CLR 110 - Clarity Data Model
Fundamentals
What is the first step in the report writing process? - ANSAnalyze request for key features...
-Who needs it
-What purpose
-How much data should it return
-How up to date does the data need to be
-How does the data need to be formatted
The most important decision of the report writing process is... - ANSWhich reporting tool can
best be used to meet the reporting need
In general, Operational Reports share the following key characteristics: - ANS1.
Time-sensitive
2. Relatively small
3. Easily accessible
* Actionable
____ _____ generally put more emphasis on filtering out unnecessary information than they
do on showing a comprehensive picture. - ANSOperational reports
What is the difference between operational and analytical reports? - ANSOperational 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? - ANSClarity 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? - ANSMost importantly,
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out-of-date from the moment they're generated.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? - ANSNot necessarily. Reporting Workbench can be
used for many non-standard reporting needs.
Would the following report be an operational or analytical report?
,Create a report that counts the number of logs each surgeon has been documented as
performing in during the past year. Display the log ID, the name of the surgeon, and the log's
primary procedure. - ANSAnalytical report
The report should display all patient encounters where the patient was less than 18 years old
at the time of the encounter. The report should be grouped by the primary visit provider, and
then by patient. Visits without a visit provider should be excluded. For each provider, the
report should show the provider's name. For each patient, the report should show the
patient's name, primary MRN, and sex. For each encounter, the report should show the date
of the encounter, the patient's age at the time of the encounter, and the patient's weight at
the time of the encounter.
Is this report operational or analytical? - ANSAnalytical.
Time frame for this report is unclear
If the requester followed up saying that the report would only be run for the last five days, the
report could be considered operational.

What reporting tool would you use to create this report? - ANSCrystal Reports.

These reports are integrated into Epic's applications as part of the workflow, and are by far
the tools end users are most familiar with. - ANSApplication Reports
, ____ _____ is a standardized operational reporting tool that can provide a similar
look-and-feel to reports across applications. - ANSReporting Workbench
Almost every Epic application releases standard Reporting Workbench report templates,
including _____, _____, and _____ applications - ANS1. Clinical
2. Billing
3. Access
True or False
It is possible to substantially modify a Reporting Workbench template or even to create a
new one from scratch - ANSTrue
Because Reporting Workbench is integrated into Hyperspace, it can be acted on just like an
____ _____ - ANSApplication Report
_____ is the programming language on which Chronicles is built - ANSCaché Script
A custom _____ report has almost limitless flexibility, and in many cases can be optimized
for much better speed at a certain task than another tool can provide. - ANSCaché
Analytical reports generally share the following characteristics: - ANS1. Comprehensive
2. Summarized
3. Standardized
Which Analytical report characteristic is described below...
Analytical reports are designed to make sense out of large patterns. To discern large
patterns, they need access to large amounts of data. An operational report might display ten
data points; an analytical report might display ten million. - ANSComprehensive
Which Analytical report characteristic is described below...
While the analytical report might be based on ten million data points, there are very few
people that want a ten million line document. Generally, analytical reports are grouped and
summarized. Gleaning a few key numbers out of a vast bulk of data can require much more
sophisticated mathematics than are generally required by operational reports. -
ANSSummarized
Which Analytical report characteristic is described below...
The readers of analytical reports are often not Epic end users; they're managers and
executives who expect their data to be presented in a certain format. In addition, they may
want to see non-Epic data, such as payroll information, integrated with Epic data. -
ANSStandardized
When faced with an analytical reporting need, there's generally one tool of choice: -
ANSClarity
