TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
2
Objectives
Attendees will be able to:
• Describe the 3 core types of information in the MHS and their major characteristics.
• Characterize the flow of data from source systems into the M2
• Identify the major sources of data available for management decision-making in the MHS.
• Identify points of contact for accessing MHS data systems.

Outline
• Types of Information Systems
• System Owners
• Core MHS Systems
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
4
Information Systems in the MHS
• Operational (Transactional) Systems
• Data Warehouses
• Data Marts
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
5
• Support primary transactions of organization
• Mission critical
• Real time (near real time)
• Interface with other related systems
• Provide extracts to “off-board” systems
• Limited query capabilities
• Standard reports
Operational Systems
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
6
Data in operational systems:
• Is limited to the purpose for which a system is designed • Come about as staff conducts their routine missions (e.g.
admitting a patient, ordering a lab, etc)• Are updated as frequently as business needs require.
Operational Systems
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
7
Some MHS (related) Operational Systems:
– Composite Healthcare System (CHCS)– DEERS (Legacy and New DEERS)– TMA-Aurora Claims Acceptance System– Pharmacy Data Transaction Service
Operational Systems
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt

Data Warehouses
• Catcher’s Mitt
• Common Functions– Completeness checking– Standardization of data elements– Adding new fields (including “cleaned up” fields)– Update/Add new records– Data extraction
Operational System
Data Warehouse
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
9
Data Warehouses
• Not required to be real time – usually batch processed– Benefit: Archival capabilities– Drawback: Not as timely as an operational system
• Broader scope of data • Not generally user friendly. Access often requires
advanced programming skills. Extracts often provided to other systems
• MHS Data Repository (MDR)
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
10
Data Mart
• Information system that contains a subset of corporation’s data
• User-friendly software
• MHS Data Marts generally receive data from MHS Data Repository (MDR)
• Many MHS Data Marts (M2, MCFAS, PHOTO, e.g.)

MHS Source System Owners
• DMDC DEERS
• Military Services
• MHS IM/IT Program
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
13
Information System Owners• DEERS: Benefits (Eligibility, Enrollment)
• Basis for much of our MHS Person Data
• Military Services: Service-unique systems• Some of these systems feed corporate databases• Business rules or reporting procedures can be
different across the Services
MHS Source System Owners
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
14
MHS IM/IT• Centralized solutions for the enterprise• Systems are built to meet “functional requirements”• Requirements are generated through Tri-Service, HA and
TMA workgroups, or by “proponents”• Potential for different “business rules” depending on
source of data• Some coordination of definitions occurs, but…

Lots of apples and oranges!

DEERS
• DEERS is a component of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). (USD/P&R).– DEERS serves all of the DoD
– DEERS manages information about entitlements and benefits
– DEERS uses operational information systems to communicate benefit information about individuals
– (MHS Requirements for DEERS go through IM/IT)
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
17
DEERS
• Eligibility Status• Enrollment Status• Sponsor
Status/Occupation/Unit• Beneficiary Demographics• Medicare Status• Guard/Reserve Information
Data in DEERS
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
18
Transactions with DEERS
DEERS receives transactions/data from:
• MTFs• Beneficiaries• Service Personnel Offices• RAPIDS (ID Cards)• Medicare• MCSC• Others
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
19
DEERS Functionality
• Communicates with MHS Operational Systems– Eligibility Checks– Automatic download of demographic data
• Beneficiary Enrollments with DOES– TRICARE– Other programs
• Data Extracts to MDR
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt

New DEERS vs Legacy DEERS
• Y2K – “New” DEERS begins
• NED DEERS -- Feb 04 switch of enrollment
• DEERS continues to evolve but discontinuities result

DEERS Data to TMA
• DEERS provides snapshots of it’s databases to TMA each month• Beneficiary level information• Eligibility Data• Enrollment Data• Cumulative knowledge of activations
• Extracts processed in MDR, sent to M2 and MCFAS• (Results in 6 different M2 tables)

Composite Health Care System(CHCS)
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
25
•CHCS is the primary operational system supporting MTFs
- Built in MUMPS
- The ambulatory module is being replaced by CHCS-II
•Provides nearly comprehensive operational support to MTFs
•Communicates with DEERS, other local systems

CHCS
• CHCS: Developed by Clinical Information Technology Program Office (CITPO)
• CHCS Host: The computer platform that runs CHCS for an area.• CHCS Hosts can serve more than one facility and Service
• There are 100+ CHCS Hosts• CHCS Hosts are not linked• Do not share a database• Causes significant standardization issues!

Data from CHCSData from CHCS
CHCS Data Warehouse
•CHCS is an operational system
•CHCS provides routine extracts of data to the corporate data warehouses (and Service agencies)

Types of Data Files from CHCS
Types of Data Files from CHCS
•Abridged Inpatient Electronic Records
Called the Standard Inpatient Data Record (SIDR)
Contains 200+ variables about inpatient stays
Stay-level data
•Abridged Ambulatory Electronic Records
Called the Standard Ambulatory Data Record (SADR)
Encounter level data, expected to include IP Professional services

Using CHCS Data
• CHCS is a robust store of operational data about an MTF• Inpatient, Lab, Rad, Rx, Appointments, etc• Real-time data• Limited to “local view”, but if your question is about a local
issue --- this is a great source.• Contact PAD or IM Department for information about how
to get data from CHCS.
• CHCS-based data files also available in M2 (full scope, many appended fields, not as timely)

TMA / WISDOM Excerpt

Claims Overview
•The TMA Aurora operational systems runs “edit checks” against the TEDs
•Once the TED passes edits, Aurora will recognize the MCS Contractor is entitled for reimbursement for what was paid to the provider.
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
45
Claims
• Two types of TEDs• Institutional – Submitted by institutions• Non-Institutional – Submitted by providers, other
non-institutions• Like CMS 1500 or UB-92
• Contain the same type of information as you see on SIDR/SADR….(additional $$ data)
but not inpatient/outpatient!!!!!
TMA / WISDOM Excerpt
46
Claims
• Each TED can contain only one provider of care, for only one patient!
• For any given event, can have multiple claims if:– There is more than one provider– Certain pieces of information (that are relevant to
payment) change– The provider wants to get paid but treatment
period is not over (e.g. interim claims)
