Working with reports
Use reports to evaluate the timeliness of, effectiveness of, and trends in your emergency system response. You can generate a report for an open case or directly from the database.
The first step in working with reports is to create a case. Event Review Pro generates the report from the case information.
In Reports, you can also do the following tasks:
• Preview the report as you specify report details
• Print the report
• Export the report
To set up and manage reports, click the Reports navigation button. On the Reports navigation pane and workspace, the available reports appear. They are based on your installation. They can appear in the following categories:
Category
Case
ECG
Based on
Information on the tabs in Cases
ECG strip on the ECG tab in Cases
Q-CPR
Vital Trends
Quality of CPR
Vital trends information that appears on the ECG tab in Cases
(EMS Edition only) Response times Emergency response times
(EMS Edition only) Utstein Utstein guidelines for reporting on aggregated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests

Generating reports
You can generate a report for an open case or for a case that is stored in the database. In either case, you use the same steps to generate the reports.
Above the preview of the report, the appropriate parameter settings appear. The default parameter settings appear as selected. You can select or clear the field.
If you select information from a drop-down list, your choice persists the next time you use the field. At that time, you can select another value.
Remember that if you import a redacted case, in any report that includes that case, Event Review Pro replaces the name and patient ID with a series of asterisks. If the redacted age of the patient is greater than 90, the Date of Birth field is blank and the Age field displays 90.
