A one-day training course designed for HA and PCG/T prescribing advisors who already have some practical experience of ePACT.net but wish to make full use of the system to analyse prescribing in depth.

Tutors

Barry Lloyd and David Armstrong

Objectives

On completion of training you should be able to:

• Create complex tags.
• Produce custom reports and graphs.

Practical use of the system: in depth analysis of prescribing, high cost drugs, budget information, detecting abnormal prescribing (e.g high opiate prescribing).

Content

• Revision of basic ePACT.net functions.
• Creating custom graphs and reports.
• Techniques to minimise processing time.
• Exporting data from ePACT.net
• Basic manipulation of ePACT.net in spreadsheets

A maximum of eight delegates can be accommodated per course, with each delegate receiving full hands-on training. Delegates will be using their own prescribing data for the majority of the course, enabling them to create and save custom tags, graphs and reports on their own system.

Delegates should ensure that they have a valid user ID and password for the system.

Previous practical experience of the ePACT.net system is necessary.

This is a full one-day training course starting at 9:30am and finishing at approximately 4.30pm. Delegates are expected to attend all sessions and should organise travel arrangements and work commitments accordingly.
