RECIPE Steps Filters:
- In the Start Age box type 18 to only show patients older than 18.
- Apply the ‘Indigenous’ filter on the ‘Ethnicity’ tab.
- OPTIONAL: In the "General" filter tab click on 'Active (3x in 2yrs)' - as this will only show those patients with at least 3 visits in the last 2 years
...
- Click on "Conditions" tab under Diabetes select “No”
- Select "No" for Heart Failure
- Select “No” for all conditions listed under the CVD group
- Select “No” for “Chronic Renal Failure”
- Click on the 'Date Range (Results) filter to only show results that have been recorded in a specified date range, in this case in the last 24 months. This will move all patients with results older than 24 months to the 'not recorded' part of the reports and avoids listing patients with old results.
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.
