INPS Institute of IT Training

Searches & Reports - Part 3

This course is designed especially for Vision users who are able to run complex searches and reports, but would like to learn flexible and powerful methods of interrogating their results.

A typical Vision system holds a huge amount of clinical data, but many practices don't know how to translate this data into useful information.

This course will show Vision users how to identify invaluable information that can help to prioritise patient care, highlight problems with their data or spot trends and weaknesses at an early stage. It will even enable delegates to identify invalid or miscoded data or items entered in free text.

The course will also explain how to use Microsoft Excel to view information in easily understood graphical and table formats.

Aims and Objectives
  • Learn how to run complex clinical searches and attach appropriate Report selections
  • Understand the export and import process
  • Discover the power of Microsoft Excel and learn how to translate vast amounts of data into meaningful information
