Glossary of Terms• Department = Cost Center• Service Item=charge item or CDM item, something you billed a patient for• SIM=Service Item Master = CDM (Charge Description Master)• Patient Care Departments: provide patient services (AKA Direct Departments)

– Three Types of Patient Care Departments• Billed and in HPM: Billing data is in HPM• Billed and NOT in HPM: Patients are billed by a system not feeding HPM (e.g. home health)• Unbilled: Patient are not billed for services (e.g. outreach programs)

• Overhead Departments: support other departments, do not provide services directly to patients (AKA Indirect Departments)

• Studied Service Items: Have a standard• Unstudied Service Items: Do not have a standard• Partially Studied Service Items: Some components for a service item have a standard and

others do not• Miscellaneous service item: a service item for which the price is assigned at the time the charge

is assigned to the patient (AKA variable charge item, catch-all charge item)

Data preparation applications: 1, 2, 3

1. Integrate data - import statistics for overhead allocation

2. Data set manager - deleting data before costing

3. Worksheet - to gather and audit data

This guide will give cursory treatment to these applications, as they are core HPM applications you are already familiar with.

1. Integrate data

Purposes:• Integrate GL data

– Use your usual approach

• Integrate statistics– Square footage:__________________– Equipment Depreciation: CAstatEQDEPR.txt derived from

Excel sheet supplied by fixed asset system

• Integrate cost standards– For importing supply costs and other standards from

outside HPM – more on this later

• Integrate Implant Extension data– More on this later

2. Data Set Manager

• Used to copy datasets and clear datasets as called for in the costing checklist

• Caution: At no point do we delete an entire dataset. Doing so will remove all references to the dataset in Worksheets, which you would then need to add.

• Caution: Deleting the service item components will also delete the service item standards. Be sure your standards are backed up periodically in a copy of the dataset, or using the Worksheet “Extract Standards”. This option should not be needed, since starting over with an empty dataset, all service item data is deleted anyway.

3. Worksheet

• Numerous worksheets exist in the Costing library, 2008 folder for various purposes throughout the process:– Worksheet for figuring out benefits percentage– Worksheets for determining implants adjustment – Worksheets for auditing– Worksheets for using the costing data in margin and cost

analysis

• What we need before we do anything else: Worksheets for determining new departments and accounts and new service items

3. Worksheets for New Departments and New Accounts

• “0000 New Depts”: Generate, open and sort the worksheet to identify the new departments.

• Make a list of the new departments• Follow the “New Department Flowchart” (next slide)• “0000 New Accts”: Open and sort the report to

identify the new accounts from last time.• Make a list of the new accounts• Follow the “New Account Flowchart” (slide after

next)

New department flow

PatientService?

1) Make it a direct department. 2) Give it OH allocation statistics and overrides (see OH Allocation editor)3) Create SI volume, prices4) Create service Item standards5) Add to remap “2009 Cost remap 01 Labor Fix/Var”

Chgs in Pat Acct?

1)Make it a direct dept if you want it to get overhead. It will have no SI volume, and so “dead-ends”2) Give it OH allocation statistics and overrides3) Add to remap “2009 Cost remap 01 Labor Fix/Var”

Patient Service means that patient services are provided. Usually this means we bill patients for the services, though sometimes the billing data is not in HPM or the services are not billed for. In this case the department “dead-ends”.

Overhead departments support Patient Service Departments.

4a: Enter components

This screen is where components are set up. Once they are set up, no changes should be needed.

Changing this information should be considered and planned very carefully so as to not nullify prior costing work.

Note: You should not alter this data without consulting Roger

Page 17: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

17

4b: Relate direct, indirect, credit

This screen is where a relationship is made so that each direct component has a matching indirect and credit component.

Again, once this information is set, it should not be changed without careful consideration and planning.

Note: You should not alter this data without consulting Roger

Page 18: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

18

4c: Select standard for components

This screen is where each component is assigned to use a standard for allocation to the service item.

Again, once this information is set, it should not be changed without careful consideration and planning.

Note: You should not alter this data without consulting Roger

Page 19: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

A word about studied/unstudied/partially studied

• Studied means that a service item standard is aSampleable

• Unstudied means no standard is aSampleable. Price or even allocation are your choices

• Partially studied: some procedures have standards, others do not

• Partially studied: If a service item appears with no standard, the system will use the price of the item to determine a standard:– Standards of studied/ charges of studied x price of

unstudied = unstudied standard

• We are making everything studied to avoid using this.

4e: Enter summarized components

This screen is where summarized component names are entered. There is room for 40 total, with 5 reserved as system standard. We are using 36.

Again, once this information is set, it should not be changed without careful consideration and planning.

These will be used later in 15, “Summarized Component Mappings”

Note: You should not alter this data without consulting Roger

5. Account to Component Mappings

• Option in the Chart of Accounts Editor• These are already set up for you and should not need

to change unless you add or change a cost component• Any new GL accounts are mapped to an existing GL

component using GL remap:– “2009 Cost Remap 03 Components”

If you feel a need to make changes here, please consult Roger first. The following slides show how these mappings were made.

Page 22: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

23Select the account to map and move it to the selected accounts list.

Page 24: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

24On the Option menu, choose “Component Mapping”

Page 25: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

25

The screen switches to component assignment mode. Choosing the List button lets you see all aSampleable components to map to.No changes should be needed to these mappings – the real mappings work is being done in remap “2009 Cost Remap 03 Components”

Page 26: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

26

A word on why the real component mapping work is done in GL remap

• Changing account to component mappings in the Chart of Accounts is slow because every database uses the same chart of accounts

• If you try to print the account to component mappings in the chart, you can only access 250 accounts at one time, and the format of the output is not user friendly

• The user dialog for adding or changing mappings in the chart editor is not user friendly.

• Note: The “Missing Account to Component Mappings” audit report on HPM is of no use with this approach – use Worksheet “0003 New Remaps Comparison” to identify any missing mappings

• Note: we still use GL Account to Component Mappings – but it is just a formality, a one-to-one from GL components to cost components (e.g. account DVL goes to component DVL)

6. GL Remap

About Remaps:• Moves and transforms data• Similar to double entry accounting: one entry to move

or credit a value, another to offset or debit the original value

• When you assign, GL Remap “remembers” the settings for the next time. You should not change the Assign settings, as they will produce wrong results if you do. The assign settings for each remap are in the Excel process checklist.

Page 28: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

28

6: Remap Example – First RemapEach row is a rule.Input accounts are converted to the output account.

The first rule first moves all data from the input dataset into the output set.

Assign lets you choose an input and output dataset.

6: Remap Assign

The input and output datasets are always different in this process.

Processing options for each are listed in the Excel checklist.

You should not change these options – they will be retained for future assign jobs.

Recap on Statistics:

• Automated mainly for total expense• Selection for statistics that you have put in the dataset• Override by itself, with zeros for all departments except the

ones you want to give a number• Override with ZEROSTAT let’s you plug in only numbers you

want• Override with other selected stats lets you exclude some

departments by entering zero in the override

8: Create Component Data

• Choose dataset

• Choose time period

• Reverse signs makes positive revenue into negative expense

• Limit processing to 100% makes sure that overlapping rules do not duplicate cost

• Should require 2 to 3 minutes. You can detach or stay attached.

This step must be done after the allocation structure is complete, with all departments accounted for, or it will fail.

9: GL Allocation

• Choose dataset

• Choose timeframe

• Run it for all components

• Store statistics

• Store credit values

• Use single stepdown

• Takes a minimum of 16 minutes, so detach.

• When you look at job record later in job viewer, right click on job to see log files.

43

A Word On GL Allocation Options

• Single vs Simultaneous: Single is the standard Medicare cost report method. Simultaneous is required by the Canadian government for its hospitals. It passes more overhead between overhead areas before passing it to patient care areas.

• Store credit and statistic values so that audit worksheets can be used later to illustrate how the allocation worked.

• If you are costing part of the year, you MUST control the time frame in running GL Allocation and in audit worksheets or you will not get the intended results.

10: Service Item Remap

• Nursery has charges, but no GL cost (it’s all booked in Labor and Delivery)

• Must move Nursery charges to Labor and Delivery to match with cost.

• After every encounter data update, must run the SI Remap to move the Nursery charges to Labor and Delivery for each database updated.

• After this is done, for costing must create SI volume and price from the encounter datasets.

• The next four slides show how SI Remap works.

11: Create Service Item Volume and Price

• Price and volume, along with standards, are used to develop cost per service item

• We load our price and volume from the patient datasets.

Page 56: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

56

11: Create Service Item Volume and Price

• Develop from encounter datasets

• Choose 2 datasets to pick up all activity posted in a time period.

• Use average price calculation• Insert/Update records• Use date of service and choose

time frame to match the GL data

• Convert all patient types to “Other”

• Mark new as “studied”.

A Word about “Create Service Item Volume and Price” Options

Why two encounter datasets?– Charge activity for FY2008 can be found in the 2007 encounter data; patients

admitted in 2007 but staying in hospital into 2008 have charges in 2008.Patient Types in Costing:

– HPM ws designed to allow different standards for the same service item, depending on the patient type it was provided for

– The additional level of detail is usually more than a hospital starting is cost accounting is prepared to use

– Therefore, we default all patient types in costing to “Other” so that single patient type is used for all patients.

Price Calculation:– Choice is average YTD or periodic. Periodic calculates each month

individually. YTD works better because it smoothes out spikes in volume and price increases

All versus Accumulated Units:– In nursing units that distinguish accumulated units versus other units, would

allow you to use only the accumulated unit service item volume (usually patient days and observation hours). We use all units in the department which also picks up many chargeable supplies

12. Revising Standards

• Several options:a) Built in tool for revising standards: okay for cost

acountant, but not for managersb) Worksheet: good for managers and cost accountant, but

must pre-integrate values so fields can be edittedc) Integrate using standard file layout: for cost accountant

only, useful for:• Move standards from one dataset to another• Pre-integrate default values for use in model Worksheet• Integrate standards developed elsewhere

• Bottom Line: Likely to be a combination of all these methods

12b. Using Worksheet to Revise Standards

• Copy existing standards dataset• Create new volume and price from new time period• Run a worksheet to find new service items• Run MS/Access tool to create new service item

standards for new service items• Standards should be set to .001 to indicate the new

service items (see next slide on importing standards)• Generate model worksheet for entry by managers• Use distribution list to distribute to managers• Following slides illustrate distribution and

consolidation

Page 61: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

61Select the worksheet you want to distribute

Page 62: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

62Then choose the menu option Applications/Teamware/Distribute

Page 63: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

63Next choose the distribution list you want to use.

Page 64: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

64

From the menu choose Options. You may then choose to distribute, consolidate or use the distribution list editor. Here we choose Consolidate…

Page 65: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

65

…The distribution list is displayed, where you can see the status of when users sent their results back (“submitted”). You may view the worksheet and either hit “consolidate” or “refuse”. Consolidate puts the results back into the master worksheet. Refuse sends the worksheet back to the manager for further work.

Page 66: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

66

As you consolidate worksheets the “Date Consolidated” column fills in.

Page 67: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

67

Once the worksheet is sufficiently consolidated, you may commit its contents back to the original dataset with the menu option Data/Commit.

12c. Integrate Standards From Other Sources

• Uses:– Pre-load standards for entry (you cannot edit null/empty values using

worksheet – must load a value first)– Load standards developed elsewhere– Load chargeable supply or pharmacy supply cost by service item– Moving all standards from one dataset to another

• Method:– Text file in correct format or Export from HPM Worksheet (see below)

– Import to Access Tool: “Yardley HPM Standards Formatter”– Export text file– Integrate file to desired dataset

Page 69: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

69

To extract standards from a dataset

Build, open and export this worksheet to a tab delimited text file.

Page 70: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

70

“Yardley HPM Standards Formatter”

• Built using Microsoft Access database

• Import this file or any other in the same file format to table “Importfile”

• The queries in the database will format the data for integration to HPM

• Important: Any values (zero or greater) supplied in this file will overwrite values already in the target dataset. Null values in this file will not replace the values in the target dataset.

• The most recent integration file was called “CAsistds20090130.txt”, found in the source directory

Page 71: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

71

You will clear and then load the Importfile table with your data, then go to the queries tab..

Page 72: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

72

Run the last query and your data will be formatted. Export this data to a file on the HPM Source directory, then integrate it (see next slide).

13. Service Item Allocation Mapping

• Lets you choose the standard that will be used for each component

• It is possible to make exceptions by department which are called overrides

• We illustrate how in the following slides

Page 75: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

75

Service Item Allocation Mapping lets you pick which standard is use to allocate each component,

Page 76: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

76

In this case, DVL is being allocated with the standard we have loaded for DVL. Other labor components will also use DVL.

Page 77: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

77

In this example, it looks like the default way of allocating DVS is using price of each service item, but DVS also has an override…

Page 78: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

78

By choosing Options and “Service Item Allocation Overrides” you come to the overrides screen…

Page 79: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

79

…and here, for DVS we can see that the DVS standard is specified for use in specific department. All others would then use price.This is the only override we are using for now.

14. Service Item Allocation

Use these options each time you run SI allocation

Page 81: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

81

A Word on SI Allocation Options

• We store YTD and periodic values, though our main purpose is YTD values (we may want to try our periodic values at some point for some reason, and it costs nothing extra to include it here).

• You MUST remember to use the date cut off for the last month in your GL dataset.

• The report may be helpful in identifying a problem in the process – we don’t generally look at the report unless there is a problem

• This job only takes a few minutes to run

Page 82: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

15: Map to summarized components

Summarized components are used in encounter reporting. We are using 37 of 40 aSampleable groupings.

Note: You can change this data after careful consideration

Page 83: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

83

Worksheet to audit summarized component mappings

• These mappings should rarely change• If you change these mappings, encounter cost

worksheets will be affected and will need to be rerun• You should run this audit worksheet to cross-foot

every component and grouping• See next slide

Page 84: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

16. Encounter Costing•Choose your encounter and unit cost datasets•Usually you are costing the whole dataset, so no encounter selection needed.•Unit cost source is YTD•Open Period Cost Source is YTD allocated values•Last closed period is last GL period that was costed•MUST detach as it will take 25 minutes at the least and tie up the datasets

Note: the option “Include out of date encounters only” should be set and saved before subsequent encounter updates (see next page)

Page 86: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

86

More on Encounter Costing

• The option “Include out of date encounters only” should be set (checked off) and parameters saved before subsequent encounter updates (see next page)

• This will cause each encounter that is added or changed to be costed during the integration process.

• Options “Actual Payment as Cost” and “Add Supply Cost” depend on having this data in the encounter record. This does not occur in our data, so the options are unused.

• Open period cost source: If GL and costing are complete through September, and the encounter data has patients through October, October is an open period. To cost these cases we use YTD allocated values.

17. Implant Costs in Data Extension

• Background: Miscellaneous service item (6211888) was used for approximately 2.6 million of over 6 million in implant costs in 2008, with a range per item of 0 to $14,000

• Using this data as is, HPM would develop an average cost and apply it to all patients, grossly overstating and understating individual patients.

Page 88: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

88

There are several approaches to handling this:1) Custom interface program from McKesson to break out ranges of

charge values – Makes new charge codes to replace old code

– Would have to reload history for these patients

– Have to process with each subsequent update

2) Change charge capture in STAR to include better detail– Will not correct prior history

– Strongly recommend for going forward

3) Include invoice cost or a reasonable approximation for each patient– Most control for Sample using a data extension

– Easy and aSampleable

– You MUST include this field when reporting encounter cost

– Must remove this cost from implant to be allocated using a remap

– This is the approach we have adopted for now

Setting Up The Extension

• Data Integration/Data Model Extensibility• Choose staged or not staged (see next slide for more)• Choose field names and data types• System returns the format that the file for integration

must have• MUST got to security next and enable modify access

for your account and view access for other accounts for the extension

Setting up the data extension (1)

Your extension is already set up, you do not need to make a new one or modify the existing. This just shows how it was done.

Page 92: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

92

Extensions are set up in the data model where appropriate, this one is in the encounter section.

93

Setting up the data extension (3)

When you make an extension template you get to choose if a staging area will be used. If it is, a box pops up to ask how it will link to the patient record. See more on staging on the next slide.

Page 94: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

94

To Stage or Not To Stage

Two approaches to loading an extension:1) You have the encounter key aSampleable and can

put it on each record• The encounter key is complex, consisting of multiple

elements, including patient name• Using this method, you can integrate directly to the

extension

2) You have the patient billing number on each record, but not the whole encounter key

• You first integrate to the staging area• Then you merge the staged data with the dataset

We used #2 because it is easier to obtain the patient billing number in the data you want to load.

Page 95: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

97

Actual file for integration

This file uses “Layout Report” specifications from prior screen. The file for 2008 is complete, unless we make a better version with invoice cost. For 2009, we should rebuild this file year-to-date with each update. You must be vigilant to make sure this data is complete as patients are added to the dataset. The next slides depict how the values were arrived at in this file.

Preparing the miscellaneous implant patient file (1)

Use implant.xls to determine the cost for each patient using the markup of charges tab.

Recap on the implant extension:

• For 2008, the data has been loaded based on the markup and patient charges– Need to monitor to make sure future updates to 2008 do not

change the 2.602 million– Could make it more accurate by replacing the values with

invoice costs

• For 2009, if the charge mechanism is now splitting out several ranges of miscellaneous code, we could use those– Need to see when it began and how much it covers– Should probably continue to populate the extension with

invoice for the most accurate implant cost

Page 101: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

101

Add access in security

You must give yourself and others access to the extension before you do anything else. You will not be able to integrate until you do.

Page 102: 1 Sample Costing Process Documentation McKesson’s Horizon Performance Manager (HPM) Roger Crook 215-321-9197 rcrook@yardleyconsulting.com ©2008 Yardley

Merge Staging Area Data

• If you picked “Integrate to the staging area” as an option, you have one more step after integration of the data

• You need to merge the data with one or more datasets.

• This makes the association to each patient record using the linking field you specified.

• Following slides depict how this is done

Other Notes on Using The Extended Implant Data

• If reporting with department drill level, qualify column for the implant extension so that it is limited to the surgery department (6211) so that it does not pop up in others.

• DO NOT FORGET to build this element into all P&Ls and cost analyses, otherwise you are understating the cost.
