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. - ANSWER- Caché
Analytical reports generally share the following characteristics: -
ANSWER- 1. 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. - ANSWER- Comprehensive
Which Analytical report characteristic is described below...
,2|Page
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. - ANSWER- Summarized
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. - ANSWER-
Standardized
When faced with an analytical reporting need, there's generally one tool
of choice: - ANSWER- Clarity
_____ is a tool that extracts data from your Chronicles production
system, transforms it into a relational format, and loads it onto a separate
reporting server - ANSWER- Clarity
Consider the example reporting request:
Total number of appointments scheduled in each of your clinics over the
last year, broken down by clinic and showing the average length of each
clinic's appointments
,3|Page
You might try to attack this reporting need using the operational
reporting tools discussed above, but you'd likely run into two problems:
- ANSWER- Performance - over a year's worth of data /a significant
drain on system resources
Flexibility - total number and average length of appointments in each
clinic. Operational reports generally do not display summary
information.
Name the advantages to meeting an analytical need with Clarity -
ANSWER- Performance
If you report on Clarity data rather than production data, running your
report will not impact your end users in production. This means you can
run reports of arbitrarily large size without any problems (other than
slowing down other Clarity reports running at the same time).
Flexibility
Since Clarity data is in an industry-standard format, you can access it
using industry-standard tools such as Crystal Reports. These tools
generally support a wide range of calculation, formatting and
summarization tools.
Since your Clarity server runs industry-standard database software
(Oracle, MS-SQL Server, or Teradata), you can load data from your
Clarity database into a ____ _____ along with your non epic data. -
ANSWER- data warehouse

If your report needs large quantities of data, complex mathematics or
summarization, or data integration with other systems, then _____ is
your tool - ANSWER- Clarity
Take the following example of a report that should not be attempted
using Clarity:
Currently admitted patients requiring a new IV within the next two
hours. A user should be able to jump from a patient shown on this report
to the patient's chart.
If you tried to meet this reporting need with Clarity, you would quickly
run into two deal-breakers: - ANSWER- Real-Time Data
Clarity extracts data from production on a daily, weekly, or even less-
often basis. Clarity data should always be assumed to be at least 24
hours out of date.
Clarity reports are often delivered via email or an external reporting
portal. The reports are not going to be as integrated into end-users'
workflows as, for example, Application Reports.
You may find a reporting need that requires real-time data and large
quantities of it. Once you've established that the reporting need really
does require real-time data, how should you find a way to meet the
need? - ANSWER- Use an operational tool by breaking the report down
into several smaller reports that can be run at different times. Since
Clarity data is not extracted in real-time, the need for real-time data
precludes the use of Clarity.
