Avoiding snowflakes

Thanks everyone for their input in these forums, I have been able to answer many of my questions by just browsing what's already there.

However, I'm a bit stuck on this one.

I have a Patient dimension, which contains information like
- URNumber (business key)
- Title
- Surname
- GivenName
- DateOfBirth
- MedicareNumber
- Address

I also want to add the following information, but I already have a Location dimension containing this hierarchy
- PostCode
- Suburb
- StatisticalLocalArea
- LocalGovernmentArea
- ResidentialRegion
- State
- Country

Should I replicate this information in the Patient dimension, or snowflake from the Patient dimension to my Location dimension ?

Thanks in advance

Why not have location as an FK on the fact?

Thanks ngalemmo for your reply.

Could be a number of facts, Admission would be one of them.

I would need to keep the Location business key components (postcode/suburb) in the Patient dimension as a Type 2 SCD.
Then put something like PatientLocationID at time of Admission in the Admission fact.

Does that sound sensible ? I'm having trouble letting go of 20+ years on 3NF !!

Thanks
Steve
