         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one data transformation operation comprises automatically transcribing a first data field for each given dose order record in the subset with a second data field of the respective ones of the dose order records of the subset. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one data transformation operation is applied only to a given type of the dose order records. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the given type of the dose order records include total parenteral nutrition (“TPN”) doses, and wherein the first data field comprises a dose description field and the second data field comprises a drug name field for the given dose. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the central server is further operative to invoke another of the data cube class definitions depending from the base cube class definition for application to the subset of the multidimensional data set corresponding to the given facility to create the dynamically generated report regarding the subset of the multidimensional data set. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of data cube class definitions includes a parameter indicative of whether data cubes built using the data cube class definitions include protected health information (“PHI”). 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the parameter is dynamically generated based on at least one dimension of the data cube class definition. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user workstation is operative to receive login information from the user accessing the data analytics tool to initiate a user session, wherein the user workstation is operative to communicate with the central server to authenticate the user to the central server based on the login information received at the user workstation, and wherein the central server is operative to populate a session variable related to the user session based on authenticated user login information, the session variable comprising the user information indicative of the user workstation. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the data analytics tool further comprises a cryptographic service that is operative to receive a token from a user attempting to access the central server, wherein the token is at least partially based on the session variable populated by the central sever, and wherein the cryptographic service is operative to compare the token to available tokens at the central sever to determine if the user is to be granted access to the data analytics tool. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein upon matching the token to one of the available tokens, the token is issued to the user and the corresponding available token is removed from the central server.
