DEPARTMENT VIEWS Logically group resources into department views
DIAGNOSTICS AVAILABILITY Is the CAT scan recording? Can I process this MRI? Is the x-ray machine up?
ENHANCED ONLINE RECORD ACCESS What is the blood type of Patient X? Does Patient X have any allergies?
DOCUMENT TRENDS Enables cost effective purchase of additional CPU, memory and disk Should we migrate this app? Is the radiology server overloaded?
Assure time clocks are up Should we re-route employees to a time clock on the 6th floor? ASSURING EFFICIENT PAYROLL OPERATIONS
ISOLATE SLOW SERVICE + + Page/fault Go to appropriate rack Is it the network? Interface utilization = + Catch problems early and avoid downtime The system? The application? Application latency RESOLVED FAULT Memory utilization
