Abstract     In the following article we present development of the Management Information System, an implementation of our own Data Warehouse, build on top of the existing Healthcare Information System. We discuss requirements and phases of development of the system, we present the structure of the system, the experiences with end users and obstacles that we met, as well as possible improvements end extensions of the system. The system is designed as a framework that works with workload measurement sub- systems, which are defined as multidimensional arrays, and are observed through different units of time. Each of the axis has several hierarchical structures build on top of it. Setting up the system is a difficult task, because it requires a good knowledge of organisational structure of a particular hospital. We used an incremental approach in defining the organisational structure. On top of the framework we build a user customisable graphical user interface, which enables different types of end users to efficiently use the system.
