Because NOA has written so many reports, we feel that we have encountered the majority of the issues and techniques associated with the Ulticare^® / Patient1^® / Vista / Misys CPR™ / Misys CPOE™ / QuadraMed CPR™ report writer.

Our experience has taught us that the following class curriculum achieves the highest level of competency.

• The first class focuses on teaching the mechanics of the report writer as well as how to recognize the structures in the report writer and how to navigate the application. At the end of this three day course, the participants will understand how the report writer works and will be able to navigate and make simple changes in existing reports.
• The second class deals with the report writer data dictionary and how to access and retrieve information efficiently from the dictionary. At the end of the second three day course, the participants will have developed the five most common reports required to retrieve visit and event oriented statistics.
• The third class is a UDD class which, over three days, teaches the participants how to develop and use UDDs that don't consume all of the available disk space or bog the system down with unnecessary transaction processing.
• The DED training focuses on the most common mechanisms used to insert default information, modify the required state of data elements and make data elements appear or disappear. This course also runs for three days and looks at all screen driver types.
• The HTML class demonstrates how to utilize the report writer to display information in HTML format. This course focuses on best practice and techniques for structuring intermediate files for HTML output. It also covers basic formatting and the use of styles.
• The JavaScript class takes HTML pages to the next level by making them interactive and linking them together. This course reviews some basics of the JavaScript language and includes useful techniques including refreshing pages, linking to other pages, showing and hiding data(DHTML) and functions for repetitive tasks.
• The Advanced Report Writing class is geared toward those that have completed the first three classes and have experience with the report writer tool. This class is tailored to the client's needs and is usually based on requests that the facility has received but needs assistance in completing.
