Bug Fix Requests

Date/Time

• New version of laptop has errors in the data set rule. It is giving a null value error after you enter a time. We could before this version just type in the time and not use the :/ and now it comes up as an error.gogogirl 14:38, 6 October 2009 (CDT)
  • Thanks for the report, and for making me aware we needed this spot for it. Chances are if you got this problem, so does everyone else, since all collectors use the same CCMDB.mdb again now. Which field are you working with when this problem arises? And, I seem to remember you guys having some involvement with eHealth over there lately. What was done? Ttenbergen 14:51, 6 October 2009 (CDT)
    • It is in the registry page. Not on the temp studies when you also use a time. It seems only to really be the time field in registry page. I am not aware of issues with ehealth. No wireless yet.gogogirl 15:09, 6 October 2009 (CDT)
      • OK, I am able to replicate the error and should be able to fix. Ttenbergen 10:19, 7 October 2009 (CDT)
      • Can someone tell me if this is still a problem? I think this was fixed, just making sure. Ttenbergen 12:54, 29 October 2009 (CDT)
      • Can someone please tell me if this is still an issue? If it is not, please delete this section. Ttenbergen 12:38, 24 November 2009 (CST)
        • Yes, Tina this was corrected back in Oct TAngell 12:57, 24 November 2009 (CST)
          • This error was a couple of versions ago, and it has been corrected.

This happened in the testing, then was corrected then another version after testing, this happened again, then was fixed so it's good now.gogogirl 13:08, 24 November 2009 (CST)

Wikis onto laptop

• look into possibility of automatically downloading WIKI guide to laptop each day that it is synch'd. (portable version of guideline)--TOstryzniuk 20:11, 4 April 2009 (CDT)

• As moved from Diagnosis Coding:

A suggestion has been put forth to Tina is to find a away to allow a downloaded copy of the WIKI guide on laptops, the collection tool we are moving to soon. I think this would be an excellent solution if she can do this. Collectors would then be able to search for info no matter where they are in the collection field and each time they synch there laptop, they would get updated WIKI items. That is the plan............but waiting to here from IT support.

It is challenge right now in that the guideline information is not easily and quickly accessible while you are doing your work in the unit or in medical records. Most collectors must run back to their office or find a free computer to log in and look up guide info.

Keep in mind, guide information changes regularily, so what you print out one day is outdated the next for a number of articles. TOstryzniuk 11:25, 29 April 2009 (CDT)

QA Functionality

Facilitate exchange of patient discharge times

DCs have to know the discharge times for patients arriving at their wards from another collected ward. We should automate that rather than have them exchange manually. Might be an extension of the status file for Julie...Ttenbergen 16:05, 3 February 2009 (CST)

• moved a note into Admit, Transfer and Discharge date and time, as this is unrelated to updates to the program. Ttenbergen 09:27, 11 February 2009 (CST)

Logging errors in the CCMDB.mdb

Add a table to the CCMDB that records every time an error is generated with the following details:

• Date/time of error
• patient ID (Hosp Loc Serial)
• Field Identifier
• error descriptor (text)
• erroneous value

Make that table sync to a central repository on send.

After-Laptop changes

make tasks easier to enter, e.g. a checklist
