Adding the Lab Result Search

Go to the Reports section, then under EMR select Connect.
Click the icon with a plus sign in the toolbar to create a new Connect report entry.
When asked to select the Report, scroll under the Patient header and find Lab Result Search. Then fill out the parameter list as follows:
1. Lab Measure to Search: Enter a part of the lab measure's name that you're hoping to search. Please note that this report will only return lab measures that match the entered string -- if you type "gluc," it will find both "GLUCOSE" and "BLOOD GLUC" but if you type "glucose" it would find "GLUCOSE" but not "BLOOD GLUC."
2. Operator: The operator you would like to apply to the entered result value. For instance, if you are looking where your lab measure has a value of less than 20, for Operator you would select "<" and for Result Value you would select 20.
3. Result Type: Here you select whether the result type you search will be an alpha value or a number. If alpha, it will only search result values that are not numbers to attempt to find the string entered in Result Value. If numeric, it will apply the logic entered in Operator and Result Value.
4. Result Value: The value you're searching for. The report will apply the operator to the result value if search for numeric results, or search for the Result Value if alpha.
5. Separate by Lab Type: This denotes whether the report should look at only the most recent lab that matches the Lab Measure to Search, or whether the report should look at each different lab measure that matches the Lab Measure to search. For instance, if given a "Gluc" and a "Glucose" whose names both match the Lab Measure to Search, if you select 'No' here, it would only return if the most recent lab value between them met the entered criteria. If you select "Yes" here, it would return the most recent "Gluc" value if it met the criteria and separately return the most recent "Glucose" value if it met the criteria.
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. Chart: The chart number from the patient's account.
2. Address 1: The first line of the patient's address.
3. Address 2: The second line of the patient's address.
4. City: The city from the patient's address.

9. Last Name: The last name of the patient.
