Creating a New Patient View
Patient Views are data filters that screen your MediRecords patient database to produce a list that matches your required criteria. Any field within a patient's medical record that is populated with data can be used to refine the list of patients within your Custom View. This makes it a very useful tool in screening your patients for any required criteria.
You can generate numerous custom views, which can prove valuable for filtering patients according to particular criteria, such as age range or date of their last appointment. This tutorial will illustrate how to utilize this feature.
A new view can be accessed from the Patient Grid.
Click on Create New View or New View button.
This page contains the following fields that need to be filled
View Name

Example - To create a patient view of patients who have DVA gold and white cards and Pensioner Concession card
You can now save this view.
To access this view, go to the patient view and search for DVA Gold and White in the Patient View filter
You can now select the list and export to excel to generate the list.
Note: If there is more than one page, each page has to be selected and exported separately. Selecting one page will not select all pages automatically.
Important Note
All Concession cards (DVA/ Healthfund/ Pension) will not reflect card numbers on the exported excel sheet.
If you generate a list with card numbers, it will only give you a list of all the patients details who have the cards, and their card numbers will not be available on the list.
