Data Entry
The Data Entry module ensures ease of use, speed, flexibility, and, above all, accuracy.
-
An unlimited number of forms can be created with a visual tool kit. Forms can be customized for use by various departments within an organization.
-
All of the information related to an entry can be inserted in the form with a single click of the mouse.
-
The form is organized by categories according to dataset requirements (e.g., STS). Category tabs and a Field Finder utility allow the user to navigate to any category and field within the form with a click of the mouse.
-
Data entry is facilitated by a utility that assigns and displays keyboard shortcuts to each possible option in a field as the field is activated.
-
A field information panel defines each field and all of its possible options.
-
User-defined Lookup fields are connected to editable databases.
-
Once data has been entered in a field, the cursor automatically advances to the next field. If incorrect entries have been made, warning messages are displayed.
-
A Validation panel allows the user to quickly identify and navigate to fields that may have been left blank or contain "unacceptable" information.
-
A powerful and flexible search utility enables patient records to be found based on user-specified search criteria. The search results can be further redacted by applying a query that identifies groups with a specific set of characteristics.

Query Builder
Queries are used to identify patient populations with particular sets of characteristics. Filters, or sets of characteristics, can be combined to create queries with various degrees of complexity. The simple and elegant design of the Query Builder allows users to define patient populations using a simple drag and drop method. Highly complex data can be summarized in seconds. Queries can be accessed from every module in Outcomes, and can be applied to patient lookup, data and summary tables, charts, statistical calculations, smart notes, and reports.
Additional features:
-
Queries are optimized to be used with large patient populations.
-
Queries and filters can be generated automatically.
-
Query results are displayed in percentages and counts.
-
Query definitions are automatically provided.
-
Queries can be easily edited.

Data Tables
Users can organize and access the records in the database by creating custom data tables.
-
Patient records can be organized by any field and displayed in fully editable custom tables.
-
A powerful search engine allows users to find specific data with definable search criteria.
-
Queries may be applied to data tables to identify groups with particular sets of characteristics.
-
A highly versatile table editor allows creation of customized borders, background colors, fonts, and alignments.
-
Tables can be converted to HTML, making creation of Internet and Web-enabled summaries easy.
-
Data import and export is accomplished with a single mouse click.
-
An exact copy of the table can be exported to Microsoft Office TM suite applications.

Summary Tables
Summary tables are arrays in which rows and columns can consist of patient populations or summarized data. Each cell in the array can then be the product of overlapping populations or a summary of data for a given population. The most complex arrays can be created in seconds by simply dragging and dropping fields onto the table.
-
Text, background color, and the contents of Summary Tables can be fully formatted to create highly customized presentations of your data.
-
Custom graphs and charts from a summary table are created with a single mouse click.
-
Statistical calculations can be included in each cell.
-
Contents of the table can be exported to HTML, RTF, or Microsoft Office applications.

Charts
You can create truly outstanding visual representations of your data with the advanced chart editing features of Outcomes. Charts are created from Summary Tables and Statistical Calculations with a single mouse click. Virtually every aspect of a chart can be customized to suit your requirements. Chart style galleries, background colors and images, full font control for titles, axes labels and marks, and adjustable 3-D perspectives are but a few of the features of this flexible and easy-to-use module.
When queries are applied to Summary Tables or Reports, all associated charts are automatically redrawn to reflect the population specified by the query.
