New SlicerDicer Data Models

We continue to develop SlicerDicer and encourage everyone to try it out for your reporting needs.  New filters are added biweekly and new data models are added quarterly so be sure to check back often!  A few of the newest data models are listed below.  For an up-to-date list, description and sample queries for all data models available, be sure to check out the “BJC SlicerDicer Data Models” document, located on the Reporting Learning Home Dashboard.

Recently Added Data Models:

• Breast Imaging Lesions - Imaging department managers and radiologists can use this to identify and monitor trends, and researchers can use it to identify cohorts for research studies.
• Care Path Step Events - Analysts and managers can use this data to analyze how their Care Paths are performing and improve their Care Path build.
• Medication Billing Transactions - Pharmacy charge supervisors can use this data to help find trends in medication charges and evaluate revenue.
• Patient Isolations - Infection preventionists and other staff who report on patient isolation data can explore patient isolations.
• Patient Portal Task Instances - As patients interact with their assigned care plan tasks in MyChart Care Companion, clinicians can use the data to help spot trends in that interaction, while executives can monitor the effectiveness of current care plans and assess the need for changes or additional plans.
• Procedure Orders - Clinicians and systems analysts can use this data model to evaluate order set build and usage.

Communication details:

M*Modal users are prompted to calibrate their microphone when they first set up their profiles but occasionally re-calibration is needed. If users move to a loud dictation environment or if users notice a lot of recognition errors all of a sudden, re-calibration is recommended. Additionally, users should calibrate each type of microphone they use. For example, if you use an Olympus Microphone and the 3M Mobile Microphone Smart Phone Application; you should calibrate both of these microphones for optimal recognition.

Follow these instructions on how to re-calibrate the M*Modal Microphone.

Additional M*Modal best practices to keep in mind:

• Enunciate words as much as possible – speak in full sentences and include punctuation.

• Release the RECORD button when pausing. This prevents other background noises and voices from being recorded on the profile.

• Hold the device approximately 4-6 inches off to the side of your mouth. This prevents breathing directly into the microphone which can impact recognition quality.

• Dictating in small or broken sentences will result in slower performance. Speaking straight through will provide much faster dictations.

• Close out of M*Modal FD at the end of the day. Leaving the program running for days on end can result in slower performance.
