Search options

Text search

The SMAT GUI contains HL7 and HPRIM search options for a text-based search and an address search. The default search is case-insensitive.

Example:

"Patient Name" = "Doe"

Address search

The address search can use segment.field# notation or a field description.

Field descriptions are matched from the HL7 fields database.

You can use substrings. For example, order would match placer order number, filler order number, and any other field name containing order.

The address is case-insensitive.

You can search subfields for more direct matches.

Aliases

An alias is created to associate the segment.field number to a common name. For example:

  • PID.5.1 = Lastname
  • PID.3.1 = MRN
  • ORC.2.1 = Accession Number

A list of standard aliases is provided. You can also create and save custom aliases. This is configured on the Site Preferences > Aliases tab.

Variant search

Variant formats can also be searched. This search uses the site first. If the variant is not found in the site, then the primary is then searched.
