Daryl J. Kor, Man Li, and Brian W. Pickering, A Team of Clinicians, Researchers and Informatics Personnel at the Mayo Clinic have Taken a Homegrown Approach to Building an ICU Data Mart. As technology consumers, we have come to expect a high level of functionality on the computerized systems we have come to depend on for our everyday tasks such as banking, tracking of parcels, and airline ticketing. Unfortunately, that same functionality that is typified by those systems does not extend into healthcare, which is often hobbled by technical problems such as fragmented source databases.
