Special Notice to all CCOPs: The NCI has requested that specific studies, and specific arms of those studies be reported in the CCOP Accruals tables and text files for submission into the new NCI-CCOP web site. The next submission will demand that those entries are included. However, in the past, CREDIT did not include zero (0.00) Credits; per the NCI request. Now, however, there are anomolies that the NCI *does* want reported. The solution in CREDIT is simple.

The specific Arm of the protocol needs to be opened up and the Segment Viewed where the Credit entry exists. Using the Add\Edit button, go into the Activities area and locate the Credit assignment value. Change that value to "0.001". The NCI Reports will include the patients on the Arm because there is *some* Credit value greater than zero. However, when the NCI Reports and Submission Files are created, CREDIT truncates the values to fit into the NCI format. Therefore, the "0.0001" Credit becomes "0.00". Acording to Jim at the NCI CCOP IT Department, these are the studies they want reported zero Credits: PACCT-1 Arm D, and S0500 Arm A.

CREDIT:

1. There is a new report in the Patient Column: Link Patients & Provided Drug. The report provides a listing of patients, drugs, protocols, and hospitals.

2. The Patient Audit Log Report now allows filtering per Auditing Agency. The report also has added columns with a variety of Sorts: On-Study Date, Off-Treatment Date, Off-Study Date, and Registering Physician.

3. If the System Show Departments is Enabled, the IRB Continuing Review Report now allows for selecting a specific Department (or All Departments: defaulted) for pulling protocols due for review.

4. For those systems that have the Protocol NCT Number enabled, the NCT Number is now an optional column in the Protocols Per Sponsor Report.

5. There is a new report for Physician Participation. The data is pulled from the Patient Protocol Page from all the Physicians that are listed. The "Staff Participation Report" is under the Patient column in Reports, which totals and summarizes instances of participation. The report is date ranged and based on the Patient On-Study Date.

6. A new report under the Patients Column: Clinical Trial Participation. The report simply summarizes file data for participation per Protocol Phase, Minority Accrual totals, Trials Open for Patients broken out by Cooperative Group Studies, Industry, and Other, Followup Patient Count. Active Patient Counts. The purpose of this report is simply to supply values for the "Clinical Trials Participation Award" (CTPA).

8. Protocol Phase has been added as a Column to Include in the On\Off Study Report

10. The Patient View Calendar now hides Ignored Events per the setting in File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values: (Hide "Ignored Events" On Patient and 1 Col. Calendars)

11. On each Patient Data Page (Photo Page), there has always been an "Alternate Contact" person's data available for entry. Now, additional Alternate Contacts can be added to the page... and the number is unlimited.
