13. How to use the reports
The **WORK TO DO** reports will contain a list of patients who may have a missed dementia diagnosis. If GPs wish to review patients then you can use the read code ‘Ongoing Review (Xalpj)’ and this will remove the patients from the **WORK TO DO** reports. These patients marked with an ongoing review (awaiting/confirming diagnosis) will remain on the **MASTER LIST** until they have dementia diagnosis added to their record.
