Abstract :
The Data Warehouse for Lymphoma Decision Support System is a data warehouse containing relevant Lymphoma medical information and patient data. The data warehouse provides the source for all current and historical clinical data to help doctors and other health professionals to improve the quality of diagnosis, clinical care and treatment recommendation decision making for Lymphoma patients. This paper focus on the evaluation of the architecture, data inputs as well as data warehousing processes and techniques of the Lymphoma data warehouse. An evaluation model based on Bill Inmon´s definition of data warehouse is proposed to evaluate the Lymphoma data warehouse.
