Reporting Workbench
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Point & Click User" | Needs reports to complete daily job, but does not need to change them. The Majority of Users. |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Point & Click User With Edit" | Needs reports & The ability to edit, but not save reports to complete their daily job. |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Powe User" | Use reports daily like point and click users, & may tweak reports to meet specific needs. A handful of users, department managers & Directors. |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Public Report Writer" | Writes reports for other users but has minimal knowledge of templates |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Report Author " | Creates reports from report templates for power and point and click users, project team & support analysts. |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "Report Programmer" | Creates reporting templates to be used by report author. Very few;often dedicated report writers |
| What is a Reporting Workbench "System Administrator" | Does not use or write reports but manages publicationof reports., looks after performance,maintains reporting queue. Usually only one or two per organization |
| What is a "Report Consumer " | Any user who works to complete their daily tasks and workflows in the system |
| What is a "Application Team " | Members are responsible for ensuring that your report set meets your consumers’needs. Should be at least one application coordinator per application They will build the Reporting Workbench reports for their application’s users. |
| What is a "RW Administrator" | The Reporting Workbench administrator manages the Reporting Workbench implementation and build. |
| What is a "Reporting Coordinator" | The reporting coordinator is responsible for the overall success of reporting and for coordinating reporting tasks across all applications. This can be the same person as the RW Administrator. |
| What is "RW Report Design Specification" | The Reporting Workbench Report Design Specification is used to help plan and document RW reports that are built. It helps the report builder and the report |
| What is "Reporting Administrator Build Tracker" | The Reporting Workbench Administrator Build Tracker allows you to track what is going on in the system. It keeps track of the different reports that are built that need to be made available to end users. |
| What are "Reporting Process Workflows" | Outlines best practices on how to manage requests for new reports. It outlines workflows for how the request process can work, what needs to be done during development and testing, as well as processes for distribution, verification and training. |
| What are "Report Testing Forms" | After you create a new report, the Report Testing Forms will help you validate that the report is accurate and usable. |
| What is "Reporting Implementation Handbook" | Is a complete source of information during the reporting implementation process. It discusses key players, tools, timelines, and milestones that you need for success at go-live and beyond. |
| What are "Operational Reports" | Real Time reports needed by End Users to do their jobs. They are generally Time Sensitive, Relatively Small, Easily Accessible |
| What are "Application Reports" | Over time reports that show long term trends & data. |
| What is "Reporting Workbench " | A standardized operational reporting tool that can provide a similar look-and-feel to reports across applications. Reporting Workbench can run off of production data, or it can run off of your shadow server. |
| What is "Chronicles Ad Hoc" | Chronicles Ad Hoc Search and the Report Generator is a reporting tool available only to text-side users. Its main value is its fairly wide flexibility as it can search any master file for any value of any item. |
| What is "Cache Script" | The programming language on which Chronicles is built. |
| What is "Analyttical Reporting in Clarity" | A report needed not as a real-time source of data in order to drive a workflow, but as a tool to be used in long-term decision making. Comprehensive, Summarized & Standardized |
| What is "Clarity" | Generally used for Analytical Reporting. Clarity is a tool that extracts data from your Chronicles production system, transforms it into a relational format, and loads it onto a separate reporting server. |
| What are the problems with meeting an analytical need with an operational tool ? | Performance: May slow down the system Flexibility: Flexibility is limited, the important thing about this type of report is summarization not the details.. |
| What are the advantages to meeting an analytical need with Clarity ? | If you report on Clarity data rather than production data, running your report will not impact your end users in production. Since Clarity data is in an industry-standard format,you can access it using industry-standard tools such as Crystal Reports. |
| What is the problem with meeting an operational need with Clariity ? | Data is not real time & Interactivity unable to jump to a patients chart or account |
| What are the mechanisms for distributing Clarity reports ? | Epic Crystal Integration & Radar ( Radar allows a user to run and view Reporting Workbench reports, along with viewing Clarity reports via Epic-Crystal Integration all from a central repository) |
| What is the difference between operational and analytical reports ? | Operational reports are real-time reports needed by end users to do their jobs. Analytical reports are over-time reports that show long-term trends and data. |
| Why should you use Clarity for analytical reporting needs? | Clarity reports can be run over very large data sets without slowing down your production server. They also can include complex grouping and mathematics, and can be used to do integrated reporting on Epic and non-Epic data. |
| Why should you not use Clarity for operational reporting needs? | Clarity data is not real-time, so any operational reports built from Clarity data will be out-of-date from the moment they’re generated. They also cannot be used interactively, such as in a workflow where the report jumps a user to a patient’s chart. |
| You have a reporting need, and there is no pre-built application report to meet it. Do you need to use Clarity to meet this need? | Not necessarily. Reporting Workbench can be used for many nonstandard reporting needs. |
| What is Chronicles ? | Epic’s integrated production database. Epic’s applications all access the same Chronicles database in real-time |
| What is an "INI" | All master files have a three-character abbreviation called an INI. The INI is the unique identifier for the master file. |
| What is an "Item" | Items exist to store data. such as “attending "provider” “diagnosis” or “social security number”. Different data needs to be handled differently,each item has (3) characteristics Data Type, Response Type & Add Type. |
| How can you get an IN and an Item number from a workflow ? | Control Left Click Generally only works on read/write fields in Epic |
| What is a "Record ID" | A record ID is guaranteed to be unique within a master file, although not necessarily across master files |
| Whats is a "Record Name" | A record’s name doesnt have to be unique. You might have several pts named “J Smith” in your system, & each of these would store the name “J Smith” in item .2. However, these Smiths would each have a different rcrd ID, making them uniquely identifiable. |
| What is "Data Type" | Each item in Chronicles has a data type that limits the type of data the item can store, and determines the format that data will be stored in. For ex: Social, DOB |
| What are the six types of data types ? | 1)String: any comination of characters 2)Number 3) Date(w/o a time) 4) Time 5)Instant (a date and a time stored in a single instant) 6) Category : a predefined list of choices |
| What is "Response Type" | Determines how many lines of data an item can hold for a single contact. For example, at any one time, a patient can only have one weight, but she can have multiple symptoms, or a multi-line address. |
| What is a "Single Response Type" | Only one line of data can be stored per contact |
| What is a "Multiple Response" | Multiple lines of data can be stored per contact: These lines might be discrete pieces of data, such as multiple symptoms, or they might be multiple lines of a large block of text, such as an address |
| What is a "Related Group" | Multiple lines of data can be stored per contact, and each one of these lines is related to a line in another item. A patients phone number is a good example. as the group number is "94" & The response type is related. |
| What is an items "Add Type" | An item’s add type determines whether a different value for the item can be stored on each contact, or whether values are stored directly to the record. |
| What are the three types of "Add Type" | No Add: Store data directly on a record Response Each Time: Store values separately on each of a record’s contacts. Lookback: Store values separately on each contact,but assume that the last value entered remains true until a new value is entered. |
| What is the definition of "Networked Items in Chronicles" | Networked items can be used to easily look up any information from the networked record and are similar to the relational database concept of foreign keys. They hold a reference to data from another record somplace else. |
| What is "Chronicles Record Viewer " | Allows you to view raw Chronicles data. The Chronicles Record Viewer allows almost unlimited access to most Chronicles data. In short it allows you to view all the items set on a particular contact of a particular record. |
| If a patient comes to your clinic multiple times, should they have multiple records in EPT? | No, they will have one record and multiple contacts. |
| What is the difference between a multiple response item and a response each time item? | Multiple response is the response type of the item and tells you that an item can store more than one line of data. Response each time is the add type and tells you that the information changes overtime. |
| What’s the difference between searching on an indexed versus a nonindexed item? | Searching on an indexed item is faster than searching on a non-indexed item. |
| True or False: A patient who has been seen twice at your facility should have two records in the Patient master file. | False – The patient should only have one record, but that record will likely have two contacts. |
| A user shows you a field in Hyperspace that they want to report on. How can you find where in Chronicles that field files to? | Control left-click it. If that doesn’t work, try using the Chronicles Record Viewer. |
| What is the difference between a record and a contact? | A record is a single thing. What kind of thing depends on what master file it’s in – a record in the patient master file is a patient, a record in the provider master file is a provider, etc. A contact is a single moment in time for that record. |
| What is "KB_SQL " | A report writer module imbedded in Chronicles for access to live data. KB_SQL can transparently convert SQL syntax into an equivalent search through the Chronicles data structure |
| What is "Chronicles Report Generator" | In Text: Has the ability to create a variety of line lists, tables,matrices,sums,taabulations,two way tables & many way tables. It can generate statistical reports. |
| What is Chronicles "Ad Hoc Search" | In Text It can effectively search any master file for any value of any item. |
| What is "Cache Script" | The programming language on which Chronicles is built & the language that is used to write Reporting Workbench's more complex Epic related templates |
| What is "DBMS" | Data Base management System, for Epic its called "Chronicles" |
| What is The Hierachy within Chronicles ? | Master Files are subsets of the Chronicles Database>Records are the subsets of Master Files> Contacts are the subsets of Records>Items are the subsets of Contacts & Lines are the subsets of items. Chronicles>Master Files> Records>Contacts>Items>Lines |
| What are "Globals" | Custom data structures written directly to disk. |
| What is "Response Each Time" | Is the Add type & tells you that the information changes over time. An example would be patients weight. |
