Which reporting tool can best be used to meet the reporting need
In general, Operational Reports share the following key
characteristics:
1. Time-sensitive
2. Relatively small
3. Easily accessible
* Actionable
____ _____ generally, put more emphasis on filtering out unnecessary

Operational reports
What is the difference between operational and analytical reports?
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?
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?
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reports built from Clarity data will be out-of-date from the moment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?
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.
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?
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.

These reports are integrated into Epic's applications as part of the

provide a similar look-and-feel to reports across applications.
