| We decided to use this wiki to improve our communications. In order for that communication to be any better than what we had before, we need to all agree '''''how''''' we are going to use it. This is not a complete strategy, but just a start. Please have a look and contribute. Keep in mind that the aim of this tool is to reduce the effort and work of communicating as inclusively as possible.
| | With a geographically distributed team that works diverse hours communication is a challenge. Every data collector is required to engage in specified a minimal amount of communication. |
|
| |
|
| Below are some ideas. For this article and for now, let's do this:
| | '''Emails''', '''Voice mails''' and the '''[[Communication_for_the_CCMDB#"Recent Changes" Link|Recent Changes]]''' need to be checked '''at the beginning''' of every data collection session / shift. |
| * If an article is marked as '''stub''' it is a work in progress. If it is different from your paper coding guide, the wiki instructions may not yet apply if they contradict the paper ones.
| |
| * If you have details to add, disagree with an idea, have concerns, or something is unclear, please write it right under that point.
| |
| * Please end your entry with a <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to show who contributed it, and when. This is not mandatory, but will help anyone who needs clarification.
| |
| * once a point is addressed to everyone's satisfaction, any of us can incorporate it into this (or a separate) article and remove the discussion trail.
| |

|
| == ''Watching'' an article == | | ==The CCMDB Wiki== |
| To do the following you will need to be logged on as yourself.
| | See [[Discussion & Question Instruction]] for information how we use the wiki for communication. Also please see [[How to edit the wiki]]. |
| If you want to be notified when an article has changed, you can open that article and click on the "watch" tab. | | * If you are not sure, just edit it, I will sort out details, formatting and linking. Ttenbergen 11:20, 2014 September 10 (CDT) |
| If a watched article changes, this change will show up on your ''my watch list'' - the link is in the top right hand corner of the screen. Additionally, you can go to the link for ''my preferences'' and under the ''email options'' in the right bottom corner check ''E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed''. You may have to ''authenticate'' your email address first - if so, the preferences window will tell you this also.
| |
| I think we should all watch at least this article and the main page for now. That way I can add info about anything updated to the main page.
| |
| Any thoughts?

|
| == Discussions == | | === "Recent Changes" Link === |
| Let's not use the discussion tab at the top of the page to prevent people from missing that there is a discussion going on.
| | There is a link called "recent changes" in the "navigation panel" in the top left corner. This link will tell you the wiki articles that have been changed recently. Every entry either has a '''diff''' link or a '''# changes''' link (where "#" can be any number); following this link will show you what has actually changed in the article so you would not have to review the entire article. |
| The discussion can happen at the end of any article or article section instead. Add the following to the text to give instructions on joining the discussion, and to add the whole article to the "questions" section:
| |
| <nowiki> {{discussion}} </nowiki>
| |
|
| |
|
| == Moving the manual online ==
| | Keeping track of the recent changes will tell you when a question or discussion item you have posted is addressed. |
| I have started to move parts of the data collection manual online. Once all parts are online I will write some "special" articles that will basically draw together different collections of data, such as the medicine coding guide, or the critical care coding guide. Ideally, I don't encourage people to print these out, but that will be an option.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Lists of possible values ===
| | There were concerns that important updates might get missed if we rely solely on "recent changes" for communication. A training session was held to remedy this on April 9. If you still have difficulty using the recent changes functionality, please contact [[p:Tina Tenbergen]]. |
| I suggest we not include the actual lists of values for various fields because your PDA and Access program list them. Any copy we generate of this data will need to be maintained, and therefore can become wrong and out of date.

|
| What are your thoughts?
| | === Using uniform "My Preferences" === |
| | See [[My Preferences in the wiki]] for suggested preferences to use, some of which affect the behaviour of time stamps and recent changes. |
|
| |
|
| === How to notify of an updated/new entry ===
| | ===Discussion & Question Instructions=== |
| I initially thought that it would be best to email people with updates, but I now wonder if it would be better to make checking "recently changed articles" whenever email is checked.

| <!--If you have written a new entry or want to solicit feedback for an entry, please send an email to either all data collectors, or all in your program, as may be appropriate for the topic. The mailing lists are now set up to work from outside of HSC. Please contact [[Tina Tenbergen]] to find out how to use the mailing lists. I am not posting the information here because it would open us up to spamming.

"Recent Changes" Link
There is a link called "recent changes" in the "navigation panel" in the top left corner. This link will tell you the wiki articles that have been changed recently. Every entry either has a diff link or a # changes link (where "#" can be any number); following this link will show you what has actually changed in the article so you would not have to review the entire article.
Keeping track of the recent changes will tell you when a question or discussion item you have posted is addressed.
There were concerns that important updates might get missed if we rely solely on "recent changes" for communication. A training session was held to remedy this on April 9. If you still have difficulty using the recent changes functionality, please contact p:Tina Tenbergen.
