HERON Hackberry release includes emergency, inpatient and outpatient encounter data

Encounter types, such as inpatient, outpatient and emergency, are located within the Visit Details folder. Including or excluding specific encounter types increases your search precision, especially for common items such as an A1C test, by narrowing your search to a specific type of visit. Procedure tool tips are once again visible in this release.

Join us for the ​2nd Annual HERON Fishing Trip, a training workshop on July 28, 2014, 8:00AM - 5:00PM in Dykes Library, Room G026. The workshop will include both classroom and hands-on training covering data types, basic and advanced searching, analysis tools, and future work. ​Register for the event.

Any publication that results from a project utilizing HERON should cite grant support (CTSA Award # UL1TR000001).
