Within an Ideagen Healthcare Guardian installation, there can be a number of models. These are displayed in the model dropdown list. There can be different configuration settings set up in different Ideagen Healthcare Guardian models.

The model initially displayed will be the model you were in before you opened the Ideagen Healthcare Guardian Administrator Application.

Units

Every measure has a unit to indicate if it’s a number, percentage, etc.

Adding Units

• Click + to create/add a new unit
• Enter a name of the Score Rating and an appropriate description in the quick edit panel
• Click Save to save the new unit

Deleting Units

You can delete a Unit by selecting its name in the left pane and clicking the bin icon in the quick edit panel. You cannot delete a unit that is currently associated with any measure.

Text-Based Units

Text-based units are units that have values that are 'textual' rather than 'numeric'. Internally, text-based units are always represented as numbers, but their values are displayed and set in as text pieces rather than numbers. This allows you, for example, to set up measures that have values that are set and displayed as 'Good', 'OK' and 'Bad' rather than as 3, 2 and 1. The values 'text' of text-based units and their corresponding numeric values are defined and maintained in Ideagen Healthcare Guardian Administrator.

For a measure to use text-based measure values, it should be associated with units that are defined as text-based measures. Doing this will ensure that the measure values are displayed as their text equivalent within Ideagen Healthcare Guardian and that users can enter values in the Trends widget by selecting the appropriate text value from a drop-down list of the options available for the units of the measure.

When a user selects a text-based value, Internally, the application actually stores the corresponding numeric value. These numeric values are used during the aggregation process and in calculating variances, status measure values, etc.

If you use the Risk Management add-in, some text-based measure units are automatically created when you define or edit Risk Matrix settings; you can view these units and change the name and/or description of the units. You cannot edit the unit value details directly - they have updated automatically when you change the Risk Matrix settings.

Creating for Use in Text-Based Measures

For example, suppose we want to set up a new unit called Score Rating that uses the following text descriptions:
• Excellent to represent a value of 1
• Good to represent the value 2
• Average to represent the value 3
• Poor to represent the value 4

To do this, proceed as follows:

• Click + to create/add a new unit
• Enter a name of the Score Rating and an appropriate description in the quick edit panel
  • Click… (more) to add (or edit) the associated text values with the unit
  • Click the + button. In the popup, enter a value of 1 and label of Excellent, then +
  • Click the + button. In the popup, enter a value of 2 and label of Good, then +
  • Click the + button. In the popup, enter a value of 3 and label of Average, then +
  • Click the + button. In the popup, enter a value of 4 and label of Poor, then +

• Click Save to save the new unit

Notice that each time you add a value and label, Ideagen Healthcare Guardian Administrator adds meaning to the value. The meaning helps you determine what text value would be displayed for the units if the numeric value did not exactly match one of the values for the unit. In the above example, the unit definition looks like this:

• 1 meaning < 2, label Excellent
• 2 meaning >= 2 & < 3, label Good
• 3 meaning >= 3 & < 4, label Average
• 4 meaning >= 4 & < 3, label Poor

The above means, for example, that the numeric value 4.8 is represented as Poor, a value of 0 is Excellent, a value of 3.8 is Average etc.

Editing Units for Use in Text-Based Measures

To change the text values associated with units that are already defined:

• Click the name of the unit you want to edit/update
• Click the edit icon in the quick edit panel
  • To add new values and labels, click the + button
  • To delete a value and/or its label, select it in the list and click the bin icon.
  • To change a value and/or its associated label, simply change the value or label

• Click Save to save the new unit

When you change, add or delete unit values, you will notice that the value displayed in the meaning column is updated so that the values and their meanings remain consistent.
