Flexi reports

Create your own demographics report based on a combination of criteria.

Report overview

A Flexi Report is created using a wizard that helps you define the criteria and how that criteria is logically linked to the rest of the report. There are 8 criteria selection screens and a demographics filter that can be applied to the entire report to filter the results based on attributes like age, gender and patient status. Under most circumstances, you will only need to define one or two criteria to find the data you require. 

The criteria are Current ICPC Code Selection, Current Problem Text Selection, Measurement Value Selection, Prescription Selection, Encounter RFE Code Selection, Encounter RFE Text Selection, Service Selection and Excluded Services Selection. 

The and/or selections

Each of the 8 criteria screens has an "or"/"and" selector with the options Or the Following Criteria/And the Following Criteria. These options are used to determine if a patient must meet the criteria on both selection screens (and) or one of the selection screens (or) to be included in the report.

Create a report

To create a new Flexi report:

1. Go to Zedmed's Reception tab.
2. Select Clinical Records.
3. Select Reports > Flexi Report.
   The Flexi Report screen will open.
4. Select New.
   The Flexi Report Design Wizard will open.
5. Complete the Report Name and Description screen.
   All reports must be uniquely named. The Report Description will appear on the Flexi Reports selection screen and in the header of the final report. It commonly summarises what the report is looking for and, in some instances, its purpose.
6. Complete the Demographics Filter screen.
   This screen allows the report to include patients with a special status (i.e. Casual, Archived and/or Deceased) and to filter the report based on gender or age. By default, patients of all ages and genders are included in the final report.
   This global filter overrides any other criteria specified on later screens regardless of what those criteria are.
   
7. Complete the Encounter Date Range Selection.
   This screen applies an encounter date range filter. This is a global override filter that's applied regardless of the content in the later screens.
   
8. Fill in the 8 criteria screens.
   The screens are Current ICPC Code Selection, Current Problem Text Selection, Measurement Value Selection, Prescription Selection, Encounter RFE Code Selection, Encounter RFE Text Selection, Service Selection and Excluded Services Selection.
   Each screen follows the same selection style format. The example below shows the Current ICPC Code Selection screen.
