Patient Trending Report


Accessing the Report


From Laboratory Reports > Patient Reports Screen - Click on Laboratory in the top left corner, then Reports on the far right.  

 

Select the Patient Trending Report under Patient Reports, to view a trend report for a particular patient.  

 

Search for a Patient


Search for a patient by Owner Last Name or Patient Name, or a combination of those two fields. Click on Go once you have entered in your search criteria. 

Important Tip:  To open the search range and allow for any misspellings that may have occurred at lab data entry, you can use partial strings to search for a patient.  For example, if searching for patient = Powder and Owner = Smith, we recommend entering partial strings of the names, like this:  Owner Name = smi; Patient Name = pow. 

This will find all patients names in the database that begin with those three letters in the owner and patient name fields.



Select Results to Create Patient Trending Report

Search results are displayed by most recent date. Select the results that you are searching for by checking off the box on the right hand side. Once you have made your selections, click on the Actions drop down menu and select “Trend Report”. Your Patient Trending Report will open in a new window.


NOTE: You can only create a Patient Trending Report with up to 6 results. If you have more than 6 results you would like to trend, a second report will need to be created for the additional results.



TIP: You can also change the order of the display by clicking on the column headers. You can sort by Owner Name, Patient Name, Species and Breed. If you click on one of these columns, it will sort that column alphabetically.

Reading the Patient Trending Report

Your Patient Trending Report will display the most recent results, left to right. You can link to the original result file (for results that are still live in our database- within the last 15 months only) by clicking on the accession number.  Although the Trending Report will show results for that patient as far back as 3 years ago, not all of those results are still active on the Zoasis site.  If you receive an error when trying to pull up the original result file, this means that it is no longer live in our database and it has been archived.  If you need a copy of that result, you can call Antech Customer Service to request the archived result. 



Just like reading the original results online, the Patient Trending report will show bold and color coded abnormals so that they are easy to locate.  Notice in the screen shot below, for the Alkaline Phosphatase and Globulin results are bold and red (High) and the A/G Ration is bolded and green (Low). 



Print a Patient Trending Report

You can print a Patient Trending Report by clicking on the Actions drop down menu and selecting “Print”. This will create the report in as a PDF document which you can print and share with your client or save in your patient’s medical file.



Select the printer icon from the tool bar to print off the report.
