ZAP Search (BETA)

📘

ZAP Search is currently in BETA

ZAP Search is under active development and only available to select customers at this time. However, we plan to make this feature generally available to all customers later in the first half of 2026.

• ZAP Search functions across all source CDA documents within a patient's ZAP. ZAP Search is handy if a user is looking for something specific about a patient (e.g. if a patient had a recent colorectal cancer screening).
• Results are listed by relevance. Relevance is determined by measuring how closely the result matches the search text. Today, ZAP Search will only search for exact matches on the entered text.
• Results are presented with details about the source document, along with a snippet of text to provide context. Clicking a result will open the details side panel. From the side panel, users can then navigate to the document viewer to view the full source document.

Limitations

Below are current ZAP Search limitations, which we intend to address in upcoming releases:

• ZAP Search is limited to specific sections of CDA Documents, including progress notes, discharges summaries, and other sections containing unstructured text. Certain CDA sections containing structured text (such problem or medication lists) may be excluded from search results. We will be expanding ZAP Search soon to include other data types, such as PDFs and structured data such as Conditions, Medications, and Diagnostics.
• The first search for a patient may take a few seconds, but subsequent searches should return much faster.
• Occasionally, there is content visible in a CDA document that is not available to be searched, so it will not return as a search result. We are working to ensure all content in CDA documents is available to be searched.
