Types of Patient Groups
System Groups
System groups are prefixed with $ and followed by 3 letters which vary depending on the origin of the group:
- Generated from Clinical Audit
Audit Searches - $AUD or $QAU, $INT, $QOF, $QPY
Audit Sub-searches - $SUB or $GLO, $QFS, $QPS - MIQUEST groups and other System groups
Patient and GP system groups - prefixed $PAT
User Groups
These are created in the practice by:
- Searches and Reports output.
- Within Patient Groups, either by combining two existing groups, adding patients to an existing group or creating a new group.
- If you make a system group into the Work Group, then save the Work Group with a new name and description, it becomes a user group.
