# Viewing a Health Summary

Health Summaries provide important information to users about a patient's condition. With Remote Data Views (RDV), users may be able to access remote Health Summary information from other facilities or the Department of Defense (DoD). If the patient has DoD data, but it is not available, CPRS will provide feedback for the text or grid type reports.

CPRS adds a comment that describes the problem where the data from the remote report would normally be. For "grid" type reports, the error comment is put in the first column (after the facility name) of the report. Here are some examples of the comments that could show up, depending on the type of query and what the user has selected:

· <No HDR Data Included> - Use "HDR Reports" menu for HDR Data.

· <No HDR Data> This site is not a source for HDR Data.

· <No DoD Data> - Use "Dept. of Defense Reports" Menu to retrieve data from DoD.

· <ERROR> - Unable to communicate with Remote site

In addition to this text, e rror messages will also be shown after each remote site listed under the (blue) Remote Data button, when appropriate.

To view a Health Summary, follow these steps:

1. Select a patient after you enter the CPRS system.

2. Select the Reports tab.

3. Under the Available Reports box on the left-side of the screen, click the plus sign in order to expand the Health Summary heading.

4. Select a Health Summary that you would like to see. After you have selected a summary, the appropriate data is displayed on the right-side of the screen.

5. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll through the different sections of the Health Summary.
