CPRS GUI QUERY

The CPRS query tool is a useful (if CPU intensive) GUI tool created for HEPATITIS C reporting, which allows a clinician to find patients with particular characteristics. The CPRS Query Tool provides users with the ability to build custom reports and view predefined reports containing clinical information for a select list of patients. This application is an enhancement to the Hepatitis C registry project. The CPRS Query Tool application will assist health care providers in following up on clinical interventions as well as providing an aggregate view of patient information to track health care outcomes.

It was made available several years ago with patch OR*30*153. The zip file ( OR_30_153.ZIP ) cpmtaining the manuals and executables is: https://downloads.va.gov/files/vista/Software/VISTA_FOIA_RELEASES_BEFORE_2008/Order%20Entry-Results%20Reporting%20-%20OR/OR_30_153.ZIP

OR_30_153.ZIP contains:

To my knowledge, the VA has not deployed Windows 7 throughout their network. Thus the (relatively) small number of VA employees who use the CPRS Query tool probably have not run into this issue yet.

The ORRCM REPORTING Broker-type Menu is required to allow the CPRSQUERY.EXE to work properly.
