  1. Data Warehouse User GroupApril 25, 2013 • Infrastructure Upgrades • HB wRVU Correction • Apex AR Trends Cube Preview • Training / User Group Meeting Schedules

  2. Cognos Infrastructure Upgrades Why make the changes? • Issues with Cognos 8.4 performance • QS - Latency in retrieving large amounts of data • AS – Nested reports take a while to render • One errant user had the potential to impact everyone else • Increase in user base

  3. Cognos 8 Initial Environment

  4. Cognos 8 Upgraded Environment

  5. APEX-HB wRVU Correction Background Info • Pre-APEX: 3 and 7 split Many codes entered into TES “explode” and post to both billing systems: • 3  IDX  Pro component • 7  SMS  Tech component • APEX: PB and HB split The charge router does something similar. • Pro component  Routed to Resolute PB • Tech component  Routed to Resolute HB IMPORTANT - You only want to calculate wRVUs on the “Pro” portion of the split charge!

  6. APEX-HB wRVU Correction APEX: PB and HB split - How to we identify these split charges? • Original methodology – HB Modifiers • HB Modifiers, new with Apex • Increase the accuracy of wRVU values • In practice, HB modifiers inconsistent and “dirty” (ex: 26 and TC on same procedure) • Revised methodology – Claim Type of Procedure • In APEX-HB there is a “Claim Type” for each procedure (EAP) • Using this we can “weed out” the Tech components before take a look at the modifiers

  7. APEX-HB wRVU Correction Pro/Tech Flag (calculated field) • Pre-APEX Definition of “TECH” • Prefix = 7 or • GL Comp Type = T • APEX Definition of “TECH” • APEX-PB  Procedure (EAP) Claim Type Flag = 2 • APEX-HB  Procedure (EAP) Claim Type Flag = 2 AND Billing Category NOT IN (0,6) Added Billing Category Dimension for Clarification

  8. APEX-HB wRVU Correction Departmental Impact / Scope • Two cubes were affected • apex_utilization • apex_idx_sms_utilzation • Isolated to APEX-HB • Modest reduction in overall wRVUs • Some departments impacted more than others • The correction only represents 0.4% of the wRVUs that have been generated since the APEX launch

  9. APEX AR Trends Cube • Contains AR from APeX–PB only • Similar in structure to the IDX AR Trends Cube • Added Proc Category/CPT dimension • No drill through

  10. AR Trends – Quick Facts • Days in AR calculation (DAR) • Average Daily Charge = [Charges for 3 months ending current]/[Calendar Days in 3 months ending current] • DAR = [Month-end AR ]/[Average Daily Charge] • First two months of Apex (June 2012 and July 2012) the Average Daily Charge calculation used 1 and 2 months respectively • Use Calendar days • Aging buckets calculated using Charge Post Date vs AR Reporting Month

  11. APEX AR Trends Cube • DEMO

  12. What’s next? • An initial Apex Transaction Framework Package for Query Studio - the detailed reporting environment you currently have for IDX, where elements are organized neatly into logical folders (dates, patient info, ASA units, etc.) • Reimbursement Cube

  13. Upcoming Cognos Training • Next Cognos 8.4 Training scheduled for May 23nd and 24rd (Thursday and Friday). • Sign up deadline is May16 • Minimum of 3 people needed • We’re looking into recording and/or web-based options so that training can be referenced online. • 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: http://medgroup.ucsf.edu/data-warehouse/training-classes
