Tasks Elements

We are collecting tasks items for research purposes.

Please follow the guidelines given in the individual article for each task, and these guidelines will be taken into account for any analysis of task data.

To facilitate task collection CCMDB.mdb automatically adds a task entry "fill" for each of the tasks for every new patient. The corresponding dx codes sort before the allowed tasks, so clicking on any one of them will bring up the allowed tasks as next options. Using a "fill" task instead of defaulting to "none" will prevent anyone from just forgetting to set this while still facilitating easier entry of tasks.

Why not default to "none"

We thought about defaulting these to "none" but decided not to do this because some of them are rare and the risk of missing those if they are always defaulted would be to great. Ttenbergen 10:26, 3 November 2010 (CDT)

ICD10

When we move to ICD10 we we will leave the tasks in the L_Dxs table and rename the current dxs tab to "Tasks"

Some tasks look like they would correspond to CCI codes but we use specific collection instructions for them so they would not be equivalent, so we can't change them to using CCI codes.

Start Date

• Start Date: December 15, 2006; Medicine Program only (in Task.mdb collection started on Dec 19.2006)

Legacy

When the MOST Score was implemented for the Medicine Program, the collection of iTISS data was stopped. A need was identified to continue to monitor a few specific items for research and other purposes.
