characteristics: Correct Answer - 1. 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.
Correct Answer - Operational reports
What is the difference between operational and analytical reports?
Correct Answer - 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? Correct
Answer - 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?
Correct Answer - Most 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so any operational reports built from Clarity data will be out-of-date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?
Correct Answer - Not 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.
Correct Answer - Analytical 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? Correct Answer -
Analytical.
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.
