Optimized migration from ICD-9 to ICD-10 for SAP BusinessObjects

at Tuscon Medical Center

Tucson Medical Center has been Tucsons locally governed nonprofit regional hospital for more than 65years. TMC is Southern Arizonas leading provider for emergency care and pediatric care, with top-notch

intensive care units for adults, children and newborns.

The issues encountered by the SAP BusinessObjects team

Dan Dellacona, the senior application system developer had been hired as the first BOE administrator.

He explains We are using Epic as our health care software. Epic is reselling SAP BusinessObjects as part of his

reporting solution. Before I joined, BO administration was a shared responsibility, but the developers couldnt

keep spending the time on sharing administration. Every time we need to apply an Epic patch which include

schema changes, the question was: whats the impact in SAP BusinessObjects of the Epic patch? We need to

be proactive and no longer reactive. Something has to change and we have to make it more manageable. Weneed something clean, organized, simplified and make life easier to monitor, to upgrade our Business Objects

platforms

Dan Dellacona keeps explaining One of our major concern was to migrate our SAP BusinessObjects assets

from ICD-9 to ICD-10. We needed simplified and reliable impact analysis process to help us with transition to

ICD10 by defining ICD9 codes as selection criteria. The aim was to Identify Crystal reports and webis using

those codes.

More generally Dan needs were: My users are using SAP BusinessObjects to determine the health of our

patients, the health of our business and the health of our processes. I need the same for my Business Objects

systems. I need some transparency. I need BI for SAP BusinessObjects. I need also to clean up my system but

the trick was to identify unused content, dormant users. Before I could do really too much I have to ensure that I

have easy to use backup and version control so that if I delete something I can get it back easily. All of that with

minimum complexity and thats why360suite came through for us

The benefits of the 360suite solutions

GB & SMITH is a software company that streamlines and extends SAP BusinessObjects software. It

develops and markets powerful and intuitive solutions.

Dan Dellacona explains by choosing the 360suite, we have the suitable SAP BusinessObjects metadata

extraction and analysis solution. It has help us to achieve our icd9 to icd10 conversion project around SAP

BusinessObjects. Whenever we have a need we just look what the products can offer: for example we just

complete a comparison projects to align our development and production system.

The 360suite range combines 4 solutions: 360view (security), 360plus (backup and promotion), 360cast

(dynamic bursting) and 360eyes (audit and impact analysis).

By purchasing the 360suite range, Tuscon Medical Center will gain daily time for performing routine SAP

BusinessObjects administration tasks. 360suite has becoming a must have product at TMC. I want to go deeper

in the products in the future and thus maximize our return on investment and spread more insights from our BO

platforms to developers, key users and auditors.
