Data Warehouse User GroupSeptember 23, 2010 • Upcoming Changes to Cubes • Future Cubes
Changes to Existing cubes • Utilization • Addition of “PSA Dept” dimension • Listings for PSA Dept can currently be found under the “Div/PSA Dept/Campus Div/Cost Center” dimension, where it’s the level below Division. • New Dashboard reports created by medical group require PSA Dept to be a top level dimension. • Because it will be added below the existing dimension folders, the new addition should *NOT* create any problems for existing reports.
Changes to Existing cubes • Lipay_Reject • Addition of “Rej1 ETM Task Name” dimension • Groups the denials into those that require follow-up and those that don’t. • Because it will be added below the existing dimension folders, the new addition should *NOT* create any problems for existing reports.
Future Cubes • Charge Lag cube based on Transactions • Current Invoice_Lag cube calculates charge entry lag at the Invoice level and not for each Charge Line separately • Current methodology uses the 1st DOS entered on the first charge line of that Invoice – this works fine most of the time, but can be misleading when multiple Dates of Service are entered on one invoice, as the first DOS is typically the oldest • New cube attempts to replicate MGBS’ algorithm • Like MGBS’ reports, new cube will offer multiple and better ways to calculate “lag” • Receipt Lag: days between DOS and date of Receipt by billing agent (MGBS, PerSe) • Entry Lag: days between Receipt date and date batch was entered into TES • TES Lag: days suspended in TES before extracting to IDX; the difference between the TES entry date and the Invoice Creation date in IDX • Only IDX records are included in the cube, as most of the dates are not available from SMS
Future Cubes • Charges “stuck” in TES at Month End • Snapshot of unique charges in “Edit” status at month end • Charge lines are subject to multiple edits, but only Unique Charges will be captured in the cube – i.e. Edits will not be a dimension • Purpose of the cube is to allow us to view Trends • Similar to AR Trends in that we’re attempting to show a Snapshot of TES Edits in time; i.e. on the last day of the month • Also similar to AR Trends cube in that the source table used to create it is of limited value as a stand-alone table • *NOTE* a general cleanup of TES was done in early August after it was confirmed that many edits had not been captured. • As a result, TES Edits were rebuilt from scratch beginning with all edit records which existed in the system on 7/1/2009. Every nightly incremental since then has been rerun.
Upcoming Cognos Training • Next Cognos Training scheduled for October 21st and 22nd (Thursday and Friday). • Sign up deadline is October 14 • Schedule for CY 2011 is not yet finalized • Latest Training Schedule can always be accessed by clicking on the “training and class information” link from the main data warehouse page, or by going to https://www.intranet.medschool.ucsf.edu/medgroup/private/dwh/training.aspx
