Work with Axiom Enterprise Decision Support

Axiom Enterprise Decision Support is a web-based application that allows you to manage your costing process and run reports to help your organization make decisions.

When you log into Axiom and launch the application, the Axiom Enterprise Decision Support home page displays a series of card buttons that open utilities, reports, and other functions. Cards can include multiple levels, depending on the number of tasks to complete. A breadcrumb link at the top of the page informs you of where you are in the system. You can use these links to move through the system quickly and easily.

To view instructions on using the Axiom interface, see Axiom basics.

The home page groups includes the following areas:

Data control

Define data sources

Configure where Axiom acquires the data used when processing cost models. For more information, see Define data sources.

Maintain data

Manage core financial dimension data for your organization, which is used by the Axiom system for the costing process and reporting purposes. For more information, see Maintain dimension data.

Data enhancement and refinement

Define service lines

Create, manage, and process the tagging of encounters with service lines for reporting purposes. For more information, see Work with service lines.

Define populations

Create and manage population definitions, including specifying criteria. The tagged encounters can then be pushed to Axiom Intelligence for reporting capability. For more information, see Manage population definitions.

Define data transformations

Create and manage data transformation definitions to manipulate data in the Axiom database for reporting purposes. These definitions let you define how, when, and where to change values in the database using different calculation types with no SQL knowledge necessary. For more information, see Add, edit, or copy a data transformation definition.

Encounter analysis

Define encounter rules

Identify patients and encounters for an episode of care or a bundled payment analysis. You can then comb through large amounts of data and reference lists to find the desired filters when building an episode definition. For more information, see Define encounters for analysis.

View encounters

View details regarding a patient encounter to help you understand overall reporting results. For more information, see View encounter details.

Cost accounting

Modify most recent cost model

Modify your most recent cost model using a series of dimension versions, manual statistics, adjustments, methods, reclasses, allocations, and processes. For more information, see Add or modify cost models.

Manage cost models

Create, manage, and process cost models using a series of grouped utilities and functions specifically for cost model configuration. For more information, see Manage cost models.
