Managing manual statistics

Axiom uses statistics as a basis for distributing costs for allocation and/or reclass dollar amounts during cost processing. Often, statistics already exist in Axiom as part of Axiom Budgeting and Performance Reporting, such as occupancy, admissions, discharges, patient days, etc. In cases where the statistic does not exist, you can create your own that are not directly derived from encounter or cost data. Examples include square footage, meals served, pounds of laundry, etc. Departments that include the statistic receive their weighted share of the allocated or reclassed balances from the source department or account.

The manual statistics page allows you to define values by department for existing statistic accounts in addition to adding statistics for departments. When a new statistic is added, the input manual statistic writes to the department along with any related manually input values. Axiom then saves these to the costing general ledger (CGL) for reference in any reclass or allocation step.
