CREDIT:
1. We continue to optimize CREDIT Page Loading. Page Load times have generally been improved by 100%-500%.

2. The Meeting Activity Reminder Report now allows filtering per Sponsor.

3. The Protocol Research Team now has the ability to capture the percent of effort for each member.

4. When a patient date of death is entered, and the protocol status for the patient protocols is updated to Deceased, the Status Change information is now captured as to which staff made the entry and on what date.

5. When a Financial Payment has been made, and the Check is assigned specifically to a protocol, that list of protocols can now be added to, check specific. There is a new link on the Payments Output Table under each Check #. The link is "Assigned To:". Clicking that link will allow for adding other protocols to the Check.

6. The IRB Meeting Activity Recorder now allows for changing the Protocol Version Date and the Current Consent Date while recording New Studies, Continuing Reviews, and Revisions. The Protocol Version Date and Current Consent Date must be enabled in the System Settings for this feature to be available.

7. The Pre-Study Report now has additional Memory Locations available. Staff can save the page selections to any number of "Defaults" using the Memory Location option.

8. There is a new Date field available in Prestudy Workups and Patient Protocols. HIPAA Consent Date is available on each Prestudy Protocol Workup. If the participant is Activated, the HIPAA Consent Date Value is passed to the Active Patient Protocol Page for that study. To enable this feature, the field must be Enabled via: File Ops > System > System Variable Default Values > Pre-Study > Show Prestudy HIPAA Consent Date

9. There is a new Date field in the Patient Audit Table: "Audit Complete Date". This field is now followed through the Add, Edit, Print, and Reports modules.

10. The Patient Audit Report now allows filtering by Sponsor. Additional columns have also been included: Audit Complete Date, Re-Audit Date, Patient Status, Location. The Date Range Selection also now allows for using the On-Study Date for the Patient.

11. When creating a Financial Invoice or Request for Payment, Patient Calendar Milestones are noted and colored RED if they have been Manually Entered Events by Staff (vs. CREDIT Generated per the Master Protocol Design).

12. There is a new feature in each Staff Profile that can allow the specific staff access to view other institution calendars from the Main Menu. By default, when the Hospital Calendar page is presented, the Staff "Home" hospital calendar is displayed. The "ALL Calendars" link at the top of the page allows for integrating all "Accessible" Calendars in one. This feature allows for staff to be limited to their own Hospital as far as general access to patients and protocols, but it opens up the window for them to share in the Hospital Calendar of others. The benefit here is to let staff from a component site share seeing your scheduled events (IRB Cut-off Dates, IRB Meetings, Monitors, Staff Out, etc...) without opening up Access for that Staff to other areas limited by that staff main Hospital Access.

13. The Staff Profile Page now includes a text box below the Licenses for "General Notes".


IDEA:
1. See CREDIT items: 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13

2. Faster IDEA Startup Inspection of Inventory. When the first staff logs on each day, IDEA inspects for expiring agents, and sends mail to staff should any be found. That process was taking about 1-2 minutes each morning. The inspection time has now been reduced to about 10 seconds.

IRBANA:
1. See CREDIT items: 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 13
