POLAR Tip – Using formulas

29 October 2024

Did you know that you can enhance your searches in POLAR using formulas in the filters section?

The formulas feature allows you to customise your queries for more precise results. For example, if you want to find patients aged 18 and over, you can easily apply a specific formula to filter your search effectively. This functionality streamlines your data retrieval process and enhances overall efficiency.

Below are the steps to achieve this search.

  1. Navigate to the Patient Filter heading and expand this group
  1. Select the Patient Age filter
  1. In the Search in listbox section enter the formula >=18. The selectable ages will now start from 18.
  1. Press the Enter key to select all the selectable age options and then click the tick to confirm the filter choice.

You have now selected all patients aged 18 years and older.

To discuss the above further, or if you have any questions please contact digitalhealth@emphn.org.au.
