Version 0.9.2 bld 317 (Mar 2012)

incorporating IBID Database Version 37

Checkbox controls are now three-state (previously two-state). The new "grey" state to indicate uncertainty. This affects 99% of patient and iBID boolean-type fields. Dependency boolean fields are unchanged.

An iBID Registration mechanism has been introduced in this version.

This ensures that systems have to enter their official IBID Unit ID to become an iBID data provider. The registration form is visible on the dashboard and doesn't prevent access to other functions like creating a patient, querying the database and viewing reports.

The behaviour of iBID None Apply type field has been changed. In previous versions these fields hid their related option fields and then cleared them on saving. In this version ticking a None Apply type field leaves the related option fields visible and immediately clears them. This means that users can use the None Apply field to set all unknown values to No and can then selectively enter the Yes data.

The First Seen By Burns Consultant section has been moved from iBID Resusc to iBID Admission.

There have been a significant number of bugs fixed in this version.

See the changelog for detailed information.

Known Issues

• Patient Demographics Editor does not update validation errors display if just opened for editing.
  • Severity Medium - often encountered, data hidden, no data loss, no user interruption.
  • Workaround Changing the value in a required or essential field will trigger the update of the validation error display.
  • Fixed in next release
• Client app enters a recursive loop at the IBID data entry screen if a) the IBID Registration form is shown and b) the IBID form is closed before successfully registering.
  • Severity - minor; rarely encountered; no data loss, severe user interruption.
  • Workaround - register the Unit ID on the Dashboard page before opening an IBID editing form.
  • Fixed - in next release

Version 0.9.1 bld 302 (Mar 2012)

• Fixed bug in calculating IBID analysis data

Version 0.9.1 bld 273 (Feb 2012)

Firstly, we've fixed a major showstopping bug that prevented the dependency record from opening. This bug was introduced in v0.9.0.

We've also fixed a major bug in the local "DLL" server version. This did not surface itself to the user, but it caused the standalone/offline version of AquilaCRS to remain in memory when the program should have exited.

The big news in this release is the introduction of IBID Analysis. This feature means that approximately 45 new fields are available in the IBID Query feature. The new fields range from detailed analysis of postcode data, age categorisation thru to critical care minimum dataset compliant organ support "days" information. AquilaCRS calculates these values as you enter data, but in a separate thread to avoid blocking the user interface.

Years in dates are now represented as four digits everywhere. Date input of two digit years have a century window that extends back 98 years as most date entry will be retrospective.

The demographics search function defaults to showing the individual search fields now instead of the more advanced "Google" like single text entry. This single text entry field is still available at the top of the dashboard screen. It's a great productivity feature and detailed context help will be provided for this feature.

A number of IBID screens have had their layout adjusted in response to user comments.

Staff related fields in IBID admission, referral and discharge screens have had their drop down button removed to ensure user is aware that the field is a free-text field, even though a drop down list of values is still available.

The patient search function used to show a single text field (a la Google) but users requested a simpler search solution by exposing individual search fields by default.

We have fixed a large number of bugs in this release too.
