In your role as an IT specialist at your hospital, you have been approached by the chair of the pediatric department to assist in the creation of a database for the collection of information on a variety of childhood communicable diseases and vaccination statuses. You propose using a data warehouse, which would pull information from the hospital's clinical repository. The chairperson is unfamiliar with these terms and asks for clarification. 

Submit:

· Explain the concept of a data warehouse and differentiate it from a clinical repository.

· The chairperson states he is familiar with external data sources to find out about pediatric communicable diseases to create the database and suggest that you use those sources. Support your position regarding internal sources at the hospital being a better choice than external sources.
