Hints on Searching for a Surname

The Soundex application searches for names using the initial letter followed by the

first three consonants in the surname. To use this search effectively, try to enter the

initial letter and first few consonants correctly.

For example, a Soundex search on the characters 'ANDR' could possibly output the

name 'ANDREW'.

To enable the most comprehensive list of matches to be displayed, the system will

ignore any double consonants in the surname. For example, the surname BENNETT

can be spelled or misspelled as BENETT.

The search also ignores any vowels entered in the surname, so it does not matter

whether you enter A, E, I, O or U. The letters W, H, Y are also ignored.

Restricting the Search

You may wish to display a Soundex list for a commonly occurring name such as

SMITH. In these instances, you will find it more effective to restrict the display by

specifying additional patient details in the qualifier field.

The search cannot be restricted if the surname search has been requested

through the MR application.

Valid qualifier details: (Surname,Forename,DoB )

Please remember to include the commas even if you have not entered all the qualifier

For example, Qualifier [SMITH@,,12.02.67 ] will display a list for all "Smiths"

with a birth date of 12.02.67.
