Description
The overarching goal of this project is to create a statewide animal health data
warehouse and data-mining capability for Kentucky. The system will integrate animal
health and diagnostic testing data bases of the University of Kentucky Livestock
Disease Diagnostic Center, the Murray State University Breathitt Veterinary Center and
the Office of the Kentucky State Veterinarian (OSV). The system will aid animal health
officials to manage day-to-day disease outbreaks, emerging diseases, and provide the
necessary decision support necessary to efficiently manage an agro-terrorist event.
Supporting Objectives-- This will be accomplished through the utilization of clinical
archives of over 1 million clinical cases processed through two veterinary laboratories
during a period of fifteen years. The data base which is part of the Laboratory
Information Management System developed and implemented in a previous project will
be utilized to assemble the data warehouse. Plans to accomplish project goals-- At
the close of business each day, demographic and clinical testing data will be exported
from the LlMS in operation at each laboratory into a centralized data warehouse which
will be accessible by both laboratories and the Office of the State Veterinarian. The
warehouse will then be available to authorized users for ad hoc queries about specific
animal health issues. In addition, time-phased initiated report processes will deliver
trend reports, thematic disease distribution maps and summaries that will be published
directly to the web. Relevance of the project to the goals of the program-The data
warehouse will improve animal health situational awareness for state and federal
veterinarians, epidemiologists, practicing veterinarians and farmers. The system could
become a model for the U.S. and could lead to a national repository of animal health
data.
