I am less experienced at using AC than some others on the UserBoard, however I am very computer literate and I've looked into this.
At first look, there is no ready built means of data mining. I presume you are talking about finding A1C's, BP's, cholesterol's, which patients are on ACE-I's, etc. I further presume this is for P4P, since you are probably confident that the care you provide is excellent.
There is a means to monitor this data for selected individual patients, however there is no statistical analysis built in to search across multiple patients.
One could construct Excel flowsheets, but I'm quite certain this would not get you what you are looking for.
Other users please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe the type of data collection Bill is seeking does not exist within AC. Part of the low cost associated w/ AC is that it's not a perfect all-in-one system. It's best as an electronic SOAP note and it's ok as an electronic filer. It's less perfect as an office management system/billing system.
