ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems and computer program products for relating facts stored in healthcare databases are provided. At least two fact tables stored in a healthcare database including data meeting a criteria of interest are located. An identification key is assigned to the at least two fact tables including the located data meeting the criteria of interest. The identification key provides access to a dimension table including a list of subjects associated with the at least two fact tables including the located data meeting the criteria of interest so as to allow future identification of the subjects meeting the criteria of interest.
