CREDIT:
1. The Report "View Patients by Staff" has a new column to include: Next Patient Due Date. The date pulled is the next calendar event for the patient that is due to be done.
2. There is a new Protocol Report: Protocols By Department.
3. The Protocol Status Report, Notepad Format is now available.
4. The Link Patients and Protocols Report has a new column: Current Protocol Status
5. The Report On\Off Study now has the ability for Multi-Select Protocols vs. Single Select Protocol
6. If the System Default for Show Accrual Association Membership is Enabled, a new column is now available in the On\Off Study Report: "Accrual Association".
7. When printing the Protocol Follow-up Sheets for IRB Submission, each Log has it's own paging and letterhead. There is now a new feature that allows for the Logs to print without ejecting pages between logs. This option also eliminates redundant letterhead space on each page. The path to enable this new feature is:
File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Protocol IRB Activities > Protocol IRB Follow-up Sheet Paging: No Page Breaks Per Log.
8. The Financial Report: "Cash Receipts Journal" now allows for filtering by Payments Received that have never been Allocated.
9. The Protocol Status Report now includes Patient Counts.
10. The Protocol Financials "Requests for Payment" (RFP) can now have the Service Provider the various component institutions involved with the research for the main institution. These component sites can be the selected Service Provider for a specific Request for Payment. The organization that requested this option currently pays the component sites per accrual and for follow-up. This process allows for that to be managed within CREDIT with a minimum of effort.
For example, Hospital A accrues 20 patient to 10 different protocols over a 3 month period. Hospital B accrues 15 patients to 6 different protocols over the same period. How can we keep track of what we should be paying Hospital A and Hospital B? In the Reports Module, there is a new report "Request for Payment Generator" that will allow for creating separate RFPs for each Hospital for each Protocol. That way Hospital A will have 10 RFPs for the date range. Hospital B will have 6 RFPs for the date range.
Then, there is another report which will pull all the RFPs for a selected Hospital, date ranged. That way, the specific RFPs get listed with total payment amounts. Finally, there is a link on the Report Output Screen to SHOW DETAILS. That pops up a window with every entry for every RFP for that Hospital, ready for printing.
11. The Time Task Manager is now available from the Prestudy Patient Workup Page.
12. There is a new Automatic Email Notification capability for Patient Adverse Events. Selected Staff need to be added to the Notification List via File Ops > System > Staff Notifications. The far right column is for "Email Pat. Adverse Events". The column will be pink if the staff does *not* have an email address in their profile. When all selected staff are checked for the notification, they can receive an Internet Email when a patient AE is logged. The Email Filter is per Institution and Department defined by the staff profile of the recipient of the email.
To facilitate whether or not to send the emails, there is a new checkbox on the Patient AE Entry Page: "Email Staff". By default it is checked *if* there are any staff set to be notified. Further, the words "Email Staff" are linked if there are staff to be notified. Clicking on the link pops up the list of staff who will be notified.
The Emails are automatically send when the new AE is Saved.
13. The Patient Master Schedule Report now allows for the Exclusion of Financial Events where there has already been a "Request for Payment" on the calendar event.
14. When Loading the Default Research Team Members (only available when there are no existing members for the study, AND some staff have their "Contact Type" set in their profiles), the popup list is now filtered per Department Authorization. This is key. Each potential member needs to have their Departments and Hospitals checked in their staff profile. Otherwise they will not show up on the list for inclusion. The list for Loading Defaults is filtered per the Department and Institution for the specific study.
