4. Search Patterns
4.1 What is a search pattern?
A search pattern is an easy way of finding information that you need frequently. You can
create a search pattern with the search pattern wizard.
There are several types of search patterns:
Patient A search pattern to find a specific patient or a specific group of patients.
Test A search pattern to find a specific test or a specific group of tests.
Examples of information you can find with a search pattern:
 At the end of the day, you want to know which ECG tests are still unconfirmed.
 For a statistical report, you want to know how many male patients of over 50 have
had an ECG in the last six months.
 Out of 2000 people called Jones, you want to find Ms Jones with insurance number
395281-01.
 For a financial overview, you want to know how many exercise ECGs were
recorded at each recording site.
