About machine learning classifications

If your organization uses the cloud-based version of Axiom Budgeting and Performance Reporting, the system has access to a machine learning process that analyzes and determines the best suggested classification code for the account. You can use this pre-determined classification or assign your own, depending on how well the machine learned classifications meet your needs. We suggest you review each assignment and correct where you deem necessary using the following reports:

  • Entity Standards Review
  • Dept Standards Review
  • Acct Standards Review
  • Jobcode Standards Review
  • Paytype Standards Review
  • Provider Standards Review *Only available with a Comparative Analytics Provider license

Each one is similar in structure. Within each, you will review the assignment and, where needed, change the standard assignment in the override column.

As part of the development of future report tools and utilities, data needs to be standardized across accounts, departments, and so on. Part of this process includes mapping these items in your organization to KHA Standard Class codes.

NOTE: This process will benefit your organization in the future by providing more detailed data and reporting capabilities. Once complete, you should only need to update these reports when you add new accounts, departments, etc.

If you feel there are missing categories or identifiers to accurately classify our key elements, please contact DataScienceTeam@syntellis.net. We will continue to expand and adapt this taxonomy structure to give you quality insights through comparative elements and planning process integration.

Mapping KHA Standard Class codes

To map KHA Standard Class codes:

  1. In the Mgmt Admin task pane, in the Data Maintenance section, click Data Reconciliation, and double-click one of the following:

    NOTE: The results returned depend on the user’s write filter on the dimension table as established when using the Dimension Maintenance Security utility.

    • Acct Standards Review
    • Dept Standards Review
    • Entity Standards Review
    • Jodcode Standards Review

    • Paytype Standards Review

  2. In the Refresh Variables dialog, you can optionally filter the data in the report by KHA Standard Class and/or State by clicking Choose Value, select the values to filter by, and click OK.

    NOTE: To view all of the items (accounts, departments, etc.) in the report, click OK.

  3. In the KHA Standard Classification column, do one of the following.

    1. To use the machine learning classification as determined by the system, copy the classification from the ML Classification column, and paste it into the KHA Standard Classification column.

      NOTE: At this time, the ML Classification is only used if your organization has a cloud-based system. If your system is located on premise, the column will be blank.

    2. To select a different classification, double-click the folder next to the KHA Standard Classification column, select a classification, and click OK.
  4. In the Entity Standards Review report, do the following:
    1. In the Medicare Provider Number column, type the MPN number, as needed.
    2. In the Active column, identify which entity is active by doing one of the following:
      1. In the Medicare Provider Number column, type the MPN number, as needed.
      2. In the Active column, identify which entity is active by doing one of the following:
        • To activate the code, click TRUE.
        • To deactivate the code, click FALSE.
  5. After making your changes, in the Main ribbon tab, click Save.

The information you enter saves back to the corresponding dimension table. For example, after mapping your accounts, the system saves your changes to the ACCT dimension table.

Mapping standard specialty data for providers

NOTE: The Provider Standards Review report is only available with a Comparative Analytics Provider license. To acquire this license, contact your sales representative or Client Relations Executive (CRE).

The Provider Standards Review report allows you to map standard specialty data for providers in your organization to the Provider dimension table.

To use the Provider Standards Review report:

  1. In the Mgmt Admin task pane, in the Data Maintenance section, click Data Reconciliation, and double-click Provider Standards Review.

  2. In the Refresh Variables dialog, you can optionally filter the data in the report by standard specialty, provider, and/or the active state of the provide by clicking Choose Value, selecting the values to filter by, and clicking OK.

  3. Complete the following columns:

    Column Description
    ML Classification ID and Name

    To activate and configure this column, contact Syntellis Support.

    NOTE: These columns are used primarily by the Syntellis machine learning feature. To activate these columns, contact Syntellis Support.

    Standard Specialty Code To the right of the column, click the folder icon. From the Choose Value dialog, select the Standard Specialty Code, and click OK.
    NPI Type the National Provider Identifier (NPI) for the provider.
    Active To indicate that a provider is currently practicing, type True. To indicate the providers is no longer practicing, type False.
    Birth Year Type the provider's birth date using the MM/DD/YYYY format.
    Hire Year Type the year the provider was hired using the YYYY format.
    Contract Renewal Date Type the date the provider's contract was renewed using the MM/DD/YYYY format.

  4. After making your changes, in the Main ribbon tab, click Save.
