Ecomed Reporter
(ER) version 9.22 is a web application for browsing
reports created by Ecomed Analyzer (EA) version 9.22 and sorted by organization unit,
time period, reporting period and reporting group.
In
addition to browsing, Ecomed Reporter supports also printing, commenting,
converting to Excel and transferring to Ecomed Analyzer for detailed analyses.
Ecomed Reporter version 9.22 features the following changes over
version 9.14:
· New functionality:
o
Patient
Flow.
· Other improvements:
o
Excel
support update.
Depending
on your local configuration and whether you are using ER via intranet, extranet
or Internet, you may be prompted for user name and password that define and also
may limit which reports you have access to. Enter your login information and
click Login.
When you start the
application the report selection page opens.
On the left hand side of the screen you have the organization navigation tree. You can
expand (+) and/or collapse (-) different branches of the hierarchy and when you
select one unit by clicking on it, the reports for this unit are fetched to the
right hand side of the screen. A document icon is shown beside every unit that
already has reports. Note that if the icon isn’t present and the unit has
subunits (+ mark beside unit name), the subunits may have reports.
If configured, the organization can be changed via
the drop-down list on top of the organization tree.
Filters are shown only on the “KPI values and
comments” and “Reports” tabs. The filters affect only these tabs.
You can limit the time period of the fetched reports. Each report contains data from
a limited time period. ER retrieves the reports whose data is included as a
whole inside the given interval. For defining the time period
you can either enter the dates directly in the From-To fields, choose preset
time spans via the Time span drop-down
list to left from the date input fields or you can use calendar date pickers
beside each date input field. When using the calendar, first select the month
at the top of the calendar and after that the date to be inserted in the date
input field. Single arrows in the calendar move one month at a time and double
arrows move by quarter year.
Additionally, you can filter reports based on a Reporting period (year, month…). The Reporting
period drop-down list is visible only if there is more than one choice
available. Selecting for example month lists only reports, that have been
created based on monthly input datasets. Such reports do not include reference
values from the previous year.
The report list, located on the Reports tab, displays filtered reports arranged
under their reporting groups. If a report does not belong to a reporting group,
it is placed under a node called “Non-grouped”.
Direct editing (typing or using a date picker) of
the From date and To date fields does not update the
report list automatically but the Update
reports button has to be clicked to update the report list.
Report names are listed and time periods of the
reports are displayed as tool tips or in brackets depending on the
configuration. The tool tips appear when you hover the mouse over a name of a
report. The number of fetched reports is shown right above the report list.
If a report has additional filters set in EA, the names of the filters are shown in
parenthesis after the name of the report.
If a
report has comments, a balloon icon
is shown after the name of the report. When hovering cursor over the icon, a
panel with the comments is shown.
All possible reports are not normally created for
each organization unit. You can, however, add new reports by selecting the Order reports tab page. On this page you
have all possible reports and the ones, that are already subscribed, are
checked. You can check additional reports or uncheck existing reports to change
your organization unit’s list of subscribed reports per reporting period (yearly,
monthly etc.). After having made the selections click the “Subscribe” button
and the reports will be generated for your unit next time the reports are
updated – normally once a week or once a month.
The KPI values and comments tab displays KPI
values and comments of a selected unit.
KPI values are
displayed in a grid. Each KPI value row has a link to the report that the value
originates from. The filters affect the KPI values displayed.
Unit comments of the
selected unit are displayed below KPI values. If a unit has a static comment,
it is displayed first followed by periodical comments. Each periodical comment
is related to a specific comment period
that is comprised of a comment period type (i.e. Month) and a start and end
date. Only a comment related to the active comment period can be added or
edited, and only one comment period can be active at a time. The filters do not
affect the unit comments displayed.
Report comments of the
filtered reports are displayed on the Report comments tab with the number of
comments in parenthesis. The report comments are ordered descending by creation
time.
Key reports are
displayed on the Key reports tab. The filters, which are visible on the Reports
tab, don’t apply to key reports.
Clicking any report in the report list on the
Report Selection page opens it for browsing on the Report Browser page.
At the top of the page you see the name of the report in the drop-down
list, the description of the report
definition, the unit and its path selected on the Report Selection page,
reporting job specific comments. On
right there are the time frame and
the update date of the report. You can change the selected report with the
drop-down list instead of returning to the Report Selection page. The drop-down
list contains only the reports that fit the filter criteria selected on the
Report Selection page. You need to return to the Report Selection page if you
need to select another unit or change the filter criteria.
If there is batch report run or report specific
comments defined, they are displayed around the drop-down list – batch report run comments above and report comments below.
The report page includes always a tabular report and
optionally one or more graphs based on the report. The tabular view and each
graph are presented in separate tab pages.
You can use the
following functions to interact with the tabular
report.
·
Rows of a report can be expanded/collapsed by clicking the +/- signs on left.
·
Expanding/collapsing
whole levels can be done with the buttons above the grid.
·
If the report is very long – more than 256 rows – the
report is initially collapsed to the first level.
·
Hover the mouse above a column header to see the
longer description of the column, if defined.
·
Click on the column header for sorting the report based on that column. For numeric columns the
sort order is descending and for text and code columns, ascending. The next
click on the same column reverses this order. The third click restores the
original sort order.
·
The Ecomed
Analyzer icons allow you, should you have the privileges required, to open
the same report in Ecomed Analyzer application for drill-through and other
further analyses. The left EA icon opens the report in EA on your workstation
and the right one via remote desktop connection. Please refer to EA User’s
guide for details.

functions affect only the selected graph.
·
You can copy
the graph to clipboard by clicking it with right mouse button and selecting
Copy in your browser menu.
·
You can save
the graph in a file by clicking the save icon in the top left corner of the
graph. The save icon is visible when you hover the cursor over the graph.
The Printer icon opens the printing options
panel in which you can set the margins and the orientation
(portrait/landscape). After clicking the Print button, the actual page in
print-layout opens containing the content of the selected tab (tabular report or
graph). The state of the tabular data (expanding/collapsing and sort order)
will be forwarded to the print-layout.
You can print out the page by using the print
functions of your browser. It’s necessary to set the print orientation and
margins of the browser to match those selected in the print options panel to

filters, grouping columns and column template and then
click “Create report”.
After creation the report can be saved with the
buttons below the grid:
·

organization tree that is shown in the main page, except the tree is not
filtered but contains all the nodes of the tree. Selecting organization unit
will filter the patient flow show that only those episodes are taken that has
at least one service that matches to the selected organization unit. This
filter can be reset by using the browser’s refresh.
