There are two selects that are required to accomplish this goal:
1) urn EQ Patient Name
2) medical.record EQ (c.urn).

The urn select provides a lookup utilizing the Master Patient Index Search and in the process sets up the variable /c.urn with the urn of the selected patient. The field medical.record is then used to select off of the value of the /c.urn variable.

   Select Field/Prompt or Value              Oper
1  urn                                        IG
        FOR PATIENT
2  medical.record                             EQ
        (c.urn)

NOTE: When translating this report the following error message will be received:
    ERROR: Selection #1 not done. Cannot find MRI.PAT urn

An index should NOT BE USED as it will slow the report down.

For MRI.DRC:

   Select Field/Prompt or Value              Oper
1  MRI.PAT.urn                                IG
        FOR PATIENT
2  medical.record                             EQ
        (MRI.PAT.c.urn)

============================================================
To set this up for a LIST of patients, setup the selection as follows:
     1  urn                   LI   For Patients
     2  xx.true               EQ     1
     3  medical.record     LI       /URN

Add a select relationship between urn and xx.true:
     C1!C2

Create the computed field as follows:
     xx.true
       DAT=INT
       LEN=1
       VAL=1

Add the following footnote:
     AL START ""^SUB,DO{+c.urn[SUB]^SUB 1^/URN[SUB]}

The selection on urn is just for input purposes - in can never be true.  So, we
use the xx.true field and a select relationship so that the urn select really
has no effect on selection.

The footnote populates an array called /URN that stores all of the patients
entered.  This is then used with the selection on the field medical.record.
