Which data set is typically updated overnight?

The Clarity data set is typically updated overnight to ensure that the information is ready and available for reporting and analysis the following day. Clarity is Epic’s relational database that is designed specifically for reporting purposes, pulling data from other Epic applications. By updating overnight, Clarity allows users to access the most current and comprehensive dataset for business intelligence and analytics the next morning.

Chronicles, on the other hand, serves as the transactional database that maintains real-time patient information and is updated constantly as data is entered. The Epic Data Warehouse is a more centralized repository that might have different update schedules depending on the specific integration and data management needs, often involving a more complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process. Optimum Data is typically more focused on operational data and may have its own update cycles that are not standard, such as more frequent updates for immediate operational needs.

Thus, when considering the typical update schedule, Clarity stands out as the data set meant for nightly synchronization to allow for efficient reporting and data retrieval the next day.
