✔✔Define: Data Type - ✔✔Data Type controls what kind of data can be stored in a
given item.
✔✔Define: Add Type - ✔✔Add Types defines whether data is stored for each record or
for each contact.
✔✔Define: Response Type - ✔✔Response Type determines how many lines of data an
item can store at a time.
✔✔Define: Networking - ✔✔Networked items act as pointers to other records/contacts
in Chronicles
✔✔Define: Indexing - ✔✔Indexed Items can be searched faster than non-indexed
items.
✔✔Perform Task: Identify an item's characteristics in Hyperspace using control left-click
- ✔✔To open the Item Information window, navigate to a Hyperspace field and press
down the CTRL key while left-clicking. An INI + Item is the address for a piece of data in
Chronicles. The easiest way to identify an item number for a data point is to find where
the end user input the value into Hyperspace and open the Item information window.
✔✔Perform Task: Find information about a Chronicle item using the Record Viewer -
✔✔Record Viewer
-To see data in the Record Viewer, you must specify a Master File, Record and Contact.
You can optionally add a range for the items to display.
Perform Task Example:
1. Log in as an Administrator and open Record Viewer
2. To view an Office Visit, enter Info into RV
-INI: EPT

✔✔Perform Task: Find information about a Chronicle item using Item Editor - ✔✔Item
Editor: Shows the definitions of a Chronicles Item. It does not show what value is stored
in an item. Instead, it shows information about how the item behaves for all values.
The Item Editor is useful for investigating properties and reading descriptions about a
particular item.
Two methods:
,1. In Record Viewer, Click on the item hyperlink to see the item in the Item Editor
2. If you are not in Record Viewer, open the Item Editor activity separately and specify
which INI and Item number you would like to see.
Example:
--Use the Chart Search to open the Item Editor activity
--Indicate a Database EPT
--Indicate an item by typing in the name or the item number: 70
✔✔What is the Item Editor? - ✔✔Shows the definitions of a Chronicles Item. It does not
show what value is stored in an item. Instead, it shows information about how the item
behaves for all values. Useful for investigating properties and reading descriptions
about a particular item
✔✔Explain: The structure and relationship of the parts of Chronicles (Master file, record,
contact item, line). - ✔✔The Chronicles hierarchy contains the follow levels
1. Chronicles (Storage:File Cabinet)
2. Master File (Patient Records: Cabinet Drawer)
3. Record (File Folder)
4. Contact (sheet of paper from file folder)
5. Item (Individual data stored on the paper)
--ex: Attending Providers
6. Line (Multiple lines of data stored on paper)
--ex: First Attending Providers
✔✔Review Questions Chapter 6 - ✔✔
✔✔What master file stores dashboard resources? - ✔✔IDK
✔✔What master file stores metric definitions? - ✔✔IDN
✔✔If a component has a data source of Component Record, will it leverage the metric
framework? - ✔✔No. A Data Source of Dashboard Resource indicates a component will
use the Metric Framework.
✔✔True or False: A metric definition may only be referenced by one dashboard
resource record. - ✔✔False
✔✔Study Checklist: Chapter 6 - ✔✔
✔✔Define: Metric - ✔✔The metric framework allows an organization to collect, store,
and display data for key performance indicators (KPIs) and other metrics in Radar.
Further, it allows you to share with other Epic Community members and benchmark
your performance against your peers.
, ✔✔Define: Dashboard resource - ✔✔The Dashboard resources reside in the IDK
master file.
Resources store settings related to how the data is actually displayed like what linked
reports appear when a row is expanded.
Each resource points to its particular metric and displays the data associated with that
metric.
✔✔Define: Summary Level - ✔✔Or Benchmark definitions (metrics) reside in the IDN
master file.
They determine how raw data are summarized into displayable data.
Example:
If you were asked to find the percentage of active MyChart users, you would divide the
number of active users by the total number of users. That, in essence, is a metric
✔✔Define: Summary Target - ✔✔The records of the CSF master file store the data
points that are shown on the dashboard. Each record represents the collection of data
associated with a metric for a specific summary level and summary level target.
Example:
The metric about MyChart activation rates would have one CSF record for each
department, location, service area and facility for which it collected data.
✔✔Define: Manual SQL Metrics - ✔✔The IDJ master file is primarily used for Manual
SQL metrics, and is where you define the settings for the query as well as the query
script itself.
✔✔Define: Metric Notification - ✔✔Organizations track metrics to prompt action and
decision-making. Radar can track metric values and notify users should the values meet
defined criteria.
These notifications are also known as Triggered Metric Events (TMEs). Use the
Notification Editor to build TMEs.
Though abbreviated as Triggered Metric Events (TMEs), metric notifications do not live
in a TME master file.
✔✔Perform Task: Build a component that uses multiple dashboard resources. -
✔✔Practice!! Refer to Manual: Page: 6-15, or 153
✔✔Perform Task: Build a component that pulls data from multiple summary targets for
the same resource. - ✔✔Practice!! Refer to Manual: Page: 6-27, or 165
