This Dashboard design allows you to select a report or cube option on the left-hand side of the screen, while the right-hand side of the screen is designated as the area to view the selected report or cube result-set. The default report that automatically runs when this dashboard initially displays can be found under the Provider Enrollment Reports section, as the first report option (2 Year Provider Counts). Reports are designated by the icon. Cubes are designated by the icon.
To run a report or a cube, click the desired report-name on the left-hand side of the dashboard screen. Some reports require that the user enter criteria (like County or COE) prior to the report actually running.

Dimension : the highest level of descriptive data. Common dimensions tend to deal with major aspects of the
business, such as date, provider type, COE and counties. They typically address the questions of when, what, where, who, and how.
Measure : represents the key performance indicators used to gauge the success of your business, such as
Client count, Claim count, and Claim Paid Amount. Measures help you to view the performance from different perspectives.

This information is gathered from the Provider Enrollment Cube, which is refreshed on a monthly basis. An updated date will be displayed near the top of the report which indicates the most recent Cube Refresh date. This report shows two separate cross-tab reports; Active Provider Counts Across Locations and Provider Enrollment Status Across Years. A drill-down capability exists for those items that are underlined. This drill-down helps isolate or narrow the view of information displayed.
Page: 8
Special Note for the above Provider Enrollment Status Across Years counts: Counts include all enrollment status records with an end-date equal to or beyond the time period indicated. Counts are by Provider-ID, which means each MCO provider could be counted a few times, once for each MCO they belong to. The Terminated (T-Term) provider count includes over 212,000 MCO providers that were terminated on 01/31/2008 for NPI. Re-activation of these providers was under a different Provider-ID.
After youve clicked Finish, the report will run for a few seconds and then display the result-set in the same area on the screen.

The Cognos Cubes that are found within the MAD Executive Dashboard have been developed over many months of discussion, analysis, streamlining and prototyping. Each unique cube has been developed with specific dimensions and measures so that maximum user-required information can be viewed in the quickest time possible. This Executive Dashboard has several cubes in each of the three different sub-systems. Each cube has been developed to answer specific high-level (executive) questions that may arise during a normal work day. The data thats retrieved/captured to populate these cubes comes from the normal NM Data Warehouse, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
