RECIPE Steps Filters:
- In the Start Age box type 18 to only show patients older than 18.
- 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 patients older than 18, with no diagnosis of diabetes, Heart Failure, CVD or chronic renal disease and results from the last two years. To apply the filter, click “Recalculate”
High BP
- click on the "Measures/BP" tab and then on the '>140/90' part of the graph to select it
You can now click on 'Export' in the top right of the report to see a list of all patients with a BP results above 140/90 in the last two years.
