Function documentationFilters in Patient Groups

 

The system uses the filters to check all determined patients in the patient groups according to defined rules. You can specify that the system is to display an icon on the patient card or in a column of the list view when the filter applies.

To color highlight patients to whom a filter applies, the user can, for example, choose one of the following filters via a pushbutton:

  • Surgery Tomorrow

    The filter applies today to all patients for whom a planned clinical order of the type Surgery exists for the next day.

  • Today's Labs

    The filter applies today to all patients for whom a lab document exists with today as its creation date

  • Planned Discharge

    The filter applies today to all patients for whom a planned discharge exists.

Note Note

To search for specific entries, such as patient names or diagnoses, use the search entry field Filter on Patient Group.
