Jens, Considering the content of your last mail, It seem that you will insert this as suggestion for further development. A couple questions: Do you intend to insert in the new EpiData version, right? How long do you think this option will take to be available? Regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Epidata and Electronic medical records
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Dear EpiData Friends, Since 2004 the institution I work at, adopted electronic medical record. For me and colleagues which work with clinical research, we have for long working doubling our efforts in registering the required information, at the medical chart and at data entry. Currently most of us work like this: 1.Patient evaluation 2.typing research information at electronic medical records 3.retrieving information from the computer and writing into paper CRF 4.typing the CRF data from paper into computer data entry again. This routine complies with GCP as we consider the electronic medical record the source document. For long we have talked about more automatic and less laborious, and less prompt to error routine. Here one must understand that the medical appointment occurs in a room where a computer is available. We would like that this process to be something like: 1. Patient evaluation 2. The physician type in the information of that visit into a data entry during patient evaluation 3. This data entry is able to transport this data as a text to be pasted at the text entry of the electronic mdical record 4. The physician is able to edit the electronic medical record for aditional information. The main points here is: there is less work in filling forms and records; and there will be less steps in data traveling where mistakes could be inserted by researchers or typing team; and would keep the medical record as source document. Currently Im not awere of any software able to do some exporting in text from the data entry that could allow the process change. If EpiData was up to do something like this, after data entry of a particular record, there would a magic button somewhere able to copy to clipboard the text (like in notepad) with all variables labels and value labels or variable values. After that the user would use Ctrl+V to paste it at the medical record. Does anyone have similar problem? Which solutions have you implemented? Kind regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A. A. do Brasil Curriculum Lattes: http://lattes.cnpq.br/6597654894290806 Instituto de Pesquisa Clínica Evandro Chagas Fundação Oswaldo Cruz Rio de Janeiro - Brasil Av.

Import of REC files
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

The published version has two icons for importing a) structure or b) data. Data import from REC files works The test version v1.3.0.6 has a single icon (second from the left in the second row) or CTRL+I) to "Import data and structure from file". Trying to import a REC file from here imports only the structure but no data.

Hello, Thank you for this new version. In my work, I do not use the new "Epidata Entry" or "EpiData Manager", in the absence of simple calculations for variables. I ask again to calculate in "Edit", for example, as in Epidata CHECK (old "EA Entry 3.1"), an "age" with age = (date examination - date naissance)/365.25... More, it is a pity that I got requests for Mac.

Dear List Today we have released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.5). The new version is available for download on our testing website: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha In this test version we have changes the printing routine to support printing directly to a printer, rather than to SVG files (vector graphics). In addition to support printing a number of minor bugs have also been fixed. The full list of changes can be found here: http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt The next test release for the project will contain printing ability for the EntryClient Unless the testing reveals problems, which cannot be solved easily - the official version for real projects will contain the functionality in the current testversions within some weeks. Announcements will take place here on the list. Following the release of the next official version for real projects an announcement will be made regarding the planned features for the coming six months.

There are also test versions available, so be sure to use the "stable release" for real work. This is the version you get at the top of the download page. In addition to the brief manuals available on the download page of epidata.dk, I prepared a short tutorial for a course last year. It was pretty simple as I just wanted the class to understand what the new Manager and Entry Client would look like.
