CREDIT:
1. When a target accrual is hit, the system can now stop accruals (not allow the study to show up for selecting in Dropdown Boxes). For this feature to function, there is a System setting to allow for a CAP to be enabled once a target accrual has been reached. IF this CAP is enabled, when reached, CREDIT would remove and ACTIVATE buttons from Pre-Study Patient workups and Patient File Cabinet for this protocol until the site disables the CAP feature in File Ops.
2. There is a new feature that populates the "Current Accruals" box with the patient count. Prior to this, the Current Accrual Count was entered by hand by the user. This Manual Entry process is still the default. However, in the System settings, there is a new option "Automatic Accrual Calculation. When this is Enabled, the system automatically counts the accruals every time the Protocol Data Page is opened.
3. There is a new column in the Master Scheduile Report: Research vs. SOC.
4. The Master Schedule Date Range now allows for connecting to the Event Check-off Date in patient calendars. That date is automatically captured when staff check off events. So, if an event happened June 3, and was checked off June 5, we can set the date range to June 5 and see what was historically checked off.
5. The Patient Document Upload Module now allows for creating a Patient Calendar Event for each upload. As an example, perhaps the document being uploaded is a Query request. On the upload screen, an Activity "Data Query" could be selected and that Manual Event would be sent to the Patient Calendar for staff to mark as "Completed" when it occurs.
6. There is a new Financial Hourly Rate feature. When on the Financial Parameters page (Acrual page) there is a place for setting the Hourly Rate for work beyond the contract. When staff Tasks are associated with the study, they become collectable Milestones. That rate is a "Flat Rate" and applies to all staff. There is now a new checkbox next to the rate that tells the system to look up the staff Salary Rate in the Staff Profile. So, if a Data Manager has a Salary Rate of $30 per hour, and a RN has a Salary Rate of $45 per hour, those values will be used for Tasks performed by the different staff when Milestones are collected.
7. The Maximium Number of Months between Reviews can now be set in File Ops > IRB > IRB Meeting Environment Defaults > (choose IRB) > Maximium Month Review Duration. The Default is 12, but can be changed as needed. The impact of the setting allows for every study managed by the selected IRB to have that Maximium Months as the top range.
8. There are several new Macros available for the Patient Deviation Print that pull directly from the Patient Protocol Page for Staffing:
@InvestigatorTitle @InvestigatorFirst @InvestigatorMiddle @InvestigatorLast @InvestigatorSuffix
@CoordinatorTitle @CoordinatorFirst @CoordinatorMiddle @CoordinatorLast @CoordinatorSuffix
@DataManagerTitle @DataManagerFirst @DataManagerMiddle @DataManagerLast @DataManagerSuffix
