Searching for patients • How to use search utility in Bp • Loading supplied queries • Requesting specific criteria from Bp Customer Support • Third party tools for data analysis • Pen CAT • CDMNet • Mail-outs can be performed from searches • Database ‘pruning’ Bp Sunshine Summit 2014
What happens to deleted data? • Patients and items within Patients can be deleted from sight within Bp. • Items are never removed from database, however some items can be recovered through using Bp Utilities. • Merging patients is unable to be undone, as data is not deleted but changed to suit new patient details.

User access issues • Permissions are often overlooked when setting up new users • Permissions are linked to user categories, and often users accidentally remove their access by changing categories. • User categories do not reflect any status within Bpi.e letters or invoices. • Passwords are often forgotten and cannot be reset by Bp. • Other users with full access to Bp can reset for the other user • Passwords are also used for database access for third party programs • Store these database passwords in a safe location, as this grants any experienced user full access to the raw database.
