摘要：Evidence-based medicine is a new direction in
modern healthcare. Its task is to prevent, diagnose and medicate
diseases using medical evidence. Medical data about a large patient
population is analyzed to perform healthcare management and
medical research. In order to obtain the best evidence for a given
disease, external clinical expertise as well as internal clinical
experience must be available to the healthcare practitioners at right
time and in the right manner. External evidence-based knowledge
can not be applied directly to the patient without adjusting it to the
patient’s health condition. We propose a data warehouse based
approach as a suitable solution for the integration of external
evidence-based data sources into the existing clinical information
system and data mining techniques for finding appropriate therapy
for a given patient and a given disease. Through integration of data
warehousing, OLAP and data mining techniques in the healthcare
area, an easy to use decision support platform, which supports
decision making process of care givers and clinical managers, is
built. We present three case studies, which show, that a clinical data
warehouse that facilitates evidence-based medicine is a reliable,
powerful and user-friendly platform for strategic decision making,
which has a great relevance for the practice and acceptance of
evidence-based medicine.
