CREDIT:
1. The Hospital Calendar now has a Reminder Feature. It is available only for single dated events. By entering the number of days in the future (30), a CREDIT mail message will appear for the staff who made the entry. Further, *if* the staff has a valid email address in their staff profile, CREDIT will email the reminder. Note: this feature is only available of InnerCircle Hosted Sites, and self-hosted sites that have ColdFusion configured to process email. There is also a new "Reminder Note" field to detail the Reminder entry.
2. The previous Updater displayed the Date and Staff associated with the Status Change of a Patient. This updater displays that information on the Patient Photo Page Toolbox when a Patient Protocol is selected.
3. The Protocol Follow-Up Sheet now displays the Arm for the Patient next to the On-Study Date. The document has also been updated with Date and Staff of Patient Status Change.
4. The Patient and Patient Archive Search Pages now display either ACTIVE PATIENTS or ARCHIVED PATIENTS.
5. The Patient On\Off Study Report now allows filtering per Gender. The report also has Summary Data when the Protocol Sorting is selected:
Gender Summary
Race Summary
Race Category Summary
6. The IRB Review Modification Form can now be launched in Word.
7. When adding a new Prestudy or Patient, the Gender "Other" has been removed. When Editing a patient, "Other" is still an option.
8. There is a new IRB Macro: @EventDate(d) where "d" is the number of days to add to the Event Date, and @EventDate(m,d) where "m" is the Months to add and "d" is the Days to add. This way, we can do something like this: @EventDate(12,-1). The result will be one year - 1 day from the event date (can be used to calculate the "Expire Date" for protocols or Consent Forms.
9. There is a new "Coordinator" available for assignment in the Pre-Study Workups. The Prestudy Patient Listing Report now allows filtering by Coordinator and it is also a new Column to Include.
10. In the Staff Profile, there is a button "Submissions". If the mouse is held over the button, a "Mouse-Over" popup appears detailing the total submissions and the number of "Outstanding" submissions.
11. There is a new feature that allows for sending Document Emails to patient. This involves the Document Processor. Create a document and then File Merge. There is a new Output Option: Email. Selecting that will automatically send the Document via email to the patients in the Merge File. Notes: 1) Patients must have an email address. Those without an address will be skipped. 2) Self-Hosting sites will need to have ColdFusion configured to be an Email Server. InnerCircle Hosted sites have this feature already enabled and are ready to email at any time.
12. The Staff\Hospital Calendar now allows for multiple staff reminders on a single event. The rules are: we determine if there are any Staff in Reminder Staff List, if so, they become the list to email to. If not, we use the Staff of the user who logged the reminder. The list of available staff for any given event is filtered for email addresses. If staff has no email address, they will not show up in the staff reminder dropdown box for selection. Also note that all staff with email addresses are available. This means staff without logon can even be notified.
13. There is a new System Variable that sets "Default Staff List" for the Reminders noted in #12 above. If there are staff listed in System > System Variable Defaults > "Hospital Calendar Staff Reminder List Defaults", those staff will automatically be selected for reminders for events entered in the Calendar. Even though they will be listed in the Calendar Event for Reminders, they will not be active unless a REMINDER DAYS value is set. Therefore, there is no need to remove them from an event that has no reminders set. They can be listed, but the event is Inactive for Reminding.
14. There are 3 new Columns in the Link Patients & Protocols Report: Primary Care Physician, Referring Physician, Other Physician.
15. The Assignment of Prestudy & Patients to Protocols is sometimes troublesome. At times the expected Protocol is not in the list. There is now a link on the word "Protocol" on the page. Clicking the link will explain several reasons why the study is not appearing in the dropdown box for selection. The message will read:
Protocols missing from this list are due to several factors:
1) Protocol is not OPEN
2) Protocol Arms are not OPEN
3) Protocol is wrong Gender for this Patient
4) Protocol Sponsor assignment is not the Selected Sponsor
5) The Protocol Department is not set, or the staff does not have access to the assigned Department.
Please check Protocol Data Page.
16. The Link Patients & Protocols Report now allows filtering per Protocol Status.
