CREDIT:
1. There is a new option for printing Mailing Labels for Staff. The Criteria now allows for the selection of an Institution or Hospital. Of course, there is a need to make sure all of the staff (including Investigators) have their "Home Institution" assigned. File Ops > Staff > Edit Staff and Assignments > Show Existing File. Scan that page to see that all the staff you expect to get mailing labels for have a Home Institution. If they do *not*, you will not generate a label for that staff if you are using the Institution Specific option.
2. If a patient Off Study date was entered, all unchecked events get Ignored. Now, if that date is removed (user error), all the Ignored Events associated with the Off Study date are restored.
3. Staff Licenses have been increased from 3 to 6. And the Report > General > Staff Information now allows for including a column for the staff hospital assignment.
4. The Generic Patient Calendar now allows for the display of multiple months. Further, if the calendar display is set to only one month (default), the calendar can be exported to Excel. In multiple month display, the dates are not linked to popup.
5. On the Protocol Data Page there is a new field for the entry of the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (NCT Number). This field is Disabled by default. To Enable the field, File Ops > System > System Variable Defaults > Show Protocol NCT Number. It is the last entry in the section for "PROTOCOL DATA PAGE".
6. The Protocol Current Status Report (Open Protocols) now allows for Exporting the report to Excel. The box is in the lower right corner of the Selection page. If checked, the report is not generated to the screen. Instead, a box pops up prompting for Open, Save, or Cancel. The correct option is SAVE. If you open the report, it opens directly in CREDIT and you can do nothing there to manage it. Of course, you *must* have Excel installed on your system.
7. The Protocol SAE environment has up to 2 "Attribution" selection boxes. They are traditionally named "Disease" and "Drug". For the "Drug" one to appear, it needs to be Enabled in File Operations. This was an update earlier this year. Now, the System Administrator can title the Attribution "Types" as desired. For instance, one organization has them titled "PI" and "Sponsor".
8. The Patient Consent Form Log now color codes the "Ignore" column to light purple if the patient is Off Study, and dark purple if the patient is deceased.
9. The Primary, Referring, and Other Physician dropdown boxes in the Patient Data Page (Photo Page) are now limited to Doctors who are *not* Investigators.
10. For institutions that have protocol review "Expire Date" enabled, that date will now display on the protocol data page; if the display IRB Review History on Data page is enabled.
11. If there is a Memo entry in a study Review History, that memo will now be displayed on the Protocol Follow-up Sheet.
12. There is a new variable available on the Patient Protocol Page: Accrual Membership. The entry is a dropdown selection box loaded with all the sponsors. The idea here is that a patient may have a protocol opened through CTSU, but the staff needs to count accruals for other Research Base Membership requirements. To enable this feature, File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values, at the bottom of the Patient Protocol Section: Show "Membership" Association for Accruals on Patient\Protocol Page.
13. Patient Adverse Events and Safety INDs "Intensity" dropdown values can now be added and edited via File Operations > Patients > Add Adverse Event Intensity.
