The most commonly required task is to Search for patients.

AquilaCRS also has a number of queries available that you can use to Query the Database with more complex criteria, or to analyse in the Query results screen.

All search options are avaiable from the Dashboard. Please follow the links above for more help.

Search vs Query: A search allows basic criteria to find the patient so you can drill-down into the record to make edits. A query allows almost unlimited and complex criteria, and it also produces Query results that enable much greater analysis such as pivot tables, sorting and grouping.
