2.1 Product Overview

Oracle Health Sciences Cohort Explorer 1.0 is a new product from Oracle Health Sciences. This product provides web based search and query functionality for Patient Cohort identification and selection. It is a thin client application that does not require installation, and can be accessed on any computer with a compatible browser as long as you have a valid username and password.

OHSCE includes the following components:

  • Cohort Data Mart (CDM) - Predefined facts and dimensions to derive and store business attributes and associated descriptive terms. CDM is designed for fast, real-time querying for patient cohorts satisfying various criteria.

  • Reports - Predefined tables and charts using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).

  • Dashboards - Predefined functional dashboards presenting reports by user roles.

  • User Roles - Customizable roles with access granularity to the level of individual pages in dashboards.

    Support for creating new roles and modifying predefined roles.

  • ETL - A set of ETL scripts that let you transform and load data into the Cohort Data mart from the Healthcare Data Model. You will be able to optionally select the modes of patient de-identification, and to implement de-identification of your own choosing.

Cohort explorer is also integrated with Oracle Health Sciences Clinical Development Center (CDC), letting expert users use the CDC Query builder functionality to generate and save highly complex queries.
