Sequence Search Module

This module allows you to specify a required Code sequence in order to create an Event that covers the time span from the first until the last Code or your sequence.

You can specify as many Codes as you need in a predefined order.

You can limit the search to an absolute sequence (no other Codes in-between = 0,0), or allow for any number of additional Codes in-between (-1,0), or specify a specific number of other Codes that might occur in-between each sequence item:

WFM_SequenceSearchExample

This example is available as a Workflow demo named MedicalTeam: Code Sequence search.

When applied to the demo file Medical team data, it results in an automatically created Event covering the time from the moment the nurse arrives until the O2 support is placed:

WFM_SequenceSearchExampleResult

Of course you can adjust this command to match your data and find any sequences you are interested in.

All relevant Basic Properties are part of the Search specific sequences dialog:
