Candidate patients without a targeted MUR

The report lists patients who might be eligible for a targeted MUR.

This report will allow the user to select a date range and a targeted MUR category (the category can also be “All”) and will list the patients who have not had an MUR within that date range.

In other words, this report effectively lists those patients who, if they came into the pharmacy, and had not had an MUR in the last year, would cause a targeted MUR prompt to appear.

  • Select the Candidate patients without a targeted MUR report.

  • If required, choose the date range over which you wish to report.

  • For example, you could narrow down your search to MUR candidate based on qualifying dispensings carried out on a specific date, or between two dates.

  • If you do not specify a range, all MURs will be reported, subject to other filters that are applied. The default period is the previous three months.

Many pharmacies have thousands of patient records. Take care when executing this report. If you select a wide date range, your report may run to thousands of hits! If you start a report which is taking too long to compile, press the Cancelbutton to abort it. Restart with a refined set of filters applied.
