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Keep in mind, guide information changes regularily, so what you print out one day is outdated the next for a number of articles.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:

• patient ID (Hosp Loc Serial)
• Field Identifier
• error descriptor (text)
• erroneous value

Make that table sync to a central repository on send.
