Revenue and Expense Interfaces • What is the scope and how will it be used? • Revenue will be automatically interfaced from the new IDX system to the Lawson GL on a daily basis. • This interface will use a crosswalk to map revenue from your IDX Divisions and/or Billing Areas to your Clinical Accounting Units in Lawson. • Non-payroll expenses will be automatically interfaced from WEBBA to the Lawson GL on a daily basis. • This interface will post purchasing expenses from WEBBA in Lawson. • Nonclinical academic and research expenses recorded in WEBBA will also be included. • How will the department use it? • These interfaces will occur automatically on a daily basis. There is no action needed from the departments to post revenue and expenses in Lawson.
Revenue and Expense Interfaces • What else is in it for you? • These interfaces will allow P/L reporting in Lawson that includes clinical revenue from IDX and expenses from WEBBA. • Consolidated Clinical and Non-Clinical reporting will also be possible for each department in Lawson with these interfaces.
Human Resources and Payroll Interface • What is being installed? • The Lawson Human Resources and Payroll modules • What is the scope and how will it be used? • The Lawson Human Resource and Payroll systems will act as a shadow system to the USC Payroll system. • The USC payroll system will send employee demographic, payroll gross wage and general ledger allocation information to Lawson for anyone residing or being paid out of the Clinical Departments at USC. • No transactions will be entered into Lawson. • The USC system will be the system of record for this data. • Updates from USC Payroll to Lawson will be made on a daily and pay period basis. • The Clinical pay override process will be built into the Lawson system. • How will the department use it? • The Lawson system will be used for reporting and for storing Clinical Pay overrides. • It has been set up to mirror all USC systems’ data attributes and coding structure.
Human Resources and Payroll Interface • What else is in it for you? • USC Payroll wage expense allocation information will be interfaced to the Lawson GL system and available for income statement reporting. • You will be able to review allocations by account in the Lawson GL system and drill back to the Lawson Payroll system to identify the employee wage expenses which account for those amounts. • This is not currently available in the USC Webba GL system. • The Lawson GL system will store Payroll clinical expense wage allocations by Cost Center, which today is not available in the USC Webba GL system. • Workforce analysis and reporting will be available to provide information useful in analysis of headcount, compensation and turnover for the Clinical departments.
Frequently Asked Questions – Finance (1 of 3) • Will the Practice Plans have access to modify the General Ledger? • No, changes to the GL will be made by Medical Finance. We are working on procedures for departments to request journals and will communicate them when they are available. • What reports will be available in Lawson? • On July 1st, there will be two standard reports available: a standard balance sheet and an income statement that includes clinical, non-clinical and combined activity. After July 1st, additional reports may be created based on the needs of the Practice Plans and USC Care. • Will we be able to report financial results by physician? • On July 1st, there will not be a facility in Lawson for reporting results by physician. Expenses can be allocated by cost center for tracking purposes. For Wave 2, currently anticipated to go live February, 2010, the use of Lawson’s Projects and Activities (AC) application is being considered for this purpose. • Can Lawson be used to report all finance activity for the Department? • Yes, in order to create the integrated financial income statement for the department, clinical and non-clinical activities will be interfaced into Lawson.
Frequently Asked Questions – Finance (2 of 3) • What previous balances will be loaded into Lawson? When and how will this take place? • ANo historical income statement data will be entered in Lawson. After the corporation books are closed June 30th, the departments will be asked to provide financial details and we will upload beginning balance sheets into Lawson. • How will receivables collected by the Practice Plans after July 1st be paid to USC Care? • Dates of service after July 1st will be remitted under the single USC Care tax ID # and remitted to department USC accounts. For services prior to July 1st, many payors have been billed with the corporations’ tax ID #s and lockbox information. This cash will be remitted by payors to existing corporate banks and lockboxes. A nightly sweep will be performed to transfer the cash to USC Bank of America bank accounts and assigned to the departments clinical accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions – Finance (3 of 3) • How long after July 1st will we need to keep our existing accounting application around to access historical data? • The existing corporations will need to issue W-2s in January of 2010. As such accounting systems should be closed at fiscal year end, but available for calendar year end processing. Future access to historical data is up to the department but we recommend 3 years. • When will our accounts be available in WEBBA? • Accounts will be available on June 1st to begin issuance of form requisitions for blanket and one-time P.O.s for fiscal year 2010.
