 RECIPE Steps Filters:











We have now created a filter to find all indigenous patients older than 18, with no diagnosis of diabetes, Heart Failure, CVD or chronic renal disease. All of these patients may be eligible for the My Health For Life program. To see a list of all patients, click “Recalculate”



Further filters can be applied to reduce the number of patients found, for example only active patients (3 visits in 2 years) or only patients who have been to the clinic in the last 6 months can be selected by adding to the filter criteria.


To see all patients click on “View Population”:


 

This will show you the “Patient Re-identification report” which can be exported to MS Excel for further use.



This recipe can be further modified by using additional criteria such as only those patients with high BP or high cholesterol, please see our other My Health For Life recipes for details here: My Health For Life Recipes
