Adding Lost to Follow-up Report

  1. Go to the Reports section, then under EMR select Connect.
  2. Click the icon with a plus sign in the toolbar to create a new Connect report entry.
     


  3. When asked to select the Report, scroll under the Patient header and find Lost to Follow-up. Then fill out the parameter list as follows:



    1. Code in Past X Months: The patient has a qualifying procedure (i.e., one that's in one of the selected Past Code Groups) with a service date in the last X months, where X is the number entered. If the user types '24' in the first parameter and selects 'E& M' in the second, the report will look at patients who have an E & M code billed with a service date in the last two years.  
    2. Past Code Group: A multi-select of code groups, this allows a user to find only patients who have had only codes in specific code groups billed in the past X months.
    3. No Appts in X Days: The patients returned also don't have appointments scheduled in the next X days, where X is the number entered in this parameter. The report attempts to find patients who the practice may need to follow up with to schedule additional appointments. 
    4. Diagnosis List: This allows users to put in a diagnosis list to filter patients on. If a user enters a diagnosis list (i.e., "N184, N185"), the report will only return patients who have one of the entered codes in their current problem list. If a user instead enters "all," the report will not filter against patient diagnoses.

  4. Select the desired fields for the report to show, or simply select 'All.' Then hit 'Finish,' then 'Close,' to complete adding the report. The available fields are as follows:

    1. Account: The chart number from the patient's account. 
    2. First Name: The first name of the patient. 
    3. Middle Name: The middle name of the patient.
