This chapter contains the following topics:

Overview
Architecture
Reporting
Security

1.1 Overview

Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics (ORA) Release 1.0.1 is an analytical reporting application based on a predefined set of key performance indicators (KPIs), facts, and dimensions with support for predefined and custom reporting. ORA also functions as a decision support system to monitor process bottlenecks and compliance deviations.

ORA provides mechanisms to gain operational insights to evaluate efficiency and utilization of operating rooms and departments, and to identify corrective actions to address problems.

1.1.1 What Can I Do Using Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics?

ORA provides predefined analyses and supports the creation of custom analyses using key metrics addressing OR efficiency and utilization. With ORA, you can perform the following functions:

View predefined analytical analyses delivered with the application.
Rapidly create new analyses using the extensive predefined efficiency and volume based metrics related to operating room processes.

1.2 Architecture

Figure 1-1 The Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics Architecture

Description of "Figure 1-1 The Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics Architecture"

The ORA architecture includes the following principal components:

A data warehouse that consists of a set of data marts (facts and conformed dimensions), which model business processes important for Operating Room Analytics (ORA).
An Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE) repository file (RPD), which supplements the data warehouse with business logic such as hierarchies, derived measures, and user groups.
A predefined set of Oracle BI analyses, accessible through prebuilt interactive dashboards.
A predefined set of presentation catalogs, including a unique mix of operating room dimensions and measures, and allowing the creation of custom analyses and ad-hoc queries.

Note:

You need to implement ETL from source systems to data warehouse at customer site.

1.3 Reporting

ORA provides analyses for the following key functional areas:

Case and Procedure Volume
Operating Room Utilization
Operating Room Efficiency
Operating Room Schedules and Scheduling Efficiency
Volume, Utilization, and Efficiency Trends

Access to data is available for authorized personnel only constrained through user groups or roles.

The application has predefined dashboards, pages, and user roles. User roles have access to dashboards and pages as follows:

Note:

In the Table 1-1, x denotes that the user role has access to the dashboard while - denotes that the user role does not have access to the dashboard.

Calculations can be performed in analyses managed through OBIEE Answers. The OBIEE Answers Administrator is responsible for controlling what calculations are performed, and who can perform them. Only Administrator and Business Analyst user roles have access to OBIEE Answers.
