Ms Helen Rizzoli, Health Information Manager
The Scheduler in PowerPerformance Management has significantly simplified our data preparation for analysis. Each week, the Scheduler copies our database tables from our main hospital systems on Friday and processes the data over the weekend. Instead of facing many days of processing, I find myself ready to go straight into data analysis on Monday morning.
Previously, we processed our data every 6 months to report on the Cost Weight Study and on high level reports, and we spent 4 weeks each year doing that."
Now we report on a weekly basis and this is a HUGE improvement for us at St Vincent's. It significantly improves our ability to produce clinical costing information using extremely lean resources. Data is now more timely and year-to-date analysis has become a valuable tool.
