CREDIT:
1. The Popup Collect Milestones Invoicing now has Navigation Links for fast paging.
2. The On\Off Study Report now allows for Sorting by Race or Ethnic Category.
3. The Active Research Team Report now allows for a simple (summary) listing of staff associated with studies of selected Status.
4. There is a new set of fields in the Protocol Data Page: Patient Min. Age and Patient Max. Age. For this to be active, it needs to be Enabled via File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Protocols > " Show Patient Minimum\Maximum Age on Protocol Data Page" > Enable. This feature is then used to evaluate protocol availability for patient attachment both in Prestudy and Patients.
5. The Time-Task Recorder now allows for selection of Sponsor to log time.
6. When adding a patient to a protocol, the Patient Protocol ID (supplied by the sponsor) is evaluated at each keystroke to determine if the entered value is Unique (to that study) or NOT Unique (to that study).
7. When the Patient Check-off Calendar (All Events) loads, it also shows events that are already Completed. There is a new System Variable that will default the calendar check-off display to "Hide Completed Events", with a button to "Show Completed Events". By default, this File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Patient\Study > Hide Patient Checkoff Completed Events is set to DISABLE. We HIGHLY recommend that this feature be Enabled as it will save staff hours of time over the year. Basically, when the page loads all of the historical data takes time to load. And upon Save, all of those Completed Events get re-processed again and again and again, every time the page is saved. As the Completed Events get to be more and more, additional time is saved by hiding those events.
While we would like to have set this feature to ENABLE, we thought it better to not surprise the user when the Check-off Page Loads and Completed Events "appear" as "gone". Please ask your CREDIT Admin to Enable this important feature!
8. New Report: Meeting Ranged Activity Summary The Report allows for IRB Date Ranging, pulling protocols that had activity within that date range, then displaying all IRB Log events found for each protocol.
9. When creating a Request for Payment (RFP), if the event is something that the Sponsor Pays for, and the Sponsor has already paid, that paid amount will be displayed in the data line as "Received: $xxx.xx". This allows the user to quickly review (and remove) elements in the RFP that should not be paid out due to the fact that the Sponsor has not yet paid Research for the Event.
10. When an Invoice is created, and it contains an IRB Revision, the "Revision ID" is now included in the line item.
11. The Hospital Calendar now has a Document Upload Feature. This means you can upload a documents for specific calendar events.

2. There is a new System setting that allows for displaying ALL patients from ALL Hospitals (staff authority filtered) for selection of Dispense. The issue here is when patients "hop" from one clinic to another on a weekly basis for treatment. Prior to this option, the patient would need to have their Registration Hospital changed in order to reset where the patient would be going for treatment on that given day. Then, for the next treatment, yet another change would be required. Now, with File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Patient\Protocol > When Dispensing Drug, allow Patients to be Treated in All Hospital\Pharmacies Enabled, a new button will appear at the Patient Listing for Dispense to "Show All Patients". When clicked, the patient selection box reloads showing all patients from all registering hospitals that the staff has authority to see. Then the patient can be selected, and on the Dispense Page, a simple click re-assigns the pharmacy of dispense to the current pharmacy.
