Innovative applications of an enterprise-wide information warehouse.

The Information Warehouse at The Ohio State University Medical Center is a comprehensive effort integrating data from over 70 sources throughout the enterprise. The IW serves a broad diversity of customers in all mission areas of the medical center, from clinical operations and administration to education, to research.
