After the desired ranges have been specified, press PROCEED. The HFA II-
i
will now list on the
File Directory screen only the tests matching your specified range(s), until you complete or
cancel the current operation.
The SET CURRENT RANGE feature is particularly useful if you are using alphabetical floppy disks and
you fill a disk (as in the preceding example). By selecting a range of tests to copy or move to a new
disk, instead of selecting individual tests, you may use the SELECT ALL button and copy or move the
full range selected.
Merging Patient Files
MERGE PATIENTS allows you to resolve any inconsistencies in how you entered the name or date of
birth for an individual patient. Slight differences in patient identification over a number of visits can
cause the HFA II-
i
to treat tests taken by the same patient as tests taken by different patients. As a
result, some of a patient’s tests may not be included in STATPAC or GPA analysis. For example, if
patient Patricia Smith is entered into the Patient Data 1 screen as “Smith, Patricia” on one visit but
as “Smith, Patty” on another, the HFA II-
i will think that two different patients took these tests.
To help avoid these differences, you should always enter a returning patient’s data via the RECALL
PATIENT DATA button. The MERGE PATIENTS feature is available during patient data recall to help
clear up extra patient entries. Please review
“Recalling Patient Data,” on page 3-14 for additional
information.
You may access MERGE PATIENTS on any File Directory screen when the directory displays Patient
order.
