Page 6: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Overview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization in a concise, abbreviated format via a view. A dashboard view can contain one or more different modules of information. You can use each view to provide actionable information for executives, other departments, or even peers.

The Dashboard contains several predefined modules that you can customize to create Infection Report type of views.

These predefined modules are easy to customize and arrange into views that you can immediately begin to use as soon as data begins to flow into your system. The Dashboard also contains a template view in the View library that you can copy and use to see how the modules work.

This example shows a view that you could create.

This section includes the following information:

• “Understand the Dashboard Page/Panel” on page 7 • “Understand Dashboard Views” on page 7 • “Understand Dashboard Modules” on page 8

Dashboard User Guide Page 6 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 7: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Understand the Dashboard Page/Panel When you first access the Dashboard page from the Table of Contents, you see the Dashboard page containing the Dashboard panel without any views selected.

The Dashboard page has one panel.

You can use this page to access previously defined views. If you have the appropriate rights, you can create and manage views for yourself and other users.

Understand Dashboard Views A Dashboard view is a view that contains one or more modules of data that is displayed in a graphic format. A view can contain up to twelve modules. The data within these modules can be similar or very different.

This example shows a view that contains four types of Infection Report modules. The first module contains Device Associated Infection rates. The second module contains Hospital Associated Infection events that are related to surgery. The third module contains Days Since Last Infection data, and the fourth module contains Notifiable Disease Report data.

Dashboard User Guide Page 7 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 8: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

If you have permissions needed to manage views, you can add more modules to a view, remove modules, or change the order in which the modules display in a view.

For procedures on creating and managing modules within a view, see "Work with Dashboard Views" on page 11.

Understand Dashboard Modules A Dashboard module is a self-contained component of a specific set of data presented in a graphical format. Each module is positioned within a view. You can modify each type of module to contain specific data for the institution, locations, and date ranges you need. You can also change the module’s size and color to meet your specific needs.

Several controls are available to assist you in customizing a module.

For procedures on creating and managing modules within a view, see "Work with Dashboard Views" on page 11 and "Manage Dashboard Views" on page 98.

Page 9: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Understand Access to Locked Data When security settings have been set on an institution, unit, or patient, you might not be able to see the data or access the details of the data from which you have been locked.

This example shows how the module displays to a user that cannot view data from the locked UMC institution verses how it displays for a user that has a key to view the data from the locked institution.

If users that have restricted access to particular data and they exports this module’s data to Excel, the detailed data that they are restricted from viewing will also be unavailable in the Excel file.

If users that have restricted access to particular data and they print a view, the data will also be restricted from their print out.

If users that have restricted access to particular data and they drill down to the data, the data they are restricted from view will not be available.

Dashboard User Guide Page 9 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 10: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

This example shows how a user that has been restricted from viewing the State institution data cannot drill down to its data as well.

They would also be restricted from viewing a particular unit or patient’s data if this information was locked.

Page 11: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Work with Dashboard Views In the Dashboard page, you can create as many views as you desire to give others quick access to important data they might need. Each view you create can contain up to twelve modules. A Dashboard template view is available in the TheraDoc® application. This template is already populated with several modules. You can use this view as is, modify it to meet the needs of your organization, hide it, or delete it.

Before you create any new views, we recommend looking at the modules inside of this Dashboard template view. By examining their settings, you can get a feel for the type of setting used to create each module and how the modules work. You can save this view with another name and customize it to meet your needs or use it to complete practice exercises.

This section includes instructions for the following tasks:

• “Create or Change Views” on page 11 • “Add One or More Modules to a View” on page 13 • “Specify Criteria for a Module” on page 16

“Select the Module Type” on page 18 “Specify Data Criteria for a Series” on page 37 “Specify Display Criteria for a Series” on page 67 “Specify Module Display Criteria” on page 75 “Add or Copy a Series in a Module” on page 86 “Delete a Series in a Module” on page 87

• “Preview a Module” on page 89 • “View a Summary of Settings for a Module” on page 90 • “Copy a Module” on page 91 • “Update a Module in a View” on page 92 • “Move a Module in a View” on page 93 • “Delete a Module” on page 95 • “Troubleshoot a Module Error” on page 96 • “Save a View” on page 97

Before performing tasks in this section, make sure you have completed the prerequisites specified in "Prerequisites for Using the Dashboard Panel" on page 107.

Create or Change Views In most cases, you will probably create your views from a preconfigured or previously saved view. This saves you time in developing Dashboard views. You might also want to create your own customized views without basing it on any of the predefined or previously save views. Finally, you might have a previously saved view that you just need to modify.

This procedure specifies the various steps needed to do any of these tasks.

To create or change a Dashboard view:

1 In the Table of Contents (TOC), select Dashboard.

2 Depending on the task you are performing, do one of the following steps:

2.1 If you are creating a new custom view, click Add Module and continue with Step 3 on page 13.

2.2 If you are creating a new view based on a preconfigured or previously saved view, select the view you want to base your new view on in the View drop-down list and do the following:

11 If desired, preview the module.

For procedures, see “Preview a Module” on page 89.

You can preview the module at any time during this procedure to help you see what you need to change. Creating a module is an iterative process. We recommend always previewing the module before you add it to a view.

12 Make any additional changes to the module that you want to make by repeating Steps 5 through 11 as applicable.

13 If you decide that you do not want to add the module to the view, click the Module: Cancel button. When the pop-up displays to confirm your action, click OK.

14 When the module graph displays as desired, add the module to the view by clicking the Module: Add button.

You can add the module to the view at any time; however, after you do, you must edit the module’s settings to make changes to it. Then, you update the module in the view after making changes. For procedures, see “Update a Module in a View” on page 92.

15 Save the view.

For procedures, see “Save a View” on page 97.

You can wait until you have added all the modules for the view; however, to ensure that do not lose your work, we recommend saving the view after adding each module.

16 If needed, add additional modules to the view by repeating Steps 1 through 15 or by copying an existing module and make changes to suit your needs. For procedures on copying a module, see “Copy a Module” on page 91.

17 Resave the view as needed.

Specify Criteria for a Module When you first add a module to a view, the module’s criteria fields display. Each module type has default criteria specified.

This example shows the default settings for the Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module.

Dashboard User Guide Page 16 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 17: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

You can preview the module immediately to see the graph that it displays with the existing data in your system.

You can then customize the module to fit your needs by specifying the necessary criteria for the data series and the module display. You can also add additional data series for your module.

While creating or editing a module, you can view a summary of the module’s settings to see what is set by default, the settings you have currently set, or compare settings for different data series.

The “Select the Module Type” section on page 18 lists the types of modules along with the available and the type of criteria you need to define for each module.

After you select a module type, you need to specify three categories of criteria including Series Data criteria, Series Display criteria, and Module Display criteria.

The following sections contain the procedures for specifying each type of criteria for a module.

• “Specify Data Criteria for a Series” on page 37 • “Specify Display Criteria for a Series” on page 67 • “Specify Module Display Criteria” on page 75

Page 20: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Specify NHSN Device SIR Module Criteria You can use these criteria to create a report module that displays Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) reports for device associated infections. These criteria compare the actual number of Hospital Associated Infections (HAI) with the predicted number of infections based on the NHSN mean for the specified device and NHSN location.

The CLABSI SIR lets you summarize your data from more than a single location, adjusting for differences in the incidence of infection among the location types. SIR might provide an easier measure to discuss among internal and external stakeholders in your organization.

A module created with the NHSN Device SIR Module type is shown in this example:

IMPORTANT: A SIR is calculated only when the number of expected HAIs is ≥ 1. When the number of HAIs is <1, this indicates that, based on the NHSN aggregates rates, the central line-day count in your facility or location is too low to calculate a precise SIR and comparative statistics. When this is the case, you might want to group your SIRs by a longer time period, such as a year.

Dashboard User Guide Page 20 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 21: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

If the expected number of infections is less than one, N/A is displayed in the calculation table and the value on the graph is plotted as zero as shown in this example.

Use the information in the following tables to learn which criteria are available for this module and access links to a description and procedures for each specific type of criteria.

Specify Data Criteria for a Series Data points are individual values plotted in a graph that are represented by bars, lines, dots, or various other shapes called data markers. Data markers of the same color constitute a data series in your graph.

When you first add a module to a view, the Series 1 criteria field is displayed. The first series of data you specify is your Primary data series. The primary data series is important because you define the Date Criteria and Date Aggregation on the primary data series and that date criteria is applied to all other data series. The reason you can have only one Primary Data series is because your graph can only have one date series. For this reason, you cannot delete the Primary data series.

IMPORTANT: Depending on the type of your module, different data series options will be available. You can plot one or more data series in a graph or table. In most modules, you can add up to 10 data series. In the Notifiable Diseases type module, you can add up to 20 data series.

This example shows the Primary Series data criteria for the Surgery Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmarks module.

Dashboard User Guide Page 37 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 38: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

You can use these data criteria options to change the content of the related data points that are plotted in a graph or table in a module.

Specify Label Criteria for a Series The Series label should describe the data that you are specifying for each specific data series. In some cases, this Series label will be displayed as your Y axis specific data labels and will also display in your graph legend. If you have a table in your module, the Series label also displays as the name for each row. If there is only one data series in the module, the label will not display in the legend.

For instance, this Days Since Last Infection module contains four series of data shown in this example. The Data Series labels include CLABSI, VRE, SSI, and CDI. The labels display in a legend and as names for each row on the data table below the graph.

To specify the label criteria, type a label in the Series Label text entry field.

This field is limited to 30 characters.

Specify Date Criteria for a Series When you first create a module, most modules require that you specify Date criteria. By default, the Date criteria are set to Infection for the last calendar 6 months. The Date criteria specified for Series 1, or the Primary series, must be the same for all series you specify in the module. Therefore, after you specify the Date criteria for the first series, this field is disabled for all additional series that you add to the module. If you need to change the Date criteria while defining the module, you must change it in the Primary series.

This example shows the Date criteria field for the Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmarks module.

Dashboard User Guide Page 39 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 40: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Modules that include these Date criteria are:

• Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark • General Infection Reports • NHSN Device SIR • Notifiable Disease Reports • Medication Utilization - DOT Reports Module

This example shows the Date criteria field for the Surgery Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmarks module. You can select whether the date specified is the Infection date or the Surgery date.

Modules that include this Date criteria are:

• Surgery Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark • Post Procedure Pneumonia w/ NHSN Benchmark • General Surgical Reports

To change the Date criteria settings:

1 If necessary, leave the Infection Date option selected or select the Surgery Date option.

• Infection Date: displays data associated with the documented Infection date. • Surgery Date: displays data associated with the linked Surgery date in the infection

documentation depending on whether you report Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) based on the date of the surgery versus based on the date the infection was detected.

2 In the Date Criteria drop-drop list, select one of the following options:

The following table shows the Data Criteria options.

Specify Device Type/ NHSN Location Type for a Series Device Types / NHSN Location Type criteria lets you specify which combination of device type data and NHSN Location Type data you want in your module. By default, Central Line Associated BSI rate is the data type specified.

The three options available are the traditional device type rate reports that you might benchmark with National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) along with newer ratio type of reports that you might also want to benchmark with NHSN.

This example shows the Device Type / NHSN Location Type criteria field in a module with its drop-down list options.

The only module that includes this Device Type/NHSN Location Type criterion is the NHSN Device SIR module.

To select a different type of device data, select a different option from the Device Types / NHSN Location Type drop-down list.

After selecting a Device type, you can make additional selections to refine the data displayed in your module.

There are several options because BSI data is stratified differently for a NICU (central line versus umbilical) and for Specialty Care Area (SCA) (permanent versus temporary).

For Central Line associated Device types, you can also limit the data to one or more Benchmark types for your report. By default, data for all NHSN Location types and All Birth Weight categories for each of the applicable Benchmarks are included. However, if desired, you can select one or more particular NHSN Location types to include in the report. You can also limit the data to one or more Birth Weight Category stratifications for the NICU Benchmark types.

Dashboard User Guide Page 43 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 44: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

For birth weight data to be available to the SIR module in Dashboard reports, birth weight data must be specified for each NICU patient. Birth weight category information might be populated from your ADT interface, or you can specify the birth weight or birth weight category by opening the Workbench in the Infection Control Assistant™ and navigating to the Patient Data Review section. For detailed instructions, see “Add Birth Weight Details to a Patient’s Record” in the Infection Control Assistant User Guide.

This example shows the additional CLABSI data options for making these choices. By default the CLABSI (not NICU or SCA) NHSN Benchmark Type is included in a Central Line-Associated BSI Device Type module.

This means that you can create different SIR report modules based on a particular NHSN Benchmark type, NHSN Location Type; and, if applicable, stratify the data by one or more birth weight categories.

For example, you can create a report module that has different benchmarks for NICU CLABSI and NICU Umbilical stratified by birth weight.

IMPORTANT: SIR can only be calculated for locations that have an NHSN benchmark. Therefore, if a location is not mapped to an NHSN location, it will not have NHSN benchmark data. If you want to include data for your entire organization in this report module, you must have each location mapped to an NHSN location.

To map a location to an NHSN location:

1 Click the blue Access Location Manager link.

2 In the Location Manager, edit the applicable locations to configure their correct mapping to an NHSN Benchmark Code.

2.1 Locate the desired location, and then click the Edit link associated with that location.

2.2 Select the appropriate NHSN Benchmark code for that particular location.

2.3 Click Save > OK.

2.4 Repeat Steps 2.1 through 2.3 for each location you want to configure.

3 When you are finished editing the locations in Location Manager, click the blue Reload App Setting link to make your changes available to the Dashboard panel and other pages within the TheraDoc application and close the Location Manager.

4 Close the Dashboard module and reopen it to see the new NHSN locations.

For each of these Device Type options, you can report on all institutions and locations or concentrate on one or more specific institutions and locations. By default, all institutions and locations are selected.

The drop-down list contains benchmarks from the NHSN report issued December 2009 that contains benchmark data from 2006 through 2008. More recent NHSN benchmarks published since that report are also available to provide more precise benchmarking options.

This example shows the NHSN Benchmark Report option available in the NHSN SIR module.

The only module that includes this NHSN Location Type criterion is the NHSN Device SIR module.

1. To specify which report to use, select an option in the NHSN Benchmark Report drop-down list.

Specify NHSN Benchmark Criteria for a Series The NHSN Benchmark criterion lets you select an NHSN benchmark that you have mapped in the TheraDoc application for your module. In this criterion, only NHSN benchmark locations are available for selection because it would not make sense to select non-NHSN Benchmark locations to compare against NHSN benchmarks. For example, if you are creating a report module that is going to display data that compare infections for two different ICU units, then you can select this option.

If necessary and if you have rights, you can edit the NHSN Benchmark mappings in Location Manager to add additional NHSN locations.

This example shows the NHSN Benchmark criteria field in a module with its drop-down list options. The default options selected and the options available are dependent on the NHSN Benchmarks mappings at your site.

Specify an NHSN Procedure Code and Risk Index Category for a Series By default when you create a module that has NHSN Procedure Code and Risk Index Category criteria, no code or category is selected. Therefore, leaving the setting at the default, displays data for all procedures. When you want to include data for a specific code only, you can specify which code along with which Risk Index Categories you want to include.

This example shows the NHSN Procedure Code and Risk Index Category criteria field in a module with its drop-down lists.

If you have a Surgery interface to the TheraDoc application, you can use procedures as your denominator. The NHSN code in the denominator will then be matched with your selected NHSN code in the numerator. However, the NHSN Surgical Code value is based on how you documented the SSI (not the NHSN code in your denominator).

If you want to benchmark with NHSN, you must select a Risk Index category because NHSN benchmarks are divided by their risk indexes.

The only module that includes these NHSN Procedure Code and Risk Index Category criteria is the Surgery Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module.

Dashboard User Guide Page 48 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Specify Display Criteria for a Series After specifying the data criteria for a series, you can accept the default display criteria or change them.

By default all Series Display Options are hidden. After you show them, the system retains your last Show or Hide setting for these options in the module.

To display or hide the Series Display options, click the blue Series Display Option link.

This example shows the default blue Series Display Options link with the contents displayed in a Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module.

Each data series in a graph should be assigned a unique color or pattern and is represented in the graph legend.

Use the procedures in the following sections as applicable for each series in the module.

• “Specify Shape Display Criteria for a Series” on page 68 • “Specify Color Display Criteria for a Series” on page 70 • “Specify NHSN Benchmark Display Criteria for a Series” on page 70 • “Specify Plot Series On Display Criteria for a Series” on page 74

Dashboard User Guide Page 67 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 68: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Specify Shape Display Criteria for a Series By default, the bar shape is specified for most series. The default Series shape for the Days Since Last Infection module is HorizontalBar rather than Bar.

This example shows the Series Shape criteria field in a Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module:

For each series you can use the default shape setting or change it. In most cases, you might want to keep the same Series shape settings for each series within a module. However, it is not required.

IMPORTANT: If you mix Series shapes, some data might be hidden behind the other data shown depending on your data shapes used for each series, the order in which you specify the series, and Module Bar Graph options. You cannot mix Pie or HorizontalBar options with other shape options. If any of the series shapes are Pie, all series data displays in a Pie shape regardless of other shape choices made. If any of the shapes are Horizontal Bar, this shape changes the orientation of the display and does not mix with the other shape options.

To change this option from the default, select a different option from the Series Shape drop-down list.

If you want to mix shapes, such as Line, Bar, and Area, the content is layered starting with Series 1, then 2, and 3 and so forth. So, to ensure that all content in the graph is visible, select the smaller shapes for content in the first or second series.

This example shows how the same data is displayed with different Series Shape options. Module 1 has the smaller data point with the smaller shapes specified in Series 1. When you assign larger data points and a larger shape to Series 1, a lot of the data is covered as shown in Module 2. Module 3 shows that when any of the Series shape is Pie, all series are displayed as Pie.

Dashboard User Guide Page 68 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 69: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

This example shows how the same data is displayed with different Series Shape and Module Bar Graph options. Module 4 shows how applying a Bar Graph Stacked option does not enhance the display when the Series Shapes are different. Modules 5 through 7 show how the different Module Bar Graph options affect the display when all the Series shapes are Bar.

A graphic example of each option is shown in the following table.

Specify Color Display Criteria for a Series The Color display options let you define the color in which that series data displays.

By default, the default color for the first Series shape is Red.

When you add an additional series, the system automatically selects the next color in the Series Color option list, working down from the top of the list. For example, Series 1, red; Series 2, blue, Series 3, green; Series 4, yellow.

When you copy a series, the new series automatically keeps the same color as the series from which it was copied; therefore, you need to change the color in the new series.

This example shows the Series Color criteria field in a Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module:

To change this option from the default or currently assigned color, select a different option from the Series Color drop-down list.

Specify NHSN Benchmark Display Criteria for a Series Three modules have National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) benchmark criteria included as part of their criteria. The options in this criteria let you compare your site’s infection rates with the infection rates collected by NHSN.

If an NHSN benchmark does not exist for the selected data element, an NHSN benchmark will not display on the graph, table, or legend.

This example shows the default settings and options for the Surgery Associated Infection w/NHSN Benchmark and Post Procedure Pneumonia w/NHSN Benchmark modules. Only the most recent NHSN benchmarks from the December 2009 publication are displayed:

Dashboard User Guide Page 70 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 71: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

This example shows the default settings and options for the Device Associated Infection w/NHSN Benchmark modules:

To change the settings from the default or currently assigned settings:

1 If available and desired, select a different option than the default from the Report drop-down list.

2 Add the Pooled mean or one or more percentile options by selecting the applicable options in the NHSN Benchmark criteria field.

When the NHSN Pooled Mean option is selected, the NHSN pooled benchmarks are shown against the data in the graph and in the table as shown in this example.

Dashboard User Guide Page 71 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 72: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

When the 25% NHSN Percentile option is selected, the NHSN 25% Percentile benchmark displays next to the calculated results in the graph as shown in this example.

3 If you need to remove one or more percentiles from the graph, deselect that percentile.

4 From the Report drop-down list, select which NHSN report to use for obtaining NHSN benchmark data.

5 If you want to add a Z-test comparison to the report, select the Compare to NHSN Pooled mean using Z-test option.

For the NHSN Pooled Mean Using Z-test option to be enabled for selection, the Pooled Mean option must be selected.

Using this Compare to NHSN Pooled mean using Z-test option lets you compare aggregated values to NHSN benchmarks. A Z-test can be calculated on the difference between the two metrics to determine significance. Z-score and P-value are only calculated when the denominator is greater than 19 and the numerator is greater than zero.

Specify Plot Series On Display Criteria for a Series The Plot Series On display criteria lets you specify whether you want the data plotted on the left side or the right side.

By default the data is plotted with the primary axis is on the left, Y-axis as shown in this example.

If you want to add a secondary axis, the data is plotted on the secondary, right Y-axis. Using a dual axis lets you compare two different types of data as shown in this example.

This example shows the default criteria in the Plot Series On criteria field:

To change these settings from the default or currently assigned settings:

1 If needed, change the series data to plot on the Secondary Axis by selecting the Secondary Axis option.

The data values for that series displays on the right side of the graph.

IMPORTANT: If the Display shape for all series is Bar, the graph points for the Secondary Axis data might be stacked and/or hidden.

1.1 Make sure all the Primary Axis (left side) Series shapes are the same but different than the Secondary axis series shapes.

1.2 Make sure all the Secondary Axis (right side) Series shapes are the same but different than the Primary axis (left side) series shapes.

Dashboard User Guide Page 74 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 75: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

These examples show how the same data is plotted differently on the graph depending on how the secondary axis and series shapes and colors are changed.

In Module 2, the: • Primary Series and Series 3 Shape is Line • Secondary axis Series 2 and 4 shapes are Bar.

Result: UTI data point is hidden.

In Module 3, the: • All Series shapes are Bar • Color changed on all series

Result: All data points are visible and easy to read.

In Module 4, the: • All Series shapes are Lines

Result: UTI data point is hidden.

Specify Module Display Criteria When creating a module, default options are preselected so you can produce a graph quickly without changing any of the settings. However, as you fine tune your Dashboard view, you will probably want to change several settings, such as changing the Display type, adding X and Y Axis labels, or adding Benchmark labels. The Module Display options apply to the entire module.

By default all Module Display Options are hidden. After you show them, the system retains your last Show or Hide setting for the module.

To display or hide the Module Display options, click the blue Module Display Options link.

This example shows the Display Type criteria field in a Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module:

To change the module’s display type, select a different option from the Display Type drop-down list.

In a module with a lot of data series, such as Notifiable Diseases, you might want to display the module as a table rather than a graph as shown in this example.

Dashboard User Guide Page 77 of 107 Premier, Inc.

Page 78: Dashboard User GuideOverview for the Dashboard Panel Dashboard is a panel in the TheraDoc® application that you can use to provide important information to people in your organization

Specify Bar Graph Options Module Display Criteria The Bar Graph criteria let you select how the bars will display in the graph. The default setting is Cluster.

This example shows the default Bar Graph criteria field in a Device Associated Infection w/ NHSN Benchmark module:

IMPORTANT: When selecting any Bar Graph option other than Cluster, only data derived from data series will be displayed on the graph. No benchmarking data will be displayed on the graph.

To change this option from the default or currently assigned bar type, select a different option from the Bar Graph drop-down list.

The following table lists each option, tells the purpose of the option, and shows an example of each selection.

4.2 In the Numerator 1: text entry field, type a value for your numerator.

4.3 In the Denominator 1: text entry field, type a value for your denominator.

Keep in mind that when you are configuring your numerator and denominator values, consider the multiplier settings that you have configured in the series data and apply that multiplier to the numerator. For example, 3 (1), 300 (100), 3000 (1000).

5 If desired, add a second benchmark and label or Z-test parameters by repeating Steps 1 through 4 in this procedure using the Label 2 and Value 2 text entry fields or Z-test options in the Benchmark 2 field.

IMPORTANT: If you specify a Control limit in a Custom benchmark, you should not also specify a Standard Deviation for an Internal benchmark in the same module because they both display as a green, shaded region on the graph. If you specify both, only Custom benchmark Control limits will display.

6 If needed, add Control Limits to the graph.

6.1 In the Control Limit Label text entry field, type a label that identifies the value as a control limit.

6.2 In the Custom Upper Control Limit text entry field, type a value that represents the desired upper control limit for the presented data.

6.3 In the Custom Lower Control Limit text entry field, type a value that represents the desired lower control limit for the presented data.

Specify Internal Benchmark Module Display Criteria The Internal Benchmarking criteria let you compare the data from one series to the other series in the module. By default, no benchmarks are included in the graph.

This example shows the default Internal Benchmark criteria field in a module:

To add an internal benchmark to the graph:

1 If necessary, show the Internal Benchmark Options controls by clicking the blue Internal Benchmarking Options link.

2 Select the series name that you want to be your benchmark from the Compute Pooled Mean from Series drop-down list.

3 In the Benchmark Label text entry field, type a label for the benchmark.

4 Specify the Data Range criteria.

These Date Range controls work the same way as the Date Criteria for a Series criteria controls. For procedures on using these controls, see “Specify Date Criteria for a Series” on page 39.

IMPORTANT: If you specify a Control limit in a Custom benchmark, you should not also specify a Standard Deviation for an Internal benchmark in the same module because they both display as a green, shaded region on the graph. If you specify both, only Custom benchmark Control limits will display.

5 If needed, select a value in the Standard Deviation drop-down list.

6 When you do not want to display the data for the series that is the benchmark, select the Do Not Display Data from the Series option.

Add or Copy a Series in a Module You can add or copy a series in a module to add additional data to your module. When you add a series, all the default settings for that type of module are included. When you copy a series, all the data that you specified in the currently selected series is copied to the new series in the module. Then you can change the title and other settings as needed while keeping the other settings you previously specified.

This example shows a module with the Series: Add and Series: Copy buttons activated and Series: Delete button deactivated. The Series: Delete button is deactivated because you cannot delete the first (primary) series in a module.

To add or copy a series in a module:

1 If needed, add a new series to the module that contains all the default settings for a series in the module by clicking the Series: Add button.

The new series is added to the module containing all the default settings. The title is named the next number of series and the series color is the next is the list of colors as shown in this example.

Notice how the currently selected series criteria screen is displayed in green. The unselected series 1 tab now displays in blue. This change in color is to help you identify which series of data you are working with.

Perform Additional View Management Tasks While working with Dashboard views, you can accomplish all the same tasks that you can perform with views on other application pages; tasks such as sharing the view with other users, hiding or unhiding a view, or deleting a view.

The following table describes the tasks you can perform with Dashboard views and links to the procedures in the View Manager User Guide. The View Manager User Guide uses the Alert Review panel as an example so there are a few differences in the procedures that you might notice. However, for the most part, the functionality is the same in Dashboard as it is in other pages of the application.

Prerequisites for Using the Dashboard Panel Before you can perform the tasks mentioned in this document, make sure you have completed the required prerequisites for those tasks.

This section includes the following information:

• "Add the Dashboard Page to Your Layout" on page 107 • "Understand Global Concepts and Procedures" on page 107 • "Report on Surgical Surveillance" on page 107 • "Configure your eMAR Interface" on page 107

Add the Dashboard Page to Your Layout The Dashboard page might not be assigned to any default user groups; so even if you have access to the panel, you might need to add this page to your TheraDoc® table of contents.

For procedures on adding a page to your Table of Contents, see “Add a Page to the Table of Contents” in the Global Concepts and Procedures User Guide in the online help.

Understand Global Concepts and Procedures Before creating, editing, sharing, or using Dashboard views, you need a general understanding of how the TheraDoc application works. To gain this understanding, see the Global Concepts and Procedures User Guide in the online help.

Report on Surgical Surveillance To be able to perform surgical surveillance using the Surgery Surveillance context of the Infection Control Assistant™ (ICA™) or create reports with procedures as your denominator, your organization must have a Surgical interface to the TheraDoc application. When you want to the system calculate an NHSN risk indexes in reports, your organization’s procedure codes must be mapped to the NHSN codes. If you are unsure whether the TheraDoc application has been set up to receive surgical information or whether procedure codes are mapped properly, contact your TheraDoc representative.

Configure your eMAR Interface The Medication Utilization - DOT Reports module for this panel require data from an Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) or Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) system. This system must have an interface that is configured to interact with the TheraDoc application. If your organization needs an interface from your eMAR or BCMA system to the TheraDoc application, contact your TheraDoc Representative.
