Special Note: You may notice many of your pages and reports running very quickly. We have been dedicating a lot of energy in re-writing many of the web pages in CREDIT, IDEA, and IRBANA. The objective is to shave off as much time as possible to help you work more efficiently! We have recently purchased another 3rd party software system that analyzes all aspects of your Web Site. That data gleaned from your site has translated into a more efficient page management on your local computer! The DDOTS staff is dedicated to keeping all systems on the edge of "State-of-Art".
Special Notice Self-Hosting Sites, Effective 2/1/2010: (Duluth, Ochsner, Fargo, Gainesville, Phoenix) You will need to upgrade your Server to ColdFusionMX 8 or 9 as well as upgrade your SQL Server to 2008. Optionally you can elect to have InnerCircle Media (ICM) host your site (about $10 a day). ICM Maintains all upgrade software for your site at no additional charge.
CREDIT:
1. The Projected Revenues Report now breaks out the Patient Milestone column into "Competed" and "Not Completed" (or Earned and Not Earned). Further it includes a column for amount paid on the Patient Milestones.
2. There are 2 new Document Upload Modules in the Financial System: "Direct Costs" and "Request For Payment". Files can now be uploaded for each item listed on the pages.
3. We have expanded the IRB:Documents section by allowing the individual
documents to be "attached" to a regulatory event (or multiple regulatory events).
You can, at any time, go into the IRB Documents area and "tag" the file as being
related to any regulatory event for that protocol.
Additionally, you can upload a document (or multiple documents) at the time that
you are creating the regulatory event. To do this, you press the 'Browse' button and
select a file. You must then include a "Valid As Of" date and, optionally, an
expiration date. When you Save the new regulatory event, it will automatically
put the files into the IRB Documents area and tag them for that regulatory event.
In fact, if you have multiple IRBs and you choose those additional IRBs to receive
the regulatory event, the document will get copied over into those IRBs as well!
If you edit/view a previous regulatory event, you will see a list of all documents that
are tagged to that regulatory event. You may click the checkbox next to any that
you'd like to unattach and save it. Note: it does not delete the file! It remains in
the IRB Documents area. However, it is no longer attached to the regulatory event.
While in edit/view mode, you may also attach new files from you hard drive, which
works exactly as it does when you are first creating the regulatory event, with the
exception that it only adds the document for that specific IRB.
In the near future we will be making the documents "linkable"' so that you can view
them from the page that you are on. Additionally, we intend to create some reporting
mechanisms. From there, however, we are relying on our vast base of CREDIT and
IRBANA users to let us know how this new functionality could be improved and how
it could best serve their specific needs.
4. There are several new macros that can be used in Merging IRB Regulatory Documents:
@SuspendedDate
@RestartDate
@ClosedDate
@TerminationDate
5. The Link Patients & Protocols report now allows for Ordering by the Protocol PI and the Protocol PI is also a Column to Include.
6. The Patient "Hospital ID Number" can now be Required. This is managed via File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Patient\Study: Patient Hospital ID Title Identifier: Required
IDEA:
1. See CREDIT items: 4, 5, 6
2. When Pre-Populating Drugs, if the inventory is Patient Specific, the Patient Selection Box now also includes the Patient Protocol ID.
3. The Patient DAR now has a new table at the bottom: Patient Specific Inventory for (Patient Name).
IRBANA:
