What is the difference between operational and analytical reports? -
CORRECT ANSWER -Operational reports are real-time reports needed by
end users to do their jobs. Analytical reports are over-time reports that show
long-term trends and data.
,Why should you use Clarity for analytical reporting needs? - CORRECT
ANSWER -Clarity 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? - CORRECT
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reports built from Clarity data will be out-of-date from the moment they're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.
You have a reporting need, and there is no pre-built application report to meet
it. Do you need to use Clarity to meet this need? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Not necessarily. Reporting Workbench can be used for many non-standard
reporting needs.
