CREDIT:
1. The Protocol Treatment Report now allows selection per institution. The report now inspects the Protocol Title and Schema for the existence of the selected drug. Further, there are up to 5 drug selections available per search.
2. The Protocol Current Status Report now allows for inspection of Patient Calendars for any future events. This is valuable if staff are looking to see which protocols are OPEN, yet there are no future patient events scheduled for the study.
3. The new Deviation Log for IRB Regulatory has now been linked to the Patient Protocol Module. If a patient protocol ID number is loaded into the Deviation, that deviation can be seen directly in the patient protocol page via a new button "Deviations". If there are no deviations, the words "(No Deviations)" appears in the button's place.
4. The Current Status Report now has links under the Protocol Identifier. Any and all documents uploaded under the protocol "IRB: Documents" are available for opening in the report.
5. There is a new IRB Report that allows for Postponing Submissions from one meeting to another. "MEETING ACTIVITY POSTPONEMENT" it the link. This module allows for selection of the parent meeting, selection of an action (Tabled), and selection of the target meeting. Much like the Meeting Activity Recorder, this module allows for entry for the parent meeting, THEN copies the information over to the target meeting for action at that time. This module is useful in the event a quorum is not present for IRB activities, and all events need pushing to another target meeting.
6. In the File Operations > Staff, there is a new function: Update Logon-Staff Module Access
The module presents all logon staff and all Module Access for each staff. Here users can make bulk changes to staff access without needing to edit each staff profile independently.
7. CCOPs have a new set of tables for their NCI Reports: Table 6A, 6B, and 6C. There is also a verification for those tables available. This update added new fields to the Staff Profiles: CCOP Physician? (checkbox defaulted as checked, and can be changed per investigator), and 3 previous years of "Practice Mode" dropdown boxes that have selections of "Private Practice", "Salaried Academic" and "Training/Fellowship". All defaults are set to "Salaried Academic" and must be changed per investigator. These fields are required data points on the new Table 6.
8. The Patient Check-off Calendar has a new automated feature to allow Notes to be added to duplicate event types. The button is next to the NOTES header "Auto Comment". A popup allows for selection of an event to note, and a field to type the note. When saved, the note will be copied into every calendar event from the selection. Also note: if the Auto Comment field is blank, it will REMOVE any and all comments for that event.

2. There are new Follow-up letters available for Protocol Deviations. The new macro for the letters is "@IRBDeviation". The Board Action Default insert is also new and is found in the File Ops > IRB > IRB Meeting Environment Defaults #40 and #41. |
