Expanded Search Option for Slices?

Morning, folks!

In the app i’m working on, i currently have three main views.
In Hospital - Provider

  • Dashboard view with two slices

In Hospital - Table View

  • Table view to show a user sortable view of the in hospital patients

All Patients

  • a listing of all patients who have been seen

In the morning, someone (currently me) must compare the listing in the hospital’s EHR platform to our internal “In Hospital” list that the providers use for their rounds at the different locations. I have the “In Hospital - Table” view setup in a way that essentially mirrors the table view from the hospital software, making it easy for the end user to compare lists and make sure that what the providers see in the app once they are onsite is an up to date list (this is a replacement for the papers they used to carry around, which were pretty much always outdated by the time they arrive).

There is a search box at the top of each view, but it seems that the search box is jailed to the data available to that current view or slice. Is there a way to expand the search? All of these views pull from the same table called “Patient Population”. What i’d like is for the In Hospital view(s) to be able to search the entire patient population instead of just what is exposed to the slice, so that if a patient record already exists at all, it can be selected and flagged for “In Hospital” without having to leave that view, if that makes sense.

Hello @mykrobinson , if you create a dashboard that includes all the views that you wish to search at the same time, then the search function will do exactly that, that way you can execute your search in-hospital and also over all the patients that have been seen.

Ah, guess i didn’t even consider just adding the “All Patients” as a tab in the In Hospital view. I’ll try that. Thank you

Well, i tried and it is not working as I expected:

I added the All Patients view to the In Hospital - Provider dashboard and searched for a last name for a patient not currently in hospital, but from an hospital view, and it returns no results. Of course, it works fine if i switch to the All Patients tab, though. If I understand what you are saying, should it return results from any of the available tabs in the dashboard if i search?

@mykrobinson I see you’re using a dashboard with tabs, if you wish to see the search results in a single screen you should disable the tab option, otherwise you’re gonna have to switch between the tabs to see the results.
