Abstract
OLAP means online analytical procedures. Cubes is a term used to indicate multidimensional datasets. OLAP cubes were first used in 1970, by SQL Express a software package for storing business data, like financial data, in an electronic warehouse, and, at the same time, turning raw data into meaningful information (business intelligence), and was initially called layered reports. Generally, financial data or production data are being summarized, and from these summaries subsummaries are computed like productions by time-periods, cities, and other subgroups. Instead of quantities of business data, quantities of health outcomes could, similarly, be analyzed. However, to date no such analyses have been performed. This chapter is to assess whether online analytical procedures can also be applied on health outcomes instead of business outcomes.
