Considerations

We recommend the following approach:

  • Design one or more classification hierarchies to serve as the basis for the Reports window user interface. Design these hierarchies first, and in conjuction with the organizational structure (see Designing an Organizational Structure).
  • Design as many additional hierarchies as you need to help users find object definitions and reports. For examples, see Classification Hierarchies for Use in Searching Only.
  • If you plan to use Oracle LSH to process financial or administrative data as well as clinical data, define additional subtypes and hierarchies. You can add subtypes and hierarchies at any time.
