Charts in a Report Template

Overview

The chart function is used to add a chart into a subject report.  The chart can have multiple variables and can utilize a left y-axis, right y-axis, or both.  The x-axis is time using the encounter dates.

Steps to create a chart

1. Click Add/Edit a chart
2. The chart can be set up using a scale on the left y-axis, right y-axis, or both
3. The x-axis is automatically set to time matching the encounter dates
4. Left Axis tab
1. Either select the variables to display on the chart or enter the variable codes prefaced with a # and separated by commas

2. Axis Mode:  select an option from the drop down.  If Manual is selected, enter a Min and Max. 

5. Right Axis tab

      2. MEDICATIONS:  Not applicable for charting
