This chapter provides overviews of Healthcare Scorecard, Healthcare Scorecard summary, and delivered key performance indicators (KPIs), lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set up and use Healthcare Scorecard.
Understanding Healthcare Scorecard
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:
Build a strong financial base.
Grow the targeted patient base.
Deliver cost-effective care.
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.

Integrations
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.

Scorecards and Strategy Components
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:
|
Scorecard ID |
HC_CFO |
|

You can modify the delivered scorecard to suit your implementation.

KPIs
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:
HC_EXT – KPIs using external data.
HC_FDB and HC_FMS – KPIs using financials data.
HC_HR – KPIs using human resources data.
HC_MAN – Manual KPIs to enter patient survey data.
HC_SCM – KPIs using supply chain data.

Batch Processes
You must run the following jobstreams to populate key tables:
KP_ANALYZE
This jobstream populates KP_KPI_CALC_F00 and KP_KPI_ASMT_F00. Run this jobstream to validate the KPI calculation rules, verify end values, and test the KPI assessment rules.
BC_ANALYZE
This jobstream populates KP_KPI_CALC_F00, KP_KPI_ASMT_F00 and BC_ASSESS_F00. Run this jobstream to generate the final scorecard assessments after you validate your setup (by running KP_ANALYZE). If you set up this job to run regularly, the KPI process can aggregate data month-to-month and year-to-date. You must run this process after you populate or update the PeopleSoft EPM tables (such as during the Extract Transform and Load process) to view current results for your healthcare scorecard.

Delivered KPIs
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:
External data
Manual KPIs

External 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.

Manual KPIs
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.

Processing KPIs and Scorecards
PrerequisitesYou must load the delivered KPIs that are required for Healthcare Scorecard by running a data mover script when you install the application. This is detailed in the installation instructions.
See The PeopleSoft EPM 9.1 Installation Guide on the PeopleSoft My Oracle Support website.
Setting Up and Using Healthcare ScorecardTo use Healthcare Scorecard, perform the following tasks:
Set up PeopleSoft EPM.
Define PeopleSoft EPM components, including but not limited to business rules, general options, business units, business models, scenarios, security, ledgers and templates, tablemaps, datamaps, filters, and constraints.
Extract, transform, and load data from source tables into the Operational Warehouse Staging tables.
Review data warehouse tables that are delivered with the system.
Run the ETL process to populate the data warehouse tables.
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.
Define your strategy, including the following tasks: create strategy trees and strategy components; set up strategy components and specify their assessment method; create the scorecard definition.
Prepare data that is required for KPIs including the following tasks: define the data from the PeopleSoft EPM database that is the basis for your data elements (data elements are used by KPIs to measure actual results); create calculation definitions on which to base a KPI; specify what type of activity should occur as a result of KPI assessment; establish actions to take as a result of KPI assessment (actions are made up of one or more activities); establish assessment definitions—when the target rule that uses this assessment evaluates as true, the image assigned appears on the scorecard.
Define KPIs, including calculation and assessment frequency, attachments, analysis paths, report attributes, and notes.
Establish the security groups for viewing KPIs and for KPI assessment.
Define assessments.
Define summary calendars.
Enter values for default targets that you use for any KPI dimension members.
Set up user profiles.
