NJR Data Entry – process changes
A number of cosmetic changes have been made following the release of MDSv8. The following process changes have been made:
- Barcode scanning – Workflow improvements have been made for implants that have two barcodes (primary and secondary). Once the primary is scanned the cursor will automatically move to the lot number field without interruption on the screen and the user can then scan the secondary barcode. The system will automatically decode and add the scanned implant.
- Re-operation form – The UCS options screen will now only be displayed if the procedure type selected is ‘Fixation of periprosthetic fracture’.
- Primary procedure (all joints) study ID question – When creating the first primary procedure in an NJR record where patient consent = yes, the user has to complete questions regarding participation in a study. In the first release of MDSv8, this question required the user to return to the patient details page to complete the information. These questions now appear as a pop-up and once completed and closed will populate the fields on the ‘Patient Details’ page for the user:
Automated Data Quality Audit functionality
The automated data quality audit tool has been enhanced to allow users to:
- Search for records using the NHS number in addition to local patient ID
- Download records (all fields) in XLSX and PDF formats.
