Create Query Group Overview

The Create Query Group function enables you to create groups of patients based on criteria that you select.

Members of a query group may change automatically if patients no longer fit the criteria or if patients begin to fit

the criteria.

You can filter your query group using data that is captured in patient records. For example, you can create a query

group of female patients who are older than 18 with a given A1c level. In general, the more parameters that you

specify, the fewer patients you have in your query group. You can preview the estimated number of patients who

match your query as you add or subtract each parameter.

As you add parameters to your query, you build an expression using the values AND and OR. When you use AND

to join multiple parameters, only the patients who match all of the parameters are included in your query group.

When you use OR to join multiple parameters together, patients who match either of the parameters are included

in the query group. For example, consider the different results from the following queries:

● Female patients AND Over 18

includes only females who are older than 18

● Female patients OR Over 18

includes all of the females in your database and all of the patients, including

males, in your database older than 18
