Revenue and expense allocation results help the business understand what the profit and cost are at various levels of detail. Profitability and Cost Management requires healthcare industries to understand the “behind-the-scene” of allocation and its result. Understand Your Profitability and Cost What is the core concept of Profitability and Cost Management? Driver analysis is the fundamental step for Profitability and Cost Management. It helps the organization obtain insight to their business and understand how to manage revenue and cost. • Business defines drivers that have significant impact to business revenue and cost performance. • Drivers are reviewed and approved to be manageable for allocating revenue and cost. Review Drivers Discover Drivers • Drivers are applied to corresponding allocation logic. Change of logic requires change of driver if applicable. • When the driver is no longer appropriate for revenue or cost control purpose, it should be replaced. Apply Drivers Retire Drivers
Profitability and Cost drivers need to be managed throughout the planning cycle and allocation process. Healthcare industries must look for a way of obtaining driver insight and performing flexible driver management before they can perform allocation. • Manage Your Profitability and Cost Drivers How to manage drivers? Independently Managed: When drivers are discovered and selected for allocation, users can create drivers and driver logics . Drivers should be defined independently from allocation scenario, time period, and cost unit. Define Drivers Flexible Assignment: Since drivers are independently defined, a revenue/cost unit can have different driver assignments in different planning scenarios at different time periods, if the allocation logic requires. Assign Drivers Manage Drivers Easy Reporting: Driver data view is needed for business users to review and validate drivers used in the past, current, and future allocation logics. Report Drivers

In each HPCM allocation model, there are five built-in task areas which shows the work stream of HPCM application: • HPCM Allocation Model (HPCMAPP) The following activities from each task area represent the key process of creating and using an HPCM application model:
HPCM Allocation Stages and POV • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
In HPCM, stages represent the levels of allocation. Business dimensions are assigned to a stage to create the intersection where cost and revenue for that stage is stored, both as a destination from the preceding stage and the beginning point for next stage. • HPCM Allocation Stages
POV Manager in HPCM provides users the capability of creating, copying and deleting POV dimension members such as Year, Period and Scenario, etc. Allocation logic can be different at each POV intersection. • HPCM POV Manager
Deploy HPCM Databases • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
When Stages and POVs are configured, user can deploy the two Essbase cubes of HPCM: Calculation Database and Reporting Database. • Deploy HPCM Databases HPCMAPPC Data Transfer • HPCMAPP • Business Dimensions • POV Dimensions • Stages • Drivers • Assignments HPCMAPPR
Define and Select Drivers • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
In HPCM, Drivers represent how revenue and cost are allocated. During Driver Definition, user can select driver type, formula type and allocation layer. • Define and Select Drivers When a driver is defined, it needs to be assigned to corresponding planning unit (e.g. cost center) and a specific POV intersection of a stage based on the allocation logic.
Define and Select Assignment Rules • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
An assignment rule is an optional filter sets for a single destination stage. It is a collection of criteria that are applied to a dimension that override the driver logic. • Define and Select Assignment Rules Similar to Driver Selection, an assignment rule needs to be assigned to a planning unit (e.g. Cost Center) and a specific POV intersection at a stage according to allocation logic.
Execute Calculation: Allocation and Genealogy • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
When the allocation logic has been created in HPCM, user can execute calculation: • Execute Calculation: Allocation and Genealogy Allocation Calculation HPCMAPPC Data Transfer Genealogy Calculation HPCMAPPR
HPCM SmartView Validation • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
User will be able to validate allocation result through SmartView. If there was any variance as UnassignedCost, user will need to trace the allocation process and locate the cause. • HPCM SmartView Validation
HPCM Trace Allocation • Create Stages and POV • Deploy Databases • Define and Select Drivers • Define and Select Assignment Rules • Execute Calculation • Validate Result • Trace Allocation
HPCM provides user the capability of tracing each allocation path visually. In Trace Allocations, user can view how cost and revenue was allocated and see the detailed information in Properties section. • HPCM Trace Allocation
HPCM provides a batch utility to send command to HPCM processes. User can configure and apply this utility to automate HPCM tasks such as allocation calculation, genealogy calculation, copy POV data, and many more. • HPCM Automation How to automate HPCM processes? • There are a few questions that need to be considered before automating HPCM: • Where does automation fit in overall planning cycle? • What processes should be automated? • What is the validation process? • What is the error handling process? Before Automating HPCM Automating HPCM • Oracle Web Services Client provides a batch utility to perform HPCM operation on the HPCM server: hpm_ws_client.bat. This utility can be called either manually or embedded in other batch script. • The Web Service Client provides a range of operations for HPCM tasks. • For example: • getApplications: list all existing HPCM applications • getDriverDefinitions: list all Driver definitions of an HPCMapplication. • getAssignmentRuleDefinitions: retrieve all Assignment Rule Definitions • deployCube: deploy the Calculation Cube or Reporting Cube • To automate the allocation only, user need to utilize the following two key functions: processCalcScriptOptions and processGenealogyExecutionPaths
Function processCalcScriptOptions and processGenealogyExecutionPaths allow user to execute allocation calculation and genealogy calculation for a specific intersection of data. • HPCM Automation (Con’t) Allocation Calculation hpm_ws_clientprocessCalcScriptOptions <application_name> <pov_dimension_member_names> <layer_name> <clear_calculated_stage_names> <clear_all_stage_names> < generate_stage_names> <calculate_stage_names> <transfer_data_flag> Genealogy Calculation hpm_ws_clientprocessGenealogyExecutionPaths <application_name> <pov_dimension_member_names><layer_name> <paths> <overwrite_existing_flag> <execute_in_chain_flag>
Lessons Learned • Plan performance testing: Performance testing needs to be completed in a real-world environment, including real-world expected data volumes. • Build a solid foundation: The organization should have clear goals for allocation and clear owners for data. Utilize this foundation to build the HPCM solution and support it. • Reduce manual process: An end-to-end review of the allocation process is needed to analyze the need of automation. Error handling strategy needs to be evaluated before retiring manual process. • Start training early: Knowledge Transfer to support personnel is critical for the long term success of an HPCM Implementation. This includes QC Review at all phases. • Manage changes: The end users must be engaged early in the definition of the HPCM solution. Effective buy-in on the new allocation process, as well as on the sunset strategy of old allocation translates to an effective HPCM Solution. • Take a phased approach: The initial focus should be delivery of “out of the box” functionality, then steadily implement more complex functionality. Implementing customizations too quickly may lead to future issues. • Solution Support Model: Business and IT need to establish a support model around the EPM solution across organizational levels. This solution support model should represent a strong alliance between CFO and CIO executive groups. Operate Vision Plan Design Build Deliver
