How to Create Custom Problem Filters

This guide shows how to create custom problem filters on a patient record in Diagnosis & Problems. Filters allow a customisable view of problems on a patient record, and each user can select a pre-defined view, set a view as default, or create their own personal (custom) views, to support their workflow.

1. Open a patient record in Powerchart. Problems can be viewed by clicking Diagnosis & Problems in the blue menu bar on the left side of the page or by clicking on Flags in the banner bar.
   

 

2. Click … to open the advanced filter menu.
   

 

3. Click New to enable filter options to be configured.
   

 

4. Enter an appropriate name for the filter being configured.
   

 

5. Select the problem status/es that should display when this filter is used.
6. Double-click (or single click, and click Add) to include all classifications that should display when this filter is used.
Top Tip: Adding more than one classification? Hold down CTRL on your keyboard to select multiple classifications, then click Add.
7. Once the filter has been configured to your requirements, click Save.
8. The newly created filter will automatically become active, and can be changed back by using the Display dropdown menu
