Custom Filters are filters created in PAT CAT and sent to your CAT4. This functionality is designed to support continuous quality improvement by providing ready made filters to target patients of interest. Details of the filters should be discussed with the organisation you are sharing your de-identified data with, as they can create the filters to meet your requirements/interests.
These filters will make it very easy to identify a group of patients at your practice based on the filter criteria. Once identified you can use Recall CAT - SMS and Voice Messaging for CAT4 to invite the patients to come in for a check up or you can create prompts in Topbar using CAT PLUS PROMPTS.
Your organisation will have to be licensed for this functionality and once you log onto CAT4 you will see the new filter tab:

If you are looking at pathology or other results, remember that while the filter includes only patients with results older than 12 months (by using the Date Range (Results) Filtering), your pathology or measures report will show these results unless you apply additional filters. In our example we are only showing those patients with no BP AND Cholesterol in the last 12 months, so it uses a build in Cross Tabulation Report as well. |
Custom filters can be saved either as they are or in combination with other filter criteria, by simply using the 'Saved Filters' tab and saving the new filter following the steps described here: Saving Filter Criteria.
These filters are dynamic, so if you have new patients who match the conditions in the filter, they will be included in the new data extract and picked up by the filter.
