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? - Answer✔✔-
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from Clarity data will be out-of-date from the moment they're generated.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.

it. Do you need to use Clarity to meet this need? - Answer✔✔-Not necessarily.
Reporting Workbench can be used for many non-standard reporting needs.
