# Perform a Basic Search

Take the following steps to perform a basic search:

1. Click the Search tab.
2. Type your text string into the Search Entry box. The plug-in dynamically presents suggestions as you type, among them a suggestion that matches the text you've typed in the Search Entry box. The plug-in also presents spelling suggestions based on the most common spellings available to it.
   - Remember: Search suggestions are not patient specific: The plug-in displays them when it matches entries in its Lucene index whether or not coresponding data exists in your currently selected patient's record. Hence, selecting a suggestion doesn't guarantee results.
3. Click a suggestion or press the Enter key.
   - If you click a suggestion that falls within a category other than Suggestions, the plug-in presents only results that fall within the category. That is, it uses its dynamic domain faceting capability to filter results.
   - If you click a suggestion that falls within the Suggestion category, the plug-in returns all results.

## Clinical Practice Environment

With its CPE (Clinical Practice Environment) application, the HMP Team Facing framework delivers software that serves healthcare teams and helps meet their needs in caring for our veterans. CPE software will help transition Veterans Health Administration from a chart-centric model of care to a team-based, patient-centered model of care through advanced clinical software and a modern software architecture. This software represents an effort to reestablish close clinician-IT collaborative relationships and to build field-driven, web-based modules that meet the following functional and technology goals.

- Functional Goals:
  - Comprehensive, coded, integrated data
  - Knowledge-driven, context-based decision support
  - Role- and conditions-based workflow-driven systems
  - Multi-patient, team-based care
- Technology Goals:
  - Open source, with a service-oriented architecture (SOA)
  - Web-based, with a flexible, scalable architecture
  - Context-aware, with an extensible, modular platform

While its initial operating capabilities are present, HMP software is a work-in-progress. Specific features and instructions for using them will evolve as our partners in the clinical community evaluate the software and provide feedback, thus realizing the close collaboration between IT and clinical interests that informed this software's genesis.
