# Dashboard

> See the high-level case distribution for a chosen procedure, condition, or DRG.

## Overview

The Dashboard gives you the high-level shape of a single domain item — a procedure,
condition, or DRG. It's the "understand this at a glance" view: typical values across
key metrics, summarized as central tendencies (mean and median) rather than a full
time series.

## When to use it

* You want a quick, sanity-checkable picture of a procedure, condition, or DRG.
* You're starting an analysis and want to build confidence in the data before moving
  to Analytics or Predictions.
* You want a fast read on typical cost, revenue, length of stay, and surgical time for
  one item.

## Inputs

* **Domain** — `procedure`, `condition`, or `drg`.
* **A specific item** in that domain — selected via the
  [Entity Resolver](/workflows/entity-resolver) (resolve the name to an ID first).
* **Metric** — the financial or operational measure to summarize.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a domain">
    Select procedure, condition, or DRG.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the item">
    Use the search box to resolve the name, then pick the specific item.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the distribution">
    Review the summarized distribution — central tendencies across the key metrics.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Outputs

A compact distribution summary for the selected item, including central-tendency rows
(such as mean and median) across columns like:

* the selected financial metric (e.g. revenue, cost, or profit),
* length of stay (days),
* surgical/operating time (minutes).

Margin-style metrics are shown as a percentage; financial metrics are shown in
currency.

## Notes & caveats

* The Dashboard summarizes the **shape** of an item; for trends over a date range or
  breakdowns by surgeon/payor/provider/client, use [Analytics](/workflows/analytics).
* The set of metrics available on this view is intentionally focused. Hospital-only
  metrics depend on your organization type.
* Results are scoped to your organization.
