How is the CSDW and DSIS Related?

A Data Warehouse is a repository of integrated information, available for queries and analysis.   Data and information are extracted from heterogeneous sources as they are generated... This makes it much easier and more efficient to run queries over data that originally came from different sources.  The Client Services Data Warehouse (CSDW) includes the capability to query and report on different type of SERVICES performed on a client via a WEB interface, using the technology as defined above within a Data Warehouse environment.  In this particular case information made available by the DHHS Mental Health Division's generating of standard reports within the CSDW (a/k/a MH's Decision Support Information System).  PLEASE NOTE:  This is " NOT " the same as access to the CDW (Client Data Warehouse).  Although, most of the information available in the CDW is used to populate the database within the CSDW or MH's Decision Support Information System. In addition, HIPAA and State regulations prohibit in some public queries/reports that counts Less than or Equal to 5 MUST NOT be shown.
