Re: designed a long questionnaire

Dear colleagues, I have designed a long questionnaire (more than 600 lines) for national survey data. Clearly, I could have done related rec files, unfortunately the data entry Clerc wanted all questionnaire on one page. After reading few records using the analysis or view data there appears to be a problem. Although some fields have been entered in the data entry form, the data does not show in the analysis (using Epidata Analysis, Stata, Excel). Is there any other way to analyis this data beside editing manuelly ?

Dear All On the testing page: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php You will now find a revised version for download of EpiData Manager and EntryClient These have further bug-fixes in relation to copy and paste fields. the manager is now version 1.3.0.9 and EntryClient 1.3.0.4 Additionally we are adapting EpiData Analysis to a common form of having documents in the same folders as Manager and EntryClient and also that the installer programme will conform to more recent security principles in Windows 7 etc. As a first test of this a new installer is now found at: Analysis 2.2.2.179: http://www.epidata.dk/downloads/setupepidatastat_2.2.2.179.exe One single file can be started in English, French, Spanish or Chinese. If you use Windows XP non-asian version the Chinese part will look strange. Notice it is ONLY the installer which comes in different languages NOT the software as such. We are aware that some of the text which should be in e.g. Spanish is not translated yet, but please test the installer in terms of rights and places where files are kept. We have initiated the translation principles for the interface of Manager and EntryClient. More news on that later.

EpiData Manager (1.3.0.8) and Entryclient (1.3.0.4) release for testing!
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Dear List Fridag 16th november, we released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.8) and EpiData EntryClient (v 1.3.0.4) The new version is available for download on our testing website: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha This release contains only minor bug-fixes. The main focus is our new installation wizards. We have created individual installations for Linux, Mac and Windows with respect to each type of operating system. This also means that Java is no longer required to install the program, using the wizards. The full list of changes can be found at: http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt http://epidata.dk/epidataentryclient.changelog.txt Due to the way security has changes with Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion), it may be that the settings for security should be changed. Otherwise a security message may appear blocking the use of these program. This will be the last experimental release and if no major issues are raised within a short period of time we will release the current experimental version as a "pre-public" release test version. Kind regards Torsten Christiansen Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

"copy to clipboard" function in entry client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 Nov '12

Jens, The problems of access violation was observed in a file of a project imported from Epidata 3.1, which I believe was in turn imported from EpiInfo 6.4d. When I created a new project and tested all over, it seemed to work fine. Did you tried this function with imported files or new projects?Nevertheless I can export a part of the original rec file, say with a dozen or more records and send it to you, if you want to try to reproduce the error. Should I make it through the list or another email? Regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

"copy to clipboard" function in entry client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Jens, Thank you very much for your effort. If this really works out, it will change the my work rationale from water to wine. I would like to make a other suggestions/comments: 1. Make the default "copy to clipboard" setting = "%q: %d %v \n", at least for me it is more reasonable. 2. Tested with \t but tab makes the questions less line up after pasting at notepad. 3. Nevertheless, common spaces works fine and other characters such as ":" also seem to work fine. 4. When there is fields such as sex, where there is a value such 1 or 2, and a value label, such as Male and Female, the setting above will paste something like "Patient sex: 2 female" which is a little weird, mainly for those who later will read the medical record and are not awere these came from dataentry codes. Is it possible to make a setting code to omit the field value if a value label is available? A major problem... I tested the copy to clipboard function and it seems it may work fine only with the current record, not yet saved. When I go back to saved records and try to run "copy to clipboard" from these records an error comes: "Access violation. Press ok to ignore data corruption. Press cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, the data does not go to the clipboard. When I press cancel, entreyclient is closed. Therefore I cant copy/paste a saved record. Is there a solution/workaround for this?

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.

Import of REC files

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.
