Our team provides a variety of services for clinicians, faculty, and staff to access and work with UC Davis Health data.

If you think you know what data you need and you are part of UC Davis Health, please review the options below.  If the services listed do not provide the options you need, or you're unsure if the data you need are available and accessible, please request a consult from one of our data management experts. 


Reports, Dashboards, and Data Extracts

Requested by any UC Davis Health employee involved in patient care or health system operations, including nurses working on QI, Laboratory staff, Researchers, Finance, Clinical Operations, Quality & Safety, and IT Epic Applications teams.

  • There are several data sources and reporting tools that can be used to fulfill a report/dashboard/data extract request. It is important to determine the requirements for each request as it relates to scope of data, format, workflow in which the report/dashboard/extract will be used, and how often it will be run. 
  • Reports can be delivered in the Epic EMR via Reporting Workbench (MyReports) and Radar Dashboards or outside the EMR in tools such as Tableau, Crystal Reports, OneDrive, and Web Intelligence (WebI). They can be scheduled to run at regular frequencies and sent to end-users via shared folders.
  • We have a small team compared to the many requests we get every week; please allow time for your request to be fulfilled. 

The quickest way to obtain a report or dashboard it to look in our enterprise report catalog to see if something already exists or can be easily modified to meet your needs.
