Abstract
A new field of customizing business intelligence systems is the healthcare industry. Healthcare providers’ government and companies in Egypt, in a charge to enhance care quality and cost-effective, are progressively approaching IT-based business strategies. The threats of healthcare management and how to achieve clinical integration have been paid attention from national priorities. This step is a priori stage before developing an integrated IT-solution that achieves the strategic goals. Applications of business intelligence (BI) in different areas of the economy have shown to be very quickly growing. In recent years, it has been employed increasingly in Egypt in different areas. BI provides an effective methods and robust development environment for business intelligence in the healthcare domain. This paper discusses the newest and hot topics in two basic dimensions: business intelligence and healthcare management and designs the basis for customized BI deployment in the healthcare industry and proposes a customized version for immature Egyptian healthcare industry environment. Finally, this work reaches a conclusion that classical BI boundaries do not suit the industry of health care without data warehousing. It additionally gives particular directions toward the design of a data warehouse (DW) structure for the Egyptian healthcare field by proposing an iterative incremental approach.
