The Patient Clinical report provides an overview of medications, allergies, and other clinical data for selected patient groups.

This report is very flexible due to the wide variety of filters, so you'll want to take your time and ensure you set these appropriately.

Filter Options

Open

Open

• Filter Providers/Filter Offices: You can use these items to filter the report results by the provider/office listed in the Pop-Ups tab of the Patient record. If the provider/office is set to None in the patient tab, it will filter by the Account provider/office instead.
  If you have the Reports preference "Hide Inactive Providers from Report List" enabled, patients with this provider set will not pull into the report if the Providers filter is checked, due to the Provider not being active.

• Filter Problem Lists: You can choose to filter the report to show only patients with the selected diagnosis codes or other items from your Problem List reference. If a patient does not have any information listed in their Problem List, they will be omitted from the report unless the Filter Problem Lists checkbox is unchecked.

• Filter Medications: This filter allows you to view only patients who have the selected medication. This only includes active meds, unless the "include inactive prescription" box next to the date selection is checked. If the checkbox next to Filter Medications is checked, patients without medications will be excluded from the report; uncheck this checkbox to include patients without any medications associated to their record.

• Filter Allergies: This list allows you to filter the report to show only patients with the selected allergies. As with the other filters, if this item is checked, patients with no allergies will be omitted from the report. In order to include patients without allergies, the checkbox next to Filter Allergies must be unchecked.

• Filter Follow-Up Type (Filter Recall Type in MacPractice DDS): You can use this filter to see only patients with the selected Recalls/Follow-ups on the report. Uncheck this filter to view patients without a Recall/Follow-up.

You can choose to filter the report by Prescription date (the date a prescription was created), Follow-up Date (the date the patient's follow-up is due), both, or Date of Birth. Please note, if you include a date range and the patient does not have the selected item (either prescription or follow-up), they will not be displayed on the report.

• Start Age/End Age: Use these menus to filter the report to display only patients within a given age range.

• Include Inactive Prescriptions: When checked, both inactive and active medications will be included in the Medications filter. When unchecked, the report will only look for patients who active medications match the selected criteria.

• Problem List: The Problem List column lists the relevant problem codes from the patient's record that have been entered into MacPractice. As with Medications, only problems that are selected in the Filter Problem List menu will be listed on the report. If the Problem List filter is disabled, all problem codes will be listed.

• Lab Test List: The next column lists the type of lab tests performed. For Pathology labs, it will simply list fields from the lab result, rather than the specific test.
