Bug Fixes

• fix the error checking for overstay project to not allow any missing tmp entries (possibly more)

• see Out of Memory Error
• see also Category:Bugs

• able to uncheck checkboxes without finalcheck unchecking. Need to determine if this could lead to bad data going through. Ttenbergen 14:45, 2012 May 22 (CDT)

• as per Lois, and confirmed by other collectors at the team meeting: "Every once in a while when I open my files the ADL’s appear on my registry page for CICU. I go in and out and they disappear."; have asked if anyone can provide specific steps that can make this happen. Ttenbergen 18:42, 2012 June 7 (CDT)
  • corollary: Transfer ready after discharge hides ADL fields Ttenbergen 13:19, 2012 October 31 (EDT)

• if an error handler turns the dx tab yellow this is not automatically reset when a new patient is opened. Ttenbergen 13:15, 2012 October 31 (EDT)

• DX Delete Bug

• Pharmacy LOS Bug

duplicate error messages

fix/improve/document duplicate error msgs Ttenbergen 17:28, 28 July 2011 (CDT)

These are based on the events used to trigger error messages. I think I have eliminated most of them - collectors, please log here any that I may have missed. Template:Discussion

apache check no longer yellowing fields

• apache check is no longer yellowing fieldsTtenbergen 10:09, 10 January 2012 (CST)
  • yes, it is no longer yellowing the field, just the error box below. Can't find trace of the code, and not sure when it was changed. Ponder whether to re-instate, error checking is still being called and still prevents sending... Ttenbergen 17:13, 2012 January 31 (CST)

Template:Potential Change Do we want to re-implement this? Would take a few days of coding I think, so I haven't done it. Ttenbergen 16:58, 2012 October 1 (CDT)

Next Round of Data Changes

• make sure that the updater works if there is no network connection on first opening Access. likely will require the copying of the new data file to happen in the news.batch instead, so would need to update that. Ttenbergen 15:11, 2012 July 4 (CDT)

Bugs that need replicating

In order to troubleshoot bugs in the program we need to know how they happen. There are a number of articles about known bugs we are trying to fix in the bugs category. Any further feedback on these bugs might be the piece of the puzzle that allows me to fix the bug.

Duplicate Priority error in Dxs when there is no duplicate Dx

I saw on Joyce's PC an error for a duplicate diagnosis priority when there was not one. I can't duplicate the error. Is anyone else getting an error about duplicate priorities when there are none? If so, can you tell me under what conditions the error happens? Ttenbergen 16:58, 1 September 2011 (CDT)

L_Pharm_Flowsheet_sum

Occasionally a data collector has sent data with more than one line of pharmacy for a patient. Still looking into what causes this. Ttenbergen 15:07, 2012 June 18 (CDT)

• have monitored this since the spring and it has not recurred. If it recurs please let me know. Will consider it a dead issue otherwise. Ttenbergen 09:56, 2012 September 13 (CDT)

Changes Under Discussion

see Category:Potential Change as well, this are only changes without a home article.

These requested changes can not be processed until the questions about them have been answered. Wherever possible the discussion should conclude in the home article of the topic. If a topic has no home article, it can be listed here.

Anything under here is a Potential Change. Template:Potential Change To get anything done, if applicable flag it in the home article rather than here.

Facilitating diagnosis entries

• As discussed at the Meeting Laura Kolesar is reviewing the names of the diagnoses we use to make it more likely that you get the right one when you start typing. Laura, any progress on this? Ttenbergen 19:24, 30 December 2010 (CST)
  • I have put the respiratory system changes on the regional server site for Tina and Trish to review before I proceed with similiar changes to the other systems. When you get a chance, take a look and see what you think. --LKolesar 14:08, 21 January 2011 (CST)
    • can't find the file, could you tell me the file name and location on the regional server? Ttenbergen 18:03, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
      • As per Laura file is on Regional Server\maintenance\s_alldiagnosis.mdb Ttenbergen 12:20, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
        • Is this still something we are interested in or should we abandon it and wait for ICD10? Another options is to pick the 10-or-so diagnoses that are hardest to find due to a bad name and rename only those. I'd need input from collectors. Ttenbergen 17:40, 2012 October 1 (CDT)

Previous requests that were not addressed (with reasons)

Default location field to main collection location

There have been requests to default the location field to the main (or only) collection location. I could set this up, but defaulting these would increase the chances of the data just being left in there if a patient is an exception. Upon consultation with Trish it was decided not to risk an increase in errors to make this more convenient.

• "There are a number of site collecting on 2 or more units using the same laptop. We get ward location entry error when there is a default location set." ... "--TOstryzniuk 12:25, 20 October 2010 (CDT)"

PS: If I enable defaulting for anywhere then I would not be able to disable defaulting for other locations, so it was decided not to have defaulting. Ttenbergen 12:44, 12 January 2011 (CST) I have, though, reduced the location list to only those wards at a given laptop's site. Ttenbergen 18:09, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

Cancel for Settings

change the settings form to have a save and a cancel button...

No can do. There are is a sb-form in settings form that would not be cancelled, so having a cancel would be misleading.

APACHE lab value limit change request

• Apache upper limit for creatinine is 2968, which is based on the highest APACHE that was ever in database. STB has one pt with a creat of 3000 and has requested to change upper limit. Laura K. --TOstryzniuk 12:12, 6 July 2010 (CDT)
  • Decided to leave limits be and have collectors enter limit values and email Pagasa with real values when extreme values are encountered. Contacted Pagasa to let us know if such emails become too frequent. Ttenbergen 08:53, 12 July 2010 (CDT)
