Browse

The Browse screen displays selected incident reports in an Excel-like grid. You cannot edit data directly in this grid; you can only view it.  Investigator-only fields will be displayed as blank when Operators use the Browse function.

• If you arrived at this screen from Breakdown or The Big Picture, the incidents have been pre-filtered to show only the subset of interest. You can change the filter with the Filter button.
• If you entered from the Browse button on the main screen, the grid shows all incidents in your database.

What you can do from the Browse screen

Columns 

Select which columns to show. Perhaps you have many fields, but you are only interested in the Patient ID, Date, Problem, and Preventability. You can hide the other fields, so all the fields you want to see fit on the screen without left/right scrolling.

Sort

Sort the incident reports.

Filter

Limit what incidents are displayed. For example: show only incidents that occurred in March 2004, were preventable, and had cognitive causes.

Copy

Copy the visible part of the grid to the Windows clipboard. It can then be pasted into Excel, or other Windows programs.

View and Edit Details

Show the complete incident report for the highlighted row in the grid, or edit that incident.

Back

Close Browse and return to the previous screen.
