Overview
Subject reports are powerful ways to summarize an individual subject's data. All fields are accessible in a subject report and can include data within and across Encounters, including medications. For patient registries, Subject Reports are typically used as a mechanism to generate automated clinic notes. For research studies, this feature is used to generate event reports (e.g., serious adverse events; SAE).
The first step is to plan the look, layout and functionality of the Report. In terms of the look and layout, most features of a basic word processor are available (e.g., tables, color, images, etc.). It's important to actually build a prototype report in a word processor. This is critical for moving from a generalized, verbal description of a report, to what the report will actually look like and do.

Nearly anything that can be done on the web, can be done in subject reports. Common functionality includes:

- Branding the report (e.g., logos, colors, etc.)
- Summarizing key components of a patient's encounter(s)
- Comparing one or more encounters
- Generating calculations (e.g., % change over time, raw scores to T-scores, etc.)
- Listing current medications
