Resurrecting? Reinvesting in BusinessObjects in order to gain additional tools to improve patient care outcomes.
Agenda Overview Meaningful Use? Phase 1: Reinvesting Phase 2: Migration Phase 3: Actionable BI Lessons Learned
Overview In 2013 healthcare organizations were required to implement Stage 2 of a regulatory requirement referred to as "Meaningful Use" Custom reporting solution required changes to meet requirement Electronic Health Record vendor, Epic, had recently updated their solution This put OHSU at a crossroads to make a decision: continue with custom, or adopt the vendor model
Reporting Content Available Vendor (Epic) 800+ Crystal Reports Many enabled for Epic-Crystal Integration Interactive with the Epic Hyperspace application Standard reports for Meaningful Use Stage 2 20+ Universes on the Epic Clarity database New Epic Cogito data warehouse and universes
Advantages of Adoption Reduce the cost of BI development Leverage industry standard best practices Less effort to interpret regulatory logic Integration between BusinessObjects and Epic Access, execute and display reports and dashboards directly in Epic Hyperspace.
The Integrated BI Landscape Hyperspace Epic Chronicles (Cache) Epic Application Reporting Tools Pre-generated External BI Cognos Web Epic ODS ETL Process Epic-Crystal Integration Interactive OHSUDW (Oracle) Epic Clarity (Oracle) Epic Cogito Data Warehouse (SQL Server) Epic Billing Cubes BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Web Intelligence
Meaningful Use?

Phase 2: Migration Crystal had been around a long time. Content and Security Analysis System Management Policy Soft Launch User Migration Solving Legacy Entanglements
Crystal had been around a long time.
Legacy Crystal Environment 100's of Folders, Many Named Similarly Thousands of Reports Created Over a 10+ Year Period Medical Group Custom Authentication Pathology Using Crystal as ETL Crystal System Legacy Obstetrics System Using Crystal Viewer Launched from a VB6 Application Research Department Intranet Page Using Open Document Links with Parameters 3 rd Party Credentialing Application with Direct Integration
Content Analysis Many reports and folders named similarly
Security Analysis
Formulating Solutions Collected audit information User logins Actual report use Used APOS to scan the security hierarchy Cross referenced use and security Identified new folder structure Determined new security setup
System Management License Management Design Standards Systems Management Content Management Development Life Cycle Security Framework
License Management All users now must be allocated a license from IT in order to access the system, benefits include: Eliminate excess spending Ability to negotiate the best licensing options Ensure license compliance Upgrades synchronized with the server environment Eliminate version incompatibilities
Content Management Relevant, Accurate and Timely Content (reports and dashboards, for example) are relevant, accurate and timely, and meet the needs of their respective business area Content Areas Reports and folder structures that are related to specific business area, business function or application Content Manager Each content area defined as a single business unit or a group of common functions/activities should have a Content Manager and/or Subject Matter Expert
Security Framework Organize (Folder Structure) Common Content Secure Content and Functionality (BI Tool Groups) BOBJ Content Subject Area - Consumer BOBJ Content Subject Area - User BOBJ Content Subject Area - Secured User BOBJ Content Subject Area - Super User Authorize Access (AD Groups provisioned via CARS) BI Role Z - Consumer BI Role Z - User Department Content BOBJ Department\Role - Consumer BOBJ Department\Role - User BOBJ Department\Role Secured User BOBJ Department\Role - SME BI Department A - Consumer BI Department A - User BI Department A - Secured User BI Department A - SME
System Development Life Cycle
Design Standards and Policies Implemented design standards for Crystal, Webi and Universe development Standards adhere to OHSU branding guide Organization best practices
Soft Launch Migrating Users Met with each department Reviewed content Discussed new process and procedures Purchased additional licenses Identified content management resources Scheduled migration Soft Launch Migrated each department individually over six weeks One on one training and assistance for SMEs
Solving Legacy Entanglements Custom Authentication Issues Modified BusinessObjects web tier Provider Billing - sensitive financial data Required row-level security Solution Created a business view to support dynamic parameters
Solving Legacy Entanglements Credentialing Application Issues Mission critical functionality Used to credential providers Periodic volume would overwhelm the system Solution Purchased additional licensing Segregated the environments
Solving Legacy Entanglements Legacy Obstetrics Application - STORC Issues Reports executed via VB6 application Use confirmed by audit data Legal retention period 20 years after last visit Solution Burst reports to pdf to be incorporated with imaging system
New Managed Environment
Phase 3: On-Demand Actionable BI Integrating BI with the EHR Rolling out additional content Training User Adoption
Actionable BI - Video
User Adoption Continuing to rollout additional content Universes for clinical subject areas Additional Crystal Reports Training WebIntelligence Analysis for OLAP Data mart context specific training
Lessons Learned Standard reports need adjustments for organization specific requirements Contact users early to discuss transition planning Identify legacy issues early and have multiple contingency plans Engage other IT teams early to resolve legacy issues Find use cases up front for embedded BI
