Qualifiers Reports

Report on patients, or patient numbers with clinical items in their clinical records with particular qualifiers.

Table 1. Qualifiers reports
Report > Qualifiers Description
Anaemic Children 5-15 Years Analyses the most recent haemoglobin result for all patients aged between 5 and 15 years. The results are ordered by outcome using the following criteria:
  • Child aged 5 to 7 years at the end of the reporting period whose latest Hb recorded between two specified dates was less than 115.
  • Child aged 8 to 11 years at the end of the reporting period whose latest Hb recorded between two specified dates was less than 119.
  • Male child aged 12 to 15 years at the end of the reporting period whose latest Hb recorded between two specified dates was less than 125.
  • Female child aged 12 to 15 years at the end of the reporting period whose latest Hb recorded between two specified dates was less than 118.
BMI Analysis Reports on BMIs for children from 0 to 228 months.
Patients are only included if they have a BMI recorded. They are categorised according to their latest BMI and which percentile this was at the time of recording. Categories are:
  • Less than 5th percentile
  • Less than 15th percentile but more than 5th percentile
  • More than 85th percentile but less than 95th percentile
  • More than 95th percentile
  • Within 15th to 85th percentile'
Column SEX refers to the patient sex:
  • F=Female
  • M=Male
  • D=Indeterminate
  • I=Intersex
  • N=Not Stated
  • U=Unknown / Inadequately Described
  • Blank: Not recorded

If the sex is listed as anything other than Female, the male percentiles are used by default.

Clinical Item Group Analysis Lists all patients who have a clinical item within a selected clinical item group.

Use this report to check on the frequency of testing for patients with a specific chronic disease. For example, to monitor HbA1c checking for diabetes patients, select a DIABETES group and HbA1c .

This is a patient-based report. It lists patients once only, regardless of the number of times group clinical items have been recorded for the patient. The report then further shows if each patient has had a specific qualifier recorded in the previous 6 months, 12 months or two years. There is an option to include another qualifier (for example, select 'HbA1c (%)' as the qualifier and 'HbA1c' as the alternative qualifier to include both measurements recorded in % and those recorded as mmol/mol) - either qualifier will be considered.

Latest Value Selects only the most recent result for all patients with a selected qualifier.
The report shows:
  • Patient name
  • Date of outcome (qualifier)
  • Outcome (qualifier value)

The results are ordered by outcome which makes it particularly useful for Dropdown list, Yes, No and Tick Box qualifiers as well as Date qualifiers.

Reports can be selected by
  • Qualifier type (except numeric - see note above)
  • Date range (reporting period)
  • Encounter place
  • Procedure - selected procedure or all procedures
  • Date range of procedure performed
  • Current status of patient
  • Sex
  • Aboriginality
  • Age of patient (at end of reporting period)
  • Current locality group
  • Current locality
  • Record storage site

For numeric qualifiers, use the Selected Qualifier (numeric) report instead.

Latest Value (memo) Selects only the most recent result for all patients (of a selected status) with a selected memo qualifier.

Use this report for clinical audit.

The report shows patient names with date and clinical item type used to record the selected qualifier.

The results are ordered by outcome.

Latest Value (numeric) Selects only the most recent result for all patients (of a selected status) with a selected numeric qualifier.

Use this report for clinical audit.

The report shows patient names with date and clinical item type used to record the selected qualifier.

The results are ordered by outcome.

Latest Value Count Selects only the most recent result for all patients with a selected patient status and qualifier type.

Use this report to count the number of clients with particular qualifier values, for example smoking status.

The report does not show patient names, only outcomes and numbers of clients.

The results are ordered by outcome which makes it particularly useful for Dropdown list, Yes, No and Tick Box qualifiers.

For numeric qualifiers, use the Selected Qualifier (numeric) report instead.

Patient Measurement History Lists all of the previous measurements for a specific numeric measurement for a particular patient from most recent to the earliest.
Patient Multiple Qualifier History (Numeric) Lists the values of up to ten numeric qualifiers over a period of time for a specific patient.

Measures recorded at the same time are shown 'in line' with the date they were recorded. The most recent measures are shown at the top.

Selected Qualifier Selects all patients with a selected qualifier recorded between two dates and displays the results recorded.

The report shows patient names with date and clinical item type used to record the selected qualifier.

The results are ordered by outcome which makes it particularly useful for Dropdown list, Yes, No and Tick Box qualifiers as well as Date qualifiers.

For numeric qualifiers, use the Selected Qualifier (numeric) report instead.

Selected Qualifier (memo) Selects all patients with a selected memo qualifier recorded between two dates and displays the results recorded.

The report shows patient names with date and clinical item type used to record the selected qualifier.

Selected Qualifier (numeric) Selects all patients (of selected status) with a selected numeric qualifier recorded between two dates and displays the results recorded.

Use this report for clinical audit.

The report shows patient names with date and clinical item type used to record the selected qualifier.

The results are ordered by outcome.

Value Count Counts values for a selected qualifier type within a selected date range and patient status.

Use this report to count the number of clients with particular qualifier values, for example the positive results and the number of negative results that have been recorded for a particular test.

The report does not show patient names, only outcomes and numbers of clients.

The results are ordered by outcome which makes it particularly useful for Dropdown list, Yes, No and Tick Box qualifiers.

Sites that record transport using a qualifier for 'Transport Place' may also use this report to count the number of times clients have been transported to each place.

With Selected Numeric values Lists all living patients who have a selected numeric qualifier value in a selected range.

Use It could be used to report everyone who has a particular qualifier, for example, 'Body Mass Index' between 20 and 30.
