Getting Started with Clinical Office: MPage Reports
History
MPage Reports evolved from a need to improve upon the way Cerner CCL reports were presented to end users. Originally designed as a simple CSV web viewer over 5 years ago on Internet Explorer, MPage Reports is a complete redesign of an original concept still running in several hospitals today.
MPage Reports consists of a combination of Cerner CCL code along with an Angular application built with Clinical Office: MPage Developer. At its core, MPage Reports parses and presents text files in a highly interactive web format with options to save views, modify output, filter data, sort data and export to various formats such as Excel, CSV and delimited text.
MPage Reports is also the only way multiple CCL outputs can be displayed at the same time through our advanced technology.
CCL Purpose
The 1co5_mpage_reports CCL script included as part of MPage Reports is responsible for generating reference data, building a deliverable package and redirecting output from your CCL scripts to its final destination. During packaging, the output from your CCL code is compressed and base-64 encoded which allows for a much larger file delivery than possible with the traditional Cerner table output viewer.
MPage Web View
Once redirected to the MPage Web View, the package created by the CCL script is read, and the contents of each included report are parsed into tabs that can be viewed and exported directly from DA2 or the Cerner reporting portal.
