| Advantages/Disadv. |
Comprehensive and detailed queries are possible, but the work queue is considerable. Building elements of the query in Reporting Workbench may help. |
Good for identifying active or recent patients that meet specific criteria (sepsis, smokers, charting deficiencies, etc). Good for returning extensible results in Excel-friendly formats, for filtering. Slow when looking at more than a few weeks of data. |
Fast way to browse cohorts of patients based on diagnosis or facility and drill down to get details. |
