Exporting a File from a Patient Action Set

Description

This page will detail the steps to take when trying to export a File as a result of a Patient Action Set within Population Health Management

Export File

The Export File option is basically an Excel file that includes demographics, medications, orders/results, HMP Reminders and specific problems as defined in the associated population query for each patient included in the defined patient population. As an Excel file, this list can be sorted, saved as a file, and/or printed. This feature is useful for analysis tasks and determining the reason(s) that certain patient qualify for the associated population.

When an export file is defined for a Patient Action Set that includes multiple population queries, a separate file is exported for each Population Query that is associated to the Patient Action Set. For example, if there are five Population Queries that are associated with one Patient Action Set, then the Export File function will generate five separate Excelt files. Each exported Excel file is automatically named with the same name as the associated Population Query. For example, the Breast Cancer Screening Population Query would have an Excel file named 'Breast Cancer Screening.xls'.

To add an Export File action to a Patient Action Set, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Export File tab. This will display the Export File workspace.

2. In the Select Export Preference box, select one of the following preferences:

• DoNotExportFile - indicates that an excel file is not generated for a Patient Action Set. This is the default option and is no different from not defining an Export File at all. It is included as an option in the case where an Export File is configured for the Patient Action Set and then edited to not generate an Export File.
