Today, businesses measure their success based on several KPIs. A scorecard is an enterprise tool for the evaluation and communication of strategic objectives and their KPIs. The Healthcare Scorecard enhances healthcare management by providing key performance indicators that enable healthcare organizations to effectively manage their organization performance by enabling them to:

Healthcare Scorecard works in conjunction with Scorecard to provide a current representation of how your healthcare organization is meeting its healthcare-centric objectives. Data flows through Scorecard based on a defined frequency. Transactional data is provided to the PeopleSoft EPM warehouses, where it is transformed using the Scorecard analysis tools. The system displays analysis results to users who can use this information to analyze or take actions as necessary. The analysis results are accessed using the company intranet or business home page.

Healthcare Scorecard supports the Plan to Produce, Target to Engage, and Request to Resolve business processes.

Healthcare Scorecard data tables reside in the PeopleSoft EPM database, which serves as a data repository that can include data from other PeopleSoft applications and other legacy systems. Healthcare Scorecard also takes advantage of the functionality of the Scorecard.

Healthcare Scorecard enables you to manage your healthcare business. It is composed of a set of predefined key performance indicators that provide executive and middle management with a summary of healthcare activities in your organization. The application provides metrics that are related to hospital staffing, surgery utilization, and materials-management contract compliance. These metrics enable your managers to increase capacity and minimize excess expenses. The scorecard also enables the CFO and department managers to manage to operational metrics such as average length of stay, case-mix index, and census levels.

A scorecard is the visual representation of the objectives that your organization is striving to achieve. Its foundation is a strategy tree that is made up of hierarchical nodes of strategy components.

Healthcare Scorecard delivers the HC_CFO, Healthcare CFO scorecard.

Strategy components are the elements that make up your strategy and are the nodes on your strategy tree or tables. Vision, strategic thrusts, and critical success factors are all strategy components, and represent the goals that your healthcare organization is trying to achieve. KPIs, which measure how well an organization is achieving those goals, are attached to scorecard strategy components.

The predefined data components that make up the Healthcare Scorecard are delivered at installation. After you install the database, setting up and accessing the Healthcare Scorecard involves setting up PeopleSoft EPM, populating the data warehouse with data, updating several components of the Scorecard, and populating the final reporting tables.

Note. Before you attempt to set up the Healthcare Scorecard, you should have installed the appropriate components using the installation documentation and moved the appropriate data components to your system database.

Each scorecard works with Scorecard to provide you with an up-to-date view of how your organization is meeting its healthcare objectives. Using this scorecard is optional. This table lists the field values for these scorecards:

A KPI defines the data value or calculation from the PeopleSoft EPM database that is evaluated to determine how well your organization is meeting its critical success factors.

Healthcare Scorecard delivers a set of preconfigured KPIs that provide your management with the tools it needs to analyze your healthcare operation against business objectives. PeopleSoft has developed these KPIs in conjunction with leading consultants, and they measure many factors including patient data, financial performance, and human resources data.

The KPI IDs of the delivered Healthcare Scorecard KPIs are delivered under the SHARE setID and use the following naming convention:

Details about the delivered KPIs are provided in the HCKPIS.PDF file that is located on the PeopleBooks CD. This file provides information about each of the delivered predefined KPIs through summary and detail tables. Use these tables to better understand Healthcare Scorecard calculations. You can also use the information in these tables as a basis for altering the scorecard to update KPIs and target rules.

All KPIs are stored in the enterprise data warehouse. PeopleSoft arranges this information by line of business (HR, Financials, Supply Chain, or CRM). This logical grouping is used for convenience and does not represent four separate warehouses. The Healthcare Scorecard spans all of the areas that are needed to provide a complete representation of the health of the organization.

Predefined KPIs are the basis for analysis within Healthcare Scorecard. You must understand the definition detail to understand what is being calculated in your scorecard results.

The delivered KPIs use the following sources: external data, financial data, human resources data, and supply chain data. The system also includes manual KPIs.

This section discusses:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicExternal Data

The KPIs that are listed in this section use data from external systems, such as Eclypsis TSI or McKesson Trendstar. You can configure the system to use data from such a system by creating an extract, transform and load (ETL) map to port the data from your system to the data warehouse tables that are used by these KPIs.

Note. You must configure your own ETL map for mapping this data into the data warehouse tables shown subsequently. For detailed information about how to create and use ETL maps, refer to the IBM WebSphere documentation.

The tables that you must populate are HC_EXT1_TABLE and HC_EXT2_TABLE.

In addition to calculated KPIs, the system provides manual KPIs with the Healthcare Scorecard. Manual KPIs do not use data that is derived from PeopleSoft EPM tables to determine their values; the actual data element is stored in the data warehouse. Manual KPIs are loaded into the warehouse using the Scorecard Manual KPI page. Both calculated and manual KPIs use target rules to determine their assessments, and the system can calculate and assess quarter-to-date and year-to-date totals, depending on the options that you establish.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up and Using Healthcare Scorecard

To use Healthcare Scorecard, perform the following tasks:

  1. Set up PeopleSoft EPM.

  2. Set up Scorecard tables.

    You are not required to set up these tables to implement PeopleSoft Healthcare Scorecard if you plan to use only the delivered Healthcare Scorecard KPIs. PeopleSoft delivers the metadata for these KPIs in the SHARE setID. However, if you plan to establish your own scorecards or KPIs, you must establish these tables.
