Sorting By Patient Information

You can easily sort the grid by a patient characteristic, such as gender or location, to display the group of patients you need.

The list of options that display in the Sort By list is determined by the parameters selected in the Show setting. For example, if DOB is not currently shown in the patient information, it is not available as a sort parameter. Refer to Customizing the Patient Information Display for details regarding the Show setting.

  1. Click the Sort/Show icon in the patient grid.

    The Sort/Show dialog displays.
  2. Select Sort By: in the Sort/Show dialog.

    The Sort By option list displays.
  3. Select one parameter from the Sort By list to organize the grid by this parameter. For example, select LOS to display the patient list in order from the shortest to longest length of stay in the facility.
    By default, the Sort list will always include patient name, MRN, location, and LOS, as well as two columns in the grid; Status, and Past Rounds. Otherwise, you can sort by any of the characteristics chosen for display.

    The following table describes the parameters in the Sort list.
