducted on Malaysia Rural Health Care (MRH) to gather the requirements for DW design. The goal-oriented approach has been used to analyze the early requirements and later was mapped to UML approach to produce a new DW modeling called Goal-UML (G-UML). The proposed approach highlighted the mapping process of DW conceptual schema to a class diagram to produce a complete MRH-DW design. The correctness of the DW design was evaluated using expert reviews. The G-UML method can contribute to the development of DW and be a guideline to the DW developers to produce an improved DW design that meets all the user requirement

Goal-UML approach for modeling data warehouse requirements of Malaysian rural health care

Malaysian health care authorities in providing information system for rural communities required to meet up with the challenges, to provide informed decision-making by utilizes their enormous data.However, only a few of these initiatives have their success stories as many are still struggling to justify the investments such as Data Warehouse System (DWS).Among the most reason of the failures were that DWS requirements were overlooked, leading to poor DWS deployments. This paper attempts to model DWS requirements using goal-oriented and UML-based approach. DWS requirements for Rural health care were modeled two-folds: decision making requirements that centered on stakeholders; and focused on organizational and decisional aspects.The model can guide DWS development in the process and data needed in rural health care strategic decision-making.This provides new insights and facilitates the improvement of new health care knowledg

Goal-Driven Approach to Model Interaction between Viewpoints of a Multi-View KDD process

International audienceA data mining project is usually held by several actors (domain experts, data analysts, KDD experts ...), each with a different viewpoint. In this paper we propose to enhance coordination and knowledge sharing between actors of a multiview KDD analysis through a goal driven modeling of interactions between viewpoints. After a brief review of our approach of viewpoint in KDD, we will first develop a Goal Model that allows identification and representation of business objectives during the business understanding step of KDD process. Then, based on this goal model, we define a set of relations between viewpoints of a multi-view analysis; namely equivalence, inclusion, conflict and requirement
