Is there a way to get average state times at the patient level versus the PCI?

You want a dashboard to show the state times of each individual patient? You can do that, but you have to set up a custom sample set for each patientID which becomes kind of ridiculous the more patients you get. Also it's not really an average anymore...

Did I misinterpret your question?

Hey Matt, thanks for the response. I think maybe I might just be reading the dashboard wrong. Does the default view for say "Average State Times" reflect the "average stay for a patient for that particular PCI?"

Sorry "stay". e.g, I'm looking at my model and i didn't think that the average stay length was really 228 minutes, but that might be true.

Well, it depends what sample set you choose. If you choose All Patients you'll get the average LOS of all the patients that have left the model. If you choose a certain PCI, it will average the LOS of all patients of that PCI that have left the model.

I've put together a sample model that shows the LOS of All Patients, PCI 1, PCI 2, and each individual patient.

Matt, thanks for the model - it was super helpful. One of the other things I'm trying to visualize is that processing times increase by patient (e.g., 1st patient is 140m, 2nd is 160, 3rd is 205, etc). Is there an easy way to do this via dashboard or should I export this into PowerBI or another tool?

You can display the average processing time and watch the average increase as the model runs (you can plot it as a line chart), or you could make a custom sample set for every patient in the model. But, if you need something else you should probably export the data. These dashboards are designed to display aggregate data, not individual data points.
