To use the Context Search tool to perform a text search of a patient's EDW reports using any keyword you choose:

1. Open the Medical Event Detail window or Path Report window for the medical event or pathology report for which you are performing data entry. See Viewing/Editing a Medical Event or Viewing/Editing a Pathology Report for instructions on how to do this.

2. Click on the Context Search button in the lower left corner of the window. On the Path Report window, the button is labeled UUHSC Context Search…. The Search ITS Reports window will open.

In performing this keyword search, the tool will only search the text fields of reports from a selected range of dates. The default range of dates only pulls up reports within a couple of days of the medical event. At this point, if you would like to change which reports are included in the cohort of reports being search (including changing the range of dates included), you may do so — see Refining the List of EDW Reports Included in a Text Search.

3. Select the specific report in which you want to perform the search in the Report field.

4. Enter the keyword you wish to search for in the report in the small text field beneath the larger report text field.

5. Click on the Find button to the right of this text field to find the first instance of the entered text in the report.

6. Click on the Find Next and Find Prev buttons as necessary to find additional instances of the text in the report.

7. When you are finished using the text search tool, close the Search ITS Reports window by clicking on the X (close) button in the upper right corner of the window.
