CREDIT:
1. The previous update allowed for the display of Protocol Event Comments on Patient Calendars. This replaced the "mouse-over" popup display of the notes. Some organizations, however, preferred the mouse-over to the open display of the event note. Now there is a System Default Value #144 that allows for the selection of Display vs. Mouse-Over.
2. When collecting Financial Milestones, there are new links to check boxes to Remove an entry from the collection: All and None.
3. The Master Schedule Report now allows for the Exclusion of Arms X, Y, and Z (optional).
4. There has been the ability to add Protocol Comments to each event note in the Protocol Segment Design Page (Rainbow Page). Now those notes show up as a link on the Rainbow Page for easy review. The "Mouse-over" is active as well as the new link "Notes" for each event listed. Clicking on the Notes link pops up the comment for the event. If there is no comment for an event, there is no link.
5. The Link Patients & Protocols Report and the When On\Off Study Report now allow for filtering for Archived Patients. The When On\Off Study report now also has a "Memory" to capture the last entries each user selects on the report selection page.
6. Protocol Deviations can now be exported for IRBANA.
7. Patient Adverse Event Entries can now be marked as "Follow-up Entry" Yes\No.
8. There is a new Staff Access point: Reports: Patient Adverse Event Template. "This access allows the staff make changes to the Master Patient Adverse Event Template used with Macros for importing the AE information from the patient." All staff that had access to the IRB Adverse Event area have the same rights here. If the staff does not have WRITE access to the Patient Adverse Event Template, the template and word processor are not displayed. Those staff still have authority to CREATE the Forms.
9. When a Patient Protocol is Archived, all Future Events are set to IGNORE and the Notes are populated with "Archived Patient Study". But if the Archive was done by mistake, the calendar did not "revert" to the original state of events yet to be completed. Now, un-archiving a patient protocol will remove the Ignore checks and erase the Note, properly reverting the patient calendars.
10. If the System variable: When an OFF STUDY Date is Entered, Move Financial Events to "Today" for Possible "Completion". is ENABLED, when a patient Off Study Date is entered, all non-financial events will NOT be Ignored. Financial events that are older than the Off Study Date will remain dated per the calendar. However, Financial Events that are future events have the Due Date moved to the current date.
11. There are 2 new Macros for Patient Adverse Event Reporting: @AEGrade and @AEType.
12. There is a new Macro Document on the ddotsHelp Website. http://64.109.156.30/ddotshelp/UpdatesPage01.cfm Also note that documents that are newer than 2 months, have a NEW notation next to the title.
13. New error checking now inspects dates for the Revision Log. The Submission\Revision Date must be earlier than the selected IRB Meeting Date.
14. On the Protocol Financial Payments page, there is a new column: Unallocated. This holds the remainder of the check entry that has not yet been allocated.
15. The IRB Meeting Activity Recorder now allows for the selection of Review Type (All Types, Full Board, Expedited, etc...) The default selection is made in File Ops > IRB > Edit IRB Meeting Environment Defaults #16: Meeting Activity Recorder Review Type Inclusion.
16. Drug Dosages can now be hidden on patient calendars. By default they are displayed rather than hidden. To change the setting, File Ops > System > Edit System Variable Default Values #145: Show Drug Dosage on Patient Calendars This applies only to the Patient Calendars 1 Column and 4 Column. The Patient Checkoff Calendars still show dosage and are not associated with the standard calendars. Note: The 1 and 4 column calendars may appear to be duplicating drugs with the dosage shut off. That is because some studies have a double set of the same agents, but differing dosages. Without the dosages displaying, the drugs listed will appear to be duplicate entries.
17. There are other items that can now be turned on\off on patient calendars. Auxiliary Doctor and the Protocol Title can now be disabled from display on the calendars. As with #16 above, they are System Variables #146 Show Auxiliary Doctors on Patient Calendars and #147 Show Protocol Title on Patient Calendars . By default, both are Enabled (showing on the calendars). Further, #148 Show Patient Arm Notes on Patient Calendars ,#149 Show Table Borders on Patient Calendars on the System Variables allows for Patient Arm Notes and the table borders to be turned off. By default, they are on.
18. The Master Schedule Report can now filter for Financial Milestones Completed, but not Invoiced. For this option to be seen, Financials needs to be enabled in the System.
19. Inside of each protocol there is a button to "Show Patients" when clicked, a popup box appears with all patients listed as well as some basic information about the patient (Name, Sex, Arm, Dates of Birth, On-Study, Off-Study, etc..). Now some of these listing columns are linked to the specific patient. Click on the Patient Name, and the Patient Photo Page appears. Click on the Arm, and the Patient Checkoff Calendar appears. Click on the On-Study Date, and the Patient Protocol (Event Focus) Page appears. On each of the "appearing" pages, there are buttons to "Return to Listing" or "Close Window". This facilitates staff who need to be inside of a protocol, but need access to patient information without leaving the protocol.
20. On the Protocol Financial Payment Allocation page, the Patient Milestone Column Headers are linked. Clicking on one of the headings refreshes the page, ordering the events by the column clicked.
21. Internet Explorer 7.0 had caused an issue when attempting to Add Patient to Protocol. We have coded around that IE 7 issue and those users who upgraded to that browser will no longer have a problem with that module. At this point, the systems are compatible with the new browser from Microsoft.
IDEA:
1. See CREDIT items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21
IRBANA:
1. See CREDIT items: 12, 13, 15, 21
2. Protocol Deviations can now be imported from CREDIT.
3. There are 2 new Report Letters for New Studies: New Study Pending Letter, and New Study Tabled Letter.
4. When recording Revisions via the "Meeting Activity Recorder", bullet notations can now be added to the Revision similar to those in New Studies. This is an optional feature and must be enabled prior to use. File Ops > IRB > Edit IRB Meeting Environment Defaults #50: Allow Minute and Letter Notes for Amendments. Once enabled, notes that are put in the Revision Recorder will appear on Letters and Minutes.
