Step 1. Build Cohorts

1

Click 'Administration' from the main toolbar.

 

2

Under 'Manage Report Definitions,' select 'Cohort Queries'.


3

Our first cohort will contain all male patients. Select 'Gender Query' by clicking the plus sign next to the cohort category.


4

Type the name of your cohort under 'Name.' In this case, we will name it 'Male Cohort'. You can type a more detailed description under 'Description'.

 

5

We want to include only males in this cohort. As such, under 'Properties,' set the Male property to be 'True' and a fixed value. If you want to decide whether to include males or not each time you run your report, you can set this as a parameter. We do not want to include females or patients of unknown gender in the report, so check 'False'. Click 'Save.'
*Previewing the cohort can show you whether there are any patients in the database to those specifications. You can generate a preview by clicking 'Preview' and selecting 'Run.'



6

We will now build our second cohort, 'Farmers', which will contain all the patients whose main occupation is farming. Go back to the 'Cohort Query' page by clicking the 'Cohort Queries' link on the toolbar above.


7

This type of query is a 'Coded Observation Query.' Click the plus sign next to the 'Coded Observation Query' to create the Farmers cohort.


8

Type 'Farmer Cohort' under name, and under properties, add in the observation 'MAIN ACTIVITY.' This is a fixed value, as you do not want to change the observation each time you run the report. Also, set the type of observation to 'Last' to take only the latest occupation of the patients into account. Under 'Constraint', set the comparison to a fixed value, the comparison to 'IN,' and the value to compare against to 'Farmer.' This sets the observation of 'Main activity' to the value 'Farmer.' All of these fields are fixed values because we do not want the choice of changing what the cohort contains each time the report is run.
We will leave the 'When' and 'Other' categories blank because the dates of observation and location will be set by the report parameters, which will be described in a later step.


9

We will now create our final cohort for this report, the 'In Heart Failure Program Cohort', which will contain all patients who are in the Heart Failure Program on a specific date. Go back to the 'Cohort Query' page and click the plus sign next to 'In Program Query'.


10

Under 'Name', type 'In Heart Failure Program.' Under 'Properties', set Programs to a fixed value and the 'Heart Failure Program.' Under 'Or Specifically', since we want to check the patients in the heart failure program on a specific date, set the property as a Parameter, as we may change the date each time we run the program, and the label as 'effectiveDate.' Then click 'Save'.

You are now ready to build an Indicator.

Step 2. Build Indicators

We will now build the 'Farmers Indicator', which will return the percent of farmers in the Heart Failure Program at the report 'End Date' and in a specific location.

...

 You are now ready to build a Dimension.

Step 3. Build Dimension

We will now create a dimension to restrict the Farmers Indicators to only males.

1

Under 'Administration' and 'Mange Report Definitions', click 'Dimension Definitions'.


2

Under 'Dimensions Manager', click 'Dimension' to add a new dimension.


3

Under 'Dimension Option', create a label under Key. In this case, we will make it 'Males Cohort', and the CohortDefinition will be Male Cohort.

Step 4. Create Report

We will now create the final Period Indicator Report.

This step-by-step tutorial will guide the user in the creation of a custom Indicator Report, using a Cohort Indicator with Dimensions Report as an example. This example will highlight how parameters are used in reports. See Understanding Parameters and Indicator Report Definition for details.
