CREDIT
1. The Time-Task Recorder captures staff time per study & task. When creating a Request For Payment in the Financial Module for the study, traditionally the staff values were defaulted to what ever staff POSITION they were assigned. So Admin staff all had the same rate, Doctors all had the same rate, etc. Now, however, there is a new Staff Field in each staff profile, directly under where the Staff Position is assigned "FTE Rate $ ______". It is this new field that computes the total amount to be paid to the staff from the Task Recorder.
2. The HELP, and MAIL Navigation Buttons at the top of the system now allow for the popup windows to be resized.
3. The General Report: View Patients by Staff, now includes a new Column to Include: Last Patient Event Completed Date.
4. The Report "General > Active Research Team Staff" now includes the ability to filter by Staff Capability Participation. That field is also a new Column to Include.
5. There are 5 new Sponsor Macros available for Merging with Documents:
@SponsorStreet
@SponsorCity
@SponsorState
@SponsorZipcode
@SponsorPhone
6. The Protocol Build Module, Add Activities Page, now allows for Multi-Select of Activities. This replaces the single dropdown box.
7. The Protocol Treatment Report now searches the Arm Notes for the existence of the selected drugs.
8. User Defined Field "Answers" can now be sort ordered.
9. The Regulatory Financials now allows for "Payables". When a study is financially enabled, the "Accruals" page allowed for setting the Invoice Amount of all regulatory events. It now allows for "Payables" as well. So, if an IRB get funds for reviewing regulatory elements, those payables can now be managed in the system. Further, there is a "BALANCE" value in the toolbar that reflects the cash on hand for the study.
IDEA:
1. See CREDIT items: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
2. When on the Dispense Page, if the Look Ahead has been Deactivated, a new link appears "Patient File Cabinet". The link navigates to the Patient Search Engine where patients can be added and attached to a protocol. Once that is done, the Event Focus Page Mini-Menu will have a new option: "Dispense Pharmacy". Using that option navigates to the Dispense page for the study and pharmacy.
IRBANA:
1. See CREDIT items: 2, 4, 5, 8
2. For installations with both CREDIT and IRBANA, the IRB Submissions can now be Locked by either system. This is dependant on the settings for each IRB Action. So an action of "Held by CREDIT" can be locked by CREDIT, and not available to the IRBANA team. Then, perhaps the CREDIT Team sets the Action to "Sent to IRB". Once saved, CREDIT can no longer manage that submission, rather the IRB then has control, and will remain in control unless they set the submission to some Action that Unlocks it for CREDIT. So, the IRB could reject the submission, and set the action back to "Held by CREDIT", or "Returned from IRB", or "Approved". This feature allows for "handoff" or "ownership" of each submission.
