use self-updating directory listing to import rather than a static list (this doesn't affect functionality while things work, it just makes the program a bit more resilient. Right now there is an error if any site can't be found, and if a new site is added and the hard-code is not amended the site just won't import) [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:33, 1 March 2011 (CST)

Revision as of 09:57, 2012 September 27

Transfer_Tracker.mdb is a repository of patients currently under collection on our wards or discharged from collected ward within the last 7 weeks. The amount of time for which data is retained is limited since this is patient information and we can't keep it indefinitely without a good reason.

You can find the transfer tracker at

Regional Server\Output\Transfer_Tracker.mdb

It gets its content from the backup files. Data is updated from the backup files each night, and you can update it to the most current data including today by pressing the update button.

When you open the program, it displays the data that was in the most recent data backup from the last time someone has clicked the "update" button it, and the date of that update in the top left corner.

Bugs

Please let me know if there are problems or the program doesn't work as expected. Ttenbergen

Requested Changes

Design decisions / Implementation log

self-updating directory listing

  • 2012-09-27 changed update code to run for directories in .../data, not a hard coded list

adding admit date and time

Added admit-from and admit date to the tool. -- Ttenbergen 11:10, 2012 September 20 (CDT) "I get patients who are transfered to other facilities and sometimes,especially with those going from HSC to STB I can't tell if they went directly to the OR or a surgical ward or to the cardiac care intensive care or to CCU and then the OR and then the cardiac care intensive care all in one day.Admission dates and times on the transfer tracker would clear this up for me.It would be much easier to check the transfer tracker than email and wait for response." (Gail Hall)

reducing amount of data retained

  • Can we get away with retaining less than 7 weeks of discharges? Ttenbergen 10:03, 2012 September 10 (CDT)
    • discussed this at Team Meeting September 19, 2012; due to long vacations times without backup collectors need this amount of data to be able to catch up when they return. Will keep as is.-- Ttenbergen 11:07, 2012 September 20 (CDT)

added not-yet-discharged patients and increased timeframe of available patients to 7 weeks

16:06, 8 December 2011 (CST)

  • listed patients who have not yet been discharged
  • increased list of patients available to delete pts with discharge dates more than 7 weeks old to better accommodate vacations
