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 gain the most effective use of this search,

try to enter the initial letter and the first few consonants correctly.

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

surname 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

could be spelt or misspelt as BENETT.

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

whether you enter A, E, I, O or U. The letters W, H and 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.

Valid qualifier details are: (Surname,Forename,DoB )

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

e.g.: Qualifier [SMITH@,,12.02.67 ]
