Modifying a Filter (Enable/Disable, Edit and Remove)

At any time, you may enable/disable, edit or remove an individual filter from your query.

To continue to build your query, select an additional filter category, for example, Encounters.

Tip: Begin typing to filter the selection criteria. For example, in the Inpatient Service Location field, type 5D to narrow your search. DataDirect includes aliases for locations, e.g., 8D5 or SICU.

Click or highlight the item to select it for a field.

Review the updated result panel on the right side of the screen each time you click "Add" to note the additional criteria have been saved to your query. In this example, both Demographics and Encounter criteria have been added to the query, and an aggregate count has been generated:

Select Diagnosis, and begin typing the desired diagnosis name (or associated ICD-9 code) into the Diagnosis Code field. Click the code you desire, then click Add Selected.

As you select a diagnosis code, the ‘parent’ ICD-9 code and its associated ‘child’ ICD-9 codes will be displayed and automatically included. De-select (click the red X) any individual code you wish to remove from the suggested list. “Inclusion” is the default selection.

Tip: *Remember, click Add with each criteria addition or modification to save it to your query.
