The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) comprises three separate, but affiliated, organizations: the Hospitals and Health Centers (HHC), which is the clinical delivery system; the University of Michigan Medical School; and MCare, the University of Michigan-owned health care plan. A health system data warehouse (HSDW) database was developed from these organizations in 2000 and contains administrative data such as ICD-9 billing codes, as well as coded patient demographics. Five methods of interface between warehouse and users have evolved since its inception, and each is aimed at the needs of a particular user group.
