BCR Dashboard

The BCR Dashboard is the main page of the BCR. The dashboard provides a menu that allows users to generate a variety of report types including patient specific, aggregate and adhocreports. The dashboard includes a Patient Search and VISN/ Facility search tool that allows users to look up VISN or facility names & numeric codes and search for individual veterans within a single facility to which they have access.

Patient Search Tool

The Patient Search Tool is located in the upper right section of the dashboard and allows the user to search for a specific patient by entering an approved patient identifier. Any portion of the patient name or SSN can be used in the search; however users will get the best results by entering the full name, the full SSN or the VA ID (Last initial of the last name plus the last 4 numbers of the SS#) of the patient. Only patients within the facility to which user has approved BCR access will be returned in the search.

Overview: Viewing and Exporting Reports

Most BCR queries will display the results of the search in a grid format.

The reports can be sorted by column in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column; this will sort it alphabetically or numerically. Clicking on the up or down arrow in the column will reverse the sort order.

Some data are displayed in the reports as hyperlinks. To view the details of that data, hover the cursor over the link. This will display the report details as a tooltip.

Reports may be exported to several different formats including Excel, Comma Separated Value (CSV), PDF, and Word.
Note: If you custom sort the report by clicking on a column header and then export the results, the custom sort order will NOT export; the data is always exported in the default sort order.
