INTRODUCTION
Data warehousing is the process of transforming and storing data in an effective manner in
data warehouse (Laursen and Thorlund, 2016). This study is going to show importance of
business intelligence trend in clinical data mining. With the help of business intelligence tools,
companies can transform all raw materials in important data which help them out in making
decision. All transformed and analysed data can be stored safe in data warehousing, data bases
and data files in specific data structure. It will also show importance of artificial intelligence and
cloud computing which is one of the main and effective trend of business intelligence in clinical
data mining and process of analysing data.
MAIN BODY
Current trends in data warehousing, business intelligence and data mining
Data warehousing and business intelligence are main and important terms as well as
process which are being used for storing all important informations or data of company in both
internal and external data bases from several sources (Peng, Tuan and Liu, 2017). In the context
of business intelligence, it can be said that it is one of the best tool which companies use for
collection, integration, analysis as well as visualization of company’s data. For understanding it
in more detail, it can be said that companies get raw data from different sources which needed to
be transformed in an effective manner. One of the main reasons of completing this process and
transforming data is to give and have meaningful insight into data for further queries. An
effective data mining by using business intelligence can also allow companies in detecting fraud.
Clinical data mining can be defined as an effective research strategy which is being used
by both researcher and practitioners to analyse and interpret both qualitative and quantitative
informations from available medical records. The main aim of clinical data mining is to make
practitioners able to make an effective decision regarding healthcare (Arunachalam, Page and
Thorsteinsson, 2016). It is not possible for professional of clinics or medical environment to
analyse large volume of patients and other data and identifying that which are important and
what to do with it. But with the help of business intelligence, professionals have become able to
focus on projects of specific areas which in turn make their strategies successful.

In the context of current trends of business intelligence and data mining, it can be said that
it is important for organizations and healthcare departments to satisfy needs of customers and for
this they require to identify their needs. Customers expectations are increasing day by day and in
this current changing environment, key of the success of organizations are all about satisfying
customers changing needs (Karami, Rahimi and Shahmirzadi, 2017). It allows them to make an
effective decision and accomplishing their goals as well.
Artificial intelligence and cloud computing in clinical data mining: In the context of
current trends of business intelligence or process of storing and transforming data in clinical data
mining, it can be said that artificial intelligence is playing a vital role. Artificial intelligence and
machine learning are supporting all staff members of clinic or healthcare departments in
reducing their work load, managing time; delivering qualitative healthcare services and reduces
cost of clinical radiologist (Ramachandran, 2017). Artificial intelligence allows them to analyse
vast amount of image data automatically along with providing meaningful insight in order to
make effective decisions. Machine learning and artificial intelligence have features of learning
diagnostic complexity images which save their time and give them accurate and effective
outcomes. The main aim of cloud computing is to transform traditional approach of computing
by delivering service of both hardware and software application resources.
There are several uses of artificial intelligence and machine learning in clinics and in
clinical data mining as well which includes: Machine based learning and artificial intelligence
are being mainly used to predict pharmaceutical properties of molecular compounds for drug
discovery. Helps in learning difficult diagnostic codes as well as recognizing medical images
related to pathology slides, retinal scan and internal organs. This feature of artificial intelligence
and machine learning makes them able to diagnose and trace disease progression faster. Rather,
all these it also allows them in developing deep-learning techniques on multimodal data sources
like combining genomic and clinical data in order to detect new predictive model (Ahmed, El
Seddawy and Nasr, 2019). So, it can be said that business intelligence trend or artificial
intelligence tools have abilities to deal with uncertain as well as incomplete data sets.
In addition, in the context of importance of business intelligence trends it can be said that it
plays an important role in all industries but one of the main important industries where it should
be developed and implemented to the great extent is medical. One of the main reasons is this
department mainly work for improving health of patients. Promoting qualitative health is
