I understand that there will be a health maintenance component of Version 4. Maybe this will facilitate data mining.
I currently produce a quarterly report for our Ozarks Technical Community College Health and Wellness Clinic. The report is presented to the board of directors and to the president of the college. I actually asked that this be put into my contract to self discipline myself to complete the task. It is relatively easy to data mine basic data with my small family practice using AC. Since I store the current and past HgbA1C, cholesterol and components on the Summary sheet, I pull all of my diabetics with the Search button, click on the individual patients and check their HgbA1C's, click on Hyperlipidemia and check the lipids, click on hypertension and so on. It seems a bit laborious, but is sure a lot easier than attempting to do this with paper charts. It would be great to be able to pull it all up with a single action.
We can further encourage Jon at the ACUC to enhance the data mining capabilities of AC.
