Version 0.9.14 [Gamma] (July 2012)

iBID Database version 38.4

This version fixes a number of bugs identified during the recent user training session, including the missing Afghanistan from the country code list. It also introduces two new query tools:

• Dependency Query
• Dependency Theatre/Intervention Query

The product is now a Gamma release.

Version 0.9.13 [Beta] (July 2012)

The versions up to 0.9.14 have fixed lots of bugs and improved the stability of the product. Major improvements have been made to the data replication module in response to the large amounts of data expected from the BIBID Transfer.

Version 0.9.9 [Beta] (June 2012)

This version introduces the BIBID Import and Transfer Utility. For more information see [http:

Version 0.9.8 [Beta] (May 2012)

This release fixed a major bug that was preventing data entry for a new ibid record.

Version 0.9.7 [Beta] (May 2012)

This update predominantly concentrates on interfacing the various online help systems with the software. Each page or tab will have it's own user help focussed web page. Each form in the application has a Help menu, under which one or several help items will appear depending on the number of tabs & embedded forms that are showing. There is also a quick access toolbar button containing a drop down menu of help items.

At the moment the help system is not 100% complete, so some pages may just direct you to a generic help page. The help links will be updated as and when the pages are created.

The help pages are, where appropriate, shown in a tab within the software, using an embedded web browser. Future versions may allow a choice of internal or external browser.

We've also added an internal database upgrade mechanism in the server app. This is triggered on start up of the software and now allows the software to automatically upgrade the database as well as being able to automatically upgrade the software.

We've also fixed a number of bugs reported by users, and found by internal QA. See the change log for more information on fixes.

Next release will focus on bug fixes and quality issues only. We will be developing an import process for BIBID v1 databases in parallel.

Version 0.9.6 [Beta] (Apr 2012)

This release concentrates on bug fixing following a detailed testing period, and fixes approximately 15 bugs reported in our ticketing system.

The major new feature in this release is the addition of a Validation Error report on each of the Patient Folder, and iBID forms. This complements the dashboard validation error report & provides a more focussed view of validation errors within specific patients & ibid records.

Version 0.9.5 [Beta] (Apr 2012)

IBID Database Version 37

The installation program has been changed: if you install over the top of an existing standalone installation, it now will not overwrite the database. The database file is still deleted if you uninstall the program. If you want to overwrite your database file, then you must uninstall before installing the new version.

The patient search function treats the NHS Number as a more important search criteria. It now searches for the NHS Number OR (all of the other criteria). Previously, search criteria that included the NHS NUmber with other criteria may not locate any records if the other criteria didn't match even though the NHS Number was present in the database. This fixes that and reduces the possibility of introducing duplicate NHS Numbers in the database.

Fixed some bugs with patient search function.

Version 0.9.4 [Beta] (Apr 2012)

IBID Database Version 37

Interim release to allow input of NHS Number in the following formats:

• NNN NNN NNNN
• NNNNNNNNN
• NNN-NNN-NNNN

Version 0.9.3 bld 321 (Apr 2012)

IBID Database Version 37

This software version is primarily a bug fix release.

NHS Number & email address validation have been added to the patient search form. We've also added "inline" NHS Number validation to the patient editor form. Invalid NHS Numbers also added to validation errors data.

Date editor input kind & immediate drop down on typing options have been added to the User Options form so that users can switch to their preferred method.

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 indicates uncertainty. This affects 99% of patient and iBID boolean-type fields. (Dependency boolean fields are unchanged). The checkboxes cycle through the values in the following order: No -> Unknown -> Yes. The stored values in the database are No=0, Yes=1 and Unknown=NULL.

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.

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.
