    Study Notes

    Data Gathering

    • The first step in the Business Intelligence (BI) process is to gather data from both internal and external sources.
    • Internal data sources include spreadsheets, flat files, cloud storage platforms, SharePoint, and databases.
    • External data sources include social media platforms, market research, and e-commerce apps.
    • Collecting and organizing all relevant data helps make informed decisions based on the information.

    Data Preparation and Wrangling

    • Data preparation involves cleaning and removing duplicates and errors to prepare the data for analysis.
    • Data preparation helps to convert complex data into accurate and reliable data sets suitable for further processing and analysis.
    • Data wrangling refers to a series of processes to explore, transform, and verify raw data sets from their unstructured and complex forms into high-quality data.

    Data Integration and Storage

    • Data integration merges data from various sources and organizes it within the data warehouse, database or data lakes, and data marts.
    • Data may require cleaning and transformation using the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process.
    • Data storage typically involves storing data in a centralized repository, such as a data warehouse or a data mart, to optimize for efficient querying and analysis.
    • Ensuring data consistency across all data sources is crucial, including information such as services provided, dates of service, patient and dentist names, and insurance coverage.

    Data Analysis and Mining

    • Data analysis involves using quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques to turn raw data into valuable and actionable information.
    • A data analyst uses four analytical techniques: Descriptive analytics, diagnostic analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics.
    • Data analysis can provide insights into confidential information, such as the number of patients served, number of dental specialists, and insurance partner information.

    Communicating Data Analysis Findings

    • BI leverages various reporting and visualization tools to transform complex data sets and patterns into visually engaging and easily understandable reports for stakeholders.
    • Creating dashboards, reports, and charts helps to communicate findings to stakeholders and enable informed decisions.
    • Dashboards can display key performance indicators (KPIs) and trends, and can be used to answer specific questions and provide insights.
