CREDIT:
1. The original Patient Consent Date is now displayed (and can be changed) directly on the Event Focus (Patient Protocol) page.

2. When inside of the Master Schedule Report, when a patient name is clicked, the popup now includes a listing of all protocols the patient is registered on. The popup also includes the patient demographics.

3. Patient Mailing Labels now allow for Upper and Lower Case formatting.

4. The Report: Master Patient Calendar now allows for a Julian Calendar format (by selecting: Single Patient\Date Calendar). BE CAREFUL HERE! This is intended for use in Follow-up when staff wants a calendar for all patients on P-2 who are coming in for the next 6 months. IF you use this format for general event notices, the calendar will be huge and will require many pages to print one month.

5. In the File Operations > System > System Variable Defaults Values > #113 the Variable Patient Withdrawal Reason can be Enabled, Disabled. By default, it is Enabled.

6. For organizations that are National Cancer Institute CCOPs, the Credit Value and Type are now displayed on the Protocol Data Page Toolbox next to the Protocol Arm Identifiers and number of Patients:
Arm A (12 Patients) : 1.00 RX : 0.50 CC

7. The CURRENT STATUS REPORT has been modified to allow for multiple institutions to be included. Originally the user selected one institution from a popup box, and that was the organization that the Protocol Status Report was run against. Now, the user can select multiple institutions. When the report is created, the institution abbreviation is listed under the Status of each protocol. As an example:

Status: OPEN
JMWC
JMCC

8. There is an update to the Protocol Import module. At the point of importing, the user can IMPORT AS: and provide a new Identifier for the Study. As an example, a downloaded protocol may have the ID of: "NSABP-B-38" but the importing institution has a "stub" protocol "B-38". In the past, importing the protocol creates a new protocol "NSABP-B-38", when the desire was to have the protocol overwrite the original "B-38" keeping all the regulatory logs and staffing, simply appending the Arms with Schemas.

Now, on the Import screen there are 2 buttons: "Import Protocol" and "Import Protocol As:". Next to the second button is a text box for the user to enter in the Protocol Identifier of choice. In the case noted above, "B-38" would be entered into the text box, and "Import Protocol As:" would be clicked. The Importer would then locate the existing "B-38" study and prompt the user to overwrite it, thus preserving all Regulatory Reviews and Revisions.

In conclusion, an imported study can be renamed at the time of import.

9. The HIPAA Audit Log now includes the institution associated with the patient.
