Community Hospital Ward utilization
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 29 May '14

29 May '14

Dear list, I am thinking of designing a monitoring system for a short-term community hospital ward with 9 beds Among variables are Patient ID indate (admission date) <dd/mm/yyyy> inhour admission hour ## outdate (discharge date) <dd/mm/yyyy> outhour discharge hour ## (not always recorded) Age, sex diagnose1, diagnose2 diagnose3, treatment elements etc. Does anybody have a hint on how I can monitor utilization rate, i.e. how many beds are occupied each day, and average utilization rate per week? In Epi Info I would put up a sequence of commands that runs through the datafile for each consecutive day to count number of patients. in EpiInfo the PROCESS command would run thhrough the file and do the maths I thought a defined variable inhouse # and a counter date gen d testdate ="01/09/2013" // Opening date if testdate < today then if testdate >=indate and testdate <=outdate then inhouse=1 else inhouse=0 endif testdate=testdate + 1 else goto end endif Then route to an aggregate file date, count. PROCESS But there seems to be no equivalent command in EpiData. I have not figured out if aggregate or stab could be used for such a purpose. Anye ideas or hints?

Hi Ether, It seems to me that it is asking for your laptop's administrator password. You need to contact your IT administrator.

How to calculate age
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 14 May '14

14 May '14

Kære EpiData. Jeg har fået et problem med at udregne alder og behandlingsvarighed, hvilket jeg slet ikke kan forstå, da jeg synes jeg har gjort det samme som i tidligere rec/chk files. Jeg har prøvet at kigge omkring i Jeres databaser efter hjælp, men kan ikke finde ud af, hvor mit problem stammer fra. Jeg har vedhæftet rec og chk. filer, kan I finde fejlen? Det er for variablerne age og time, at jeg har problemer. mvh Eva Eva Skovslund Nielsen Lægestuderende Forskningsårsstuderende Institut for Biomedicin, Aarhus Universitet Wilhelm Meyers Allé 4 Bygning 1242 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark E-mail: eva.skovslund(a)studmed.au.dk<mailto:eva.skovslund@studmed.au.dk> esn(a)farm.au.dk<mailto:esn@farm.au.dk>

Ok, thank you. I'm waiting for scripting possibilities ... Labeling is not a solution for me, because Field2 depends on Field1 only when it has "A". If Field1 has different values, then Field2 must remain empty and still writeable. Christian.

This will allow much greater flexibility.

Automatic field entry
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hello list, I'm new to Epidata, just building my first entry form. Is there a chance to have an automatic value in a field depending on the entered value in another field, i.e: Field_1 (entered by user): "A" Field_2 (automatically filled with "K", when user has entered "A" in Field_1): "K" I could not find a possibility to realise this by JUMPS or in the EXTENDED register card. I saw there were User Defined Functions in former releases of EPIDATA. Is this no longer possible in the new epidatamanager? Thanks for your attention! Christian

Epidata Entry Client Mac bug
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi, I’ve been trying to use Epidata for data entry purposes. Excellent program! However, I noticed that in the current version of the Entry Client 1.4.4.2 the “Open” menu will not do anything (both on the drop down menu File->Open and the Button on the program). I downloaded the test version 1.5.1.0 and it seems to have the same bug as well. I can work around this by opening the file in Manager first and then opening it (as it shows in the “Open Recent ->” option). Otherwise it will not open a file. I don’t know if anyone has noticed this? I have been trying to see if I can use this for data collection. Thanks again for the excellent effort! Philip Ong, MD Baylor College of Medicine
