The Pattern Library Report

With the Pattern Library Report, you can review all current and historical library patterns and their effective dates, including their defined Total Length of Stay (TLOS) in days, LOS by level of care group, and pattern criteria detail.

Clairvia Web saves the options you select for each report by your user login once you click Run Report.
