Report Options

The selected report appears at the top in the Select Report field. If necessary, a different report can be selected from the drop-down list in this field.

The Include Patient(s) section provides radio buttons to identify the patient or patients from a location that needs to be run for the selected report. The default patient is the currently selected patient when the Patient radio button is selected.

The Patients Located at: radio button allows for a specific patient, entire ward, or specific rooms/bed on a ward to be selected using the drop down fields. The Ward and Room fields do not apply when a specific patient is selected.

The Date Range: allows for a Start Date and an End Date to be selected by using the appropriate drop down buttons in this section. The default date for Start Date and End Date is the current date.

Start/End dates do not apply when printing the Latest Vitals by Location report, or the Latest Vitals display for a Patient report. Reports cannot be queued to print for a past date/time.

The printing device can be selected from the Device: field by typing the name of the printer and selecting the appropriate device from the list of matching results below. The entire device name does not need to be provided to start the device search. Typing in a partial name of the device will initiate the search results to display.

The Print button can be clicked to print the report when all fields are completed. An Information pop-up window appears indicating the success or failure of the queuing of the report.
