Overview:

Aurora's progress began in 1996, with an initiative to improve patient outcomes. Teams of Aurora clinicians met to determine best treatment practices. The teams later included IT professionals for guidance on how to gather and mine reliable patient data to support those practices. As a result of careful analysis, Aurora selected an Oracle data warehouse as the heart of the system to help it improve patient outcomes. Off late, Aurora's practitioners update their knowledge through continuous research on the finest medical and nursing science proven practices. The Oracle system constantly tracks their progress, so the Aurora can set even higher goals. Access to the organized information has also allowed Aurora to change institutional behavior by rewarding physicians for improving their patients' health.
