CDW110v Caboodle Data Model
Fundamentals
Caboodle Dictionary - ANSBasic metadata for tables. Find Descriptions of tables and
columns available in data model. Identify tables that can be linked together.
Caboodle Dictionary Editor - ANSIn depth view of Caboodle ETL packages and data lineage.
Shows Clarity tables data that extracted from when populating tables, which ETL packages
are used by Caboodle tables and dependencies amongst the tables in Caboodle.
Caboodle Executions - ANSWhere Caboodle administrators can create, edit, run and
monitor executions. Can be used to schedule recurring executions.
Caboodle Workqueues - ANSLogs the different types of issues that can occur during the
ETL process that require manual intervention to resolve.
Caboodle configurations - ANSmodify settings, perform customizations such as adding
attributes to the data model and view reports related to Caboodle configuration and
operation.
Caboodle BI Developers - ANSwrite Caboodle reports and should have access to the
Caboodle Dictionary on the Console. Dictionary provides table descriptions, data lineage for
tables and columns and foreign key information. BI Developers should be familiar with
Caboodles dimensional data model and at least one area of healthcare reportings such as
revenue or clinical reporting.
Caboodle Administrators - ANShave access to all activities on the Caboodle Console.
Administrators monitor executions, troubleshoot work queue errors and establish system
level configurations.
Caboodle ETL Developers - ANScreate custom EPIC and n on Epic content for extraction
into the data warehouse, document their work in the dictionary editor and test their work
using the ETL tools available in the console. Custom development notes and documentation
relevant to report writers will be visible in the dictionary.
Why use Caboodle - ANSAccessibility, Efficiency and fewer tables and simpler joins.
SSIS package - ANSSQL Server Integration packages : Data is extracted from source
systems (Clarity) transformed in the staging database and presented for users in the
reporting database.
DMCs - ANSData Model Components
, Data Model Compenents - ANScollection of metadata tables that support the ETL process
and reporting views stored in the FullAccess schema.
DMC type and suffixes - ANSEach DMC gets a type and suffix. Dim for dimensions, Fact for
facts, Bridge for bridges, Datamart for data marts, AttributeValueDim for EAV tables, X for
custom tables
Caboodle Star Schema - ANSwhere one central fact table will join to many associated
lookup or dimension tables.
Dimensional Data Model - ANSThis structure intentionally makes some compromises to the
normalized data model used by Clarity in order to facilitate report writing. The trade off is that
it requires more complicated ETL process to maintain.
Caboodle consists of a reporting database and a staging database - ANS
dbo - ANSStaging database: import tables and mapping tables live here. Used by
administrators for moving data into Caboodle. Reporting Database: dbo schema stores
reporting data and acts as the data source for SlicerDicer. Caboodle Dictionary reflects the
contents of the dbo schema
EPIC - ANSStaging Database: Epic schema on the staging database contains the
_IdLookup tables, which map source IDs to system-generated Caboodle primary keys in the
reporting database. Reporting Database: Prior to Epic 2018 this schema stored the tables
used by the SlicerDicer patients data model.
FullAccess - ANSStaging Database: The FullAccess schema does not exist on the staging
database Reporting Database: The FullAccess schema houses view that timplify reporting.
FullAccess should be your default schema when reporting.
DMC - ANSData Model Components
Business Key - ANSIndentifier: combination of columns that identify records
Data Lineage - ANSA precise technical explanation of where data in a package is extracted
from in a source database.
Durable Key - ANSAn identifier for a record in Caboodle shared across rows for the same
record. Example a single patient record might have multiple rows associated with it in Patient
Dim. Each row has the same durablekey to make it easy to find all rows associated.
Foreign Key - ANSthe primary key for a row in a different able in Caboodle, used to link two
tables together.
Foreign keys have referential integrity - ANSForeign key columns never contain null or
unmatched values.
-1 foreign key value - ANSthe foreign key is unspecified in source system
