The Ocean eReferral platform provides some analytics automatically to help provide an understanding of consult and/or referral patterns, decline rates, wait times, etc. If you would like to set up your form to set additional analytics values now is a good time to do so.
This is an an optional part of setting up eConsults and/or eReferrals.
The Ocean eReferral platform de-identifies data automatically to provide you with an understanding of consult and/or referral patterns, decline rates, wait times, etc. You can export this data at anytime from the "Reports" section of the Admin Settings page in the Ocean Portal. For more details on exporting analytics, please refer to "Accessing eReferral Analytics".
The following three types of referral analytics available to users:
Core Analytics: These analytics are always captured by the Ocean Platform by default, and are available for all eRequests (eReferral and eConsult) without referral form customization. A list of core analytics can be found below.
Custom (ax_) Analytics: This is a library of custom analytics that has been pre-defined to assist in ensuring data consistency across referral forms. These analytics can be manually defined within the referral form, and are always automatically included in the default analytics export file. A full list of 'ax_' analytics can be found below.
Custom (fx_) Analytics: These are custom analytics that you can create and define in the referral form, and are only accessible by creating a custom Export Template.
Note: A full data dictionary is available for download within the Accessing eReferral Analytics support article.
Core Analytics
The core set of analytics captured in the de-identified record are in the table below.
| Column Header | User Friendly Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| referralRef | Reference | The unique reference number for the referral in Ocean. |
| referralCreationDate | Sent Date | The date the referral was sent OR resubmitted by the referring provider. This value may be the back-dated referral date entered on an inbound (faxed) request. It is used as the starting reference point for wait time calculations. |
| referralInitialCreationDate | Initial Sent Date | The initial sent date of the referral from a clinical perspective. This value may be the back-dated referral date entered on an inbound (faxed) request. Unlike the Sent Date, this value does not change with resubmissions. |
| oceanCreationDate | Referral Creation Date | the date the referral was created in Ocean. Could be the date it was sent in Ocean from the health map, or the date it was transcribed from fax. |
| modificationDate | Last Modification Date | The date/time the referral was most recently updated (in ISO 8601 format). |
| masterReferral | Source Referral Marker for Child Referrals | The status of the referral as either a Master record or a Child record. Marked as "TRUE" if the referral is a master (i.e it's been split into multiple child referrals), "FALSE" if not. |
| patientId | Patient ID | The unique reference number for the patient in Ocean. If the patient's Health Card # is omitted when the referral is sent, the patientID will not be generated. |
| siteNum | Owner Site Number | The Ocean site number of the site currently managing the referral as a receiving provider. |

| claimedWaitTimeDaysLow | Claimed Wait 1 - Low Estimate | The lower end of the range of wait times claimed in the health service listing, set by the recipient site when triaging the referral (e.g. 7, if 1-2 weeks). This will be wait 1 for referrals with multiple health services. |
| claimedWaitTimeDaysHigh | Claimed Wait 1 - High Estimate | The higher end of the range of wait times claimed in the health service listing, set by the recipient site when triaging the referral (e.g. 14, if 1-2 weeks). This will be wait 1 for referrals with multiple health services. |
| claimedWaitTime2DaysLow | Claimed Wait 2 - Low Estimate | The lower end of the range of wait 2 times claimed in the health service listing, set by the recipient site when triaging the referral (e.g. 7, if 1-2 weeks). |
| claimedWaitTime2DaysHigh | Claimed Wait 2 - High Estimate | The higher end of the range of wait 2 times claimed in the health service listing, set by the recipient site when triaging the referral (e.g. 14, if 1-2 weeks). |

The "DARC Wait 1b Days" is also subtracted from this calculation. |
| wait2Days | Wait 2 Days | As defined by the standard "Wait 2", this is the number of days calculated between the first scheduled appointment and the second appointment date (scheduledAppointment2). If there is a "ax_decisionToTreat" date, Ocean will use this value, instead of the first scheduled appointment date, for the Wait2 calculation.
