2 Helps enable data governance and standardization, operational insight, risk and compliance reporting, and performance management V8.6: Provides an integrated business model, atomic warehouse model, and dimensional warehouse model to support cross-functional enterprise views, analytics, and applications Delivers a set of business solution templates that represent analytical business requirements covering clinical, financial, and operational data integrated across the enterprise Delivers content to support Healthcare Effectiveness and Data Information Set (HEDIS), National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and other industry-wide standards Helps enable data governance and standardization, operational insight, risk and compliance reporting, and performance management In addition to delivering selected regulatory and business content, this release helps lower the total cost of ownership through integrated offerings that include tooling such as InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA), hardware and software solutions such as IBM Netezza, and solutions that simplify implementation and maintenance. Key prerequisites The optimal operating environment for Health Plan Data Model and Healthcare Provider Data Model includes: Operating system: Windows TM 7 Memory: 3 GB Before you install, ensure that your computer meets the hardware and software requirements. Planned availability date November 29, 2012 Description To help healthcare organizations achieve faster results, IBM has packaged the knowledge from years of experience with information projects in industries into IBM Industry Models. These models deliver industry expertise and regulatory best practices in a form usable by both business and IT, enabling IT to implement projects more quickly. Key components of the data models: Business terms: An enterprise-wide vocabulary of business concepts that provides an organization a view of itself and its industry. Business data model: A conceptual data model that specifies the third normal form data structures required to represent concepts defined in business terms. Atomic warehouse model: A design-level data model that represents an enterprise-wide repository of atomic data used for informational processing. Dimensional warehouse model: An enterprise-wide repository for analytical data. It contains star schema style dimensional data structures organized around fact entities that support analytical requirements. Business solution templates: A set of industry-relevant analytical reporting requirements organized around business focus areas. The dimensional model IBM United States Software Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 approach, based on business solution templates, enables integration with IBM Netezza and OLAP environments such as IBM Cognos. Accessibility by people with disabilities A US Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be requested at Product positioning V8.5 helps accelerate deployment of enterprise data warehouses with a prebuilt data model. It enables health plan insurers to better understand their members, groups, providers, and networks, thereby improving the handling of claims and client health management V8.6 can be used to correlate clinical, financial, operational, and payer data in a cohesive and flexible schema. This can help accelerate the understanding of population-level health, manage and quantify risk, and ask open-ended questions to identify opportunities for transformation and innovation. and are used in critical business initiatives with attributes that help enable: Operational insight: Customers are using the IBM Industry Data Models to provide a comprehensive, analytical reporting framework. Risk and compliance reporting: The IBM Industry Data Models support the reporting for a series of regulatory requirements. Data governance and standardization: Customers can use data models to help define a corporate set of standard definitions and best practices around their data. IT can then use data integration, business integration, and master data management infrastructure to enforce standards and use data profiling techniques for compliance monitoring and exception alerting. Enterprise architecture: The Industry Models provide structure and content to support the business and application layers of an enterprise architecture.
