High Risk Analysis

The High Risk Analysis screen is used to calculate the high risk score and automatically assign the various risk indicators for all vendors.

If the user is generating a high risk report and performing a high risk analysis, the results will not be the same. Either the report should be generated or the analysis should be run. For information on generating the report, consult the Generate High Risk Report topic.

After an analysis is completed, the data grid will be populated with all vendors that are enrolled or on probation (the vendor's Status value in the Vendor Reference Dictionary table is "3" or "7") and their risk criteria scores. The risk criteria scores will be updated upon completion of each subsequent analysis.

If a column encounters an error during the analysis, the system does not display that column in the Vendors data grid. During the analysis run, if a column encounters an error, the system displays the I0052 standard information message.

This column identifies the trade name of each vendor analyzed.

Risk Score column

This column displays the sum of the evaluation factors for each risk element over the threshold value for each record displayed within the data grid.

The title of the column is set to "Risk Score". The information displayed within the column is read-only.

When previously saved results are retrieved, the Edit High Risk Criterion screen cannot be accessed.

A-Z columns

These columns display the TIP Risk Indicators analyzed for each vendor record displayed within the data grid. These correspond to the indicator mappings in The Integrity Profile (TIP) File (Output). TIP indicators are marked for inclusion on the High Risk Criteria screen. These calculated values are added and become the risk score in the Risk Score column.

The title of these columns is set to "{A-Z}". The information displayed within the columns is read-only.

Some risk indicators cannot be calculated by the system. These risk indicators can be manually assigned by selecting the check boxes provided on the Edit High Risk Criterion screen.

When previously saved results are retrieved, the Edit High Risk Criterion screen cannot be accessed.

When a calculated value exceeds the threshold, the vendor is considered High Risk based on that criterion. High Risk values display with a highlighted color on the screen. The highlight color can be modified by right-clicking any cell in the data grid and selecting the Set Highlight Color menu option. The Windows Color palette screen displays.

To view or edit the high risk criteria, double-click on a cell in any of the TIP Risk Indicator columns. Or, right-click and select the Edit High Risk Criterion menu option from the menu that displays. The Edit High Risk Criterion screen displays when the menu option is selected.
