Q

Explain Concept: Component-level personalization

A

Component personalization records are only created if a user changes the component content (e.g., adding a badge to a table component). The degree and manner of component-level personalization depends on the type of component. 1. A link component is a list of links to Hyperspace activities, reports or external URLs. Through personalization, a user could re-order their links, or even add a new URL-based link 2. A table component displays summary data in a table. Through personalization, a user could add thresholds that highlight results in the table above or below a certain value.

c. Add a slice
32
Define: Data Model
Epic-released and custom built data models are stored as FDM records. Data models do not list their available filters (FDS records).
33
Define: Filter
The word filter is used in SlicerDicer to refer to the many data points that can be used as criteria, slices, measures, and display columns.Every slice, measure, or criterion used by SlicerDicer is an FDS record. These records each list the different SlicerDicer data models in which they can be used
34
Define: Base
a data-first reporting tool. This means that when you first open up a data model, you start with the entire population, and then add appropriate criteria to hone in on the most important data.

43
Define: Database
A database is an organized collection of data. The purpose of a database defines its structure. Chronicles, Clarity and Caboodle each have different purposes, thus each has a different structure, and each is separate from each other. Also known as data sources
44
Define: Chronicles
Transactional Database. Structure of Chronicle is Tree-like with every branch of the tree becoming progressively more granular. It is a hierarchical database with real-time information used for daily operations. No tables in Chronicles, the tree structure is divided into the following groupings 1. Master Files 2. Records 3. Contacts 4. items 5. lines
45
Define: Master file
Master files contain information about a broad subject Example 1: The patient master file contains all patient's medical records in your system Example 2: Other examples include master files for medications, procedures, orders, notes and departments. Each master file contains records
46
Define: Record
Recorders contain information about individual entities within a master file. Example: A record in the patient master file contains information about a single patient. For instances, a record in the orders master file contains information about a single order. Records contain many contacts
47
Define: Contact
Contacts are time-based They contain information about points in time for a record. Example The patient master file uses contacts for patient encounters. Individual data within a record or contact are stored in items.
48
Define: Item
Individual data within a record or contact are stored in items. They are data points (discrete data points) Examples of items in a patient master file include social security number and admission date.
49
Define: Lines
Items that store multiple pieces of information at a time have multiple lines. Example There is an item for diagnoses that has one line for each diagnosis entered.
50
Define: Clarity
A relational database designed to be efficient and flexible for reporting on large amounts of data over long periods of time. It is normalized and compact (small and efficient). Data is stored in tables with two dimensional grids, rows and columns. Each column holds a piece of information, similar to an item in Chronicles. Each row represents an entity that the data in the columns are about. Example: a table has one row for every patient encounter, and each column has information about that patient encounter. Clarity data is accessed using SQL or tools that use SQL. Data for Clarity is extracted nightly thus, it does not contain today's data.
51
Define: Caboodle
Similar to Clarity, relational database with tables of rows and columns accessed via SQL Designed to make reporting simpler and efficient than Clarity. As a data warehourse, it contains both Epic and non-Epic data Clarity holds more data/information than Caboodle. Similar to Clarity, Caboodle is not real-time information, it does not contain today's data Not all reports can be written in Caboodle.
52
Define: ETL
ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) Every night the Clairty ETL process transfers data from Chronicles to Clarity Caboodle ETL Transfers data from Clarity to Caboodle the same night as the Clarity ETL
53
Define: SQL
SQL: Structured Query Language. It is a coding language used to generate sets of data from relational databases such as Clarity and Caboodle. It is not specific to Epic's software
54

In the contact field, select Lana's 5-31-2017 Office Visit 5. Click View 6. Look for items or information, items are the numbers to the left of each line item. --Names and numbers are listed in blue --Values stored in items are yellow
55
Perform Task: Find Clarity tables and columns that extract a Chronicles item
The Clarity Dictionary lists all tables that extract an item. Click on a table to further investigate, report writers can use these tables to find the information they need to build reports in Clarity. 1. Open an internet browser 2. Log in to the UserWeb (userweb.epic.com) 3. On the right side of the screen, under documentation click on Data Handbook 4. Click on Clarity Dictionary on the top right 5. Select the appropriate Epic version 6. Search Clarity columns, enter INI and item number of the item you want to find 7. Search
56
Perform Task: Find Caboodle tables and columns that extract a Chronicles item
Use Caboodle Dictionary to find tables and columns in Caboodle. Search INI and item number or by Clarity table and column 1. Open the Caboodle Dictionary 2. Either type INI and item number separated by a space, or type a Clarity table and column as TABLE. COLUMN 3. Search for "EPT 7070" Notes: --Search results display table as red heading --The table name is a description of the table --The load packages (Clarity Column/Chronicles Item) are in green
57
Explain Concepts: What makes each Epic database unique?
Chronicles: Tree-like structure --Transactional database --Operational database --Hierarchical database --Real Time for Daily Operations Clarity --Data Store --Relational database --For Reporting --Normalized (compact: small and efficient) --1 Day behind on data Caboodle --Epic's Data Warehouse --Relational database --Designed to make reporting simpler & efficient --Both Epic and non-Epic data --Clarity hold more information than Caboodle -- 1 Day behind on data
58
Explain Concepts: Advantages and limitations of each Epic database?
Chronicles: Advantages -Real-Time -Stores medical record in a single location -Creates efficiency for retrieval -Tree-structure: branches becomes more granular Chronicles: Disadvantages -Not good for historical trending data -Only accessed via Epic Tools, no SQL queries Clarity: Advantages -Compact, small and efficient -Good for historical trending data -Flexible for reporting with large amts of data -Accessed via SQL not epic tools Clarity: Disadvantages -Not today's data -Must know SQL or Crystal Reports: Training Caboodle: Advantages -Make reporting simpler and more efficient -Tables & Columns: More intuitively named -Epic and Non-Epic Data Caboodle: Disadvantages -Not all-inclusive: Clarity holds more information -Not today's data
59
What is the difference between a record and a contact?
A record is a single entity. What kind of thing depends on the master file -- a record in the patient master file is a patient, a record in the provider master file is a provider, etc. A contact represents a single set of data (usually representing a unique time period) on that record.
60
What is the difference between a multiple response item and a response each time item?
These refer to different item characteristics. "Multiple response" refers to a particular Response Type. A multiple response item can hold multiple answers on one contact. "Response each time" refers to a particular add type. A response each time item can hold different answers on different contacts.
61
True or False: A patient who has 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 have two contacts.
62
