Report Designer Introduction
Report Designer is the reporting tool, introduced in MEDITECH 6 X platforms. Report Designer must be used to report from MEDITECH Advanced Technology applications. Some of the features of Report Designer include:
A more intuitive and mouse based design
Create logic statements without having to code or have knowledge of programming syntax
Auto format feature, that allows for all fields to be added to a report with a single click
Drag and Drop fields and labels on the report picture
Cross Platform Reporting
Report Designer must be used to report from M-AT applications. For the 6.0 release this includes:
EDM
EMR
HIM (Shared)
MIS (Shared)
OM
REG (Shared)
PCS
The 6.1 release has more M A T applications then 6.0 releases. The 6.1 M-AT applications are:
