Questions

Will you be offering a similar seminar for orders?

Answer: Yes, Galen will continue to have reporting webcasts on various clinical topics.

Are the vitals results in the Result tables?

Answer: No, vitals are not stored in the results tables. They can be found in the Finding tables.

What do QO stand for?

Answer: QO stands for Questions and Orders

Why do queries require so many tables?

Answer: The Works database is a relational database utilizing many normalization standards. Database normalization is the process of splitting large tables into smaller tables for ease of updates, among other reasons. Updating a single small table is much simpler when a defined relationship exists, especially when records in the larger tables can get into the millions.
