Identify patients with Allergy or Smoking Status NOT recorded

Recipe Name:	Identify patients with Allergy or Smoking Status NOT recorded
Rationale:	Recording of allergy and smoking status is a quality initiative in general practice and there are practice accreditation measures around these measurements.
Target:	>= 90% active population with allergy and smoking status recorded
CAT Starting Point:	CAT Open Population Extract Loaded and Extract Pane “Hidden” Filter Pane open and under the ‘General’ tab ‘Active Patients’ (3x <2 years) selected (this step can be omitted if you want to search for all patients but for accreditation only active patients are considered).

RECIPE Steps:

Click the 'Recalculate' icon in the top right corner to apply the 'active (3x in 2yrs)' filter if selected. This will remove all patients that have less than 3 visits in the previous 2 years recorded at your clinic.
In the reports pane select the 'Allergies' tab and click on the 'nothing recorded' slice of the graph

This will list all active (if selected on the general filter tab) patients that have no allergy status entered.

For smoking status the process is exactly the same only that you use the ‘Smoking’ tab on the reports pane.
