New Service Area Map and Room Contact Info
on the PTS site, we put together a new interactive map designed in Flash. It came out two (2) weeks ago.
ICM-II Clinical Tracking
The ICM-II Clinical Tracking project is complete. Dr. Hilgarth expressed a need for the ICM-II form to be available on the PDA for a pilot program. A select number of MSII students volunteered to be a part of a PDA program. The PDA and web forms needed to be modified to incorporate a dynamic preceptor drop-down list based on the group number a student belongs to. The list of preceptors changes depending on the group number selected in a previous drop-down list. The new ICM-II PDA form is complete and the ICM-II web form has been modified with the changes and I was able to complete the modifications using AJAX for the web form and a Pendragon script for the PDA form. Both forms are uploading and syncing to the student reports successfully.
XML Parser adjustment
The XML Parser script, that reminds Faculty, Staff and Residents that evaluations are past due for students, has been modified. I’ve also modified this script to run automatically every Monday morning at 2:00 am. The script reads the XML file supplied by Suravate, writes the XML data to the database and compares its contents with Evaluation Pledge forms signed and uploaded to CERTTS. If there are any matches, the script generates an email message, attaches the student name and a copy of the signature from the form, supplies a link to the Evaluation page to complete the eval, and emails the Faculty/Staff member that the evaluation is past due.
CERTTS autosync
The CERTTS system was initially setup to sync any Pendragon Forms uploaded by students when a student clicks the ‘Get My Reports’ link on CERTTS. There was a syncing bit that would be set when a student clicked on the reports link to avoid more than one student from triggering the syncing script. The thought was that the syncing bit was getting stuck, causing us to manually sync records through the Admin portal to clear the bit. For the most part, this was happening between Friday and Sunday. Mostly due to volumn of records being uploaded towards the end of the week. I’ve created an autosync script to run every 5 minutes on CERTTS to help prevent this. Students are now notified on the mainpage of their reports, after logging in, when the last database sync occured and when the next sync will happen.
