Ardens searches which are designed to support practices with CQRS claims have been written to look at activity ‘last month’ when run. Thus why we suggest to run the searches in November to see figures for October.

By using the ‘relative run date’ feature, the practice can be specific about the month they wish to report on. To use this feature:

• Select the search (or the whole folder if appropriate) and choose the option for Run on the EMIS ribbon (alternatively right click on the search or folder and click Run):
• Once the Run box displays, select the option for Advanced options

• This will display an option to set the Relative run date. Please note - this date needs to be set to a date in the month after the month you are reporting on. For the example below, we are reporting on activity in October, we therefore select any date in November.

• Click on Yes

The selected report(s) will run and the resulting data can be used.

If you require any further assistance on the process above, please contact Ardens support on: support-emis@ardens.org.uk
