Per Dr. Humbert’s request, I have completed an additional feature to the BCS checklist Master Log. Along with the BCS checklist Master Log running every night, Dr. Humbert wanted to be able to have automatic emails sent out to 3rd and 4th year students. These emails are an effort to notify students of BCS requirement [...]

posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
I’ve been working with Sue Maple and Dr. Hilgarth on the specifications for the ICM-I and ICM-II form modifications. Students in Terre Haute have been issued handheld devices to log encounters as part of a new Rural Medicine project. As part of this project, the ICM-I and ICM-II forms needed to be modified. Both forms [...]
Google style search feature added to edit/manage CERTTS accounts
posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
In the past few months, I’ve been interested in creating a Google style search to the admin page in CERTTS. In the past, the search term was based solely on what was typed in the text box of the edit/update accounts page. I was interested in having the ability to suggest (to the user entering [...]
Removing Palm data from public syncing stations
posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
Wilfredo and I discussed the issue of student data being stored on the public syncing stations when a student syncs forms data. This data not only is not needed, but the data is sometimes personal in nature and (over time) takes up disk space. In the past, the directory that houses the synced data was [...]
Emergency Medicine form update
posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
Stacey Jackson has requested that additional names be added to the ‘Supervising Physician’ field and an additional location be added to the location field on the EM clerkship form. Previously, students needed to type in the supervising physician’s name in the free text field, when completing an EM clerkship form. Due to the fact that [...]
Student Email notification for BCS
posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
Along with the BCS Clerkship log, Dr. Humbert wanted the logs (as they run nightly) to email any students, once a month, that have missing BCS encounter data. I’ve added that functionality to the ‘filtered’ BCS log. Any students in the current graduating class (4th years) that show up on the log with missing encounter [...]
BCS Clerkship log
posted by Float Check on Thursday September 10, 2009
Dr. Humbert made a request to have an updated BCS Clerkship log similar to the EM Clerkship log. He wanted to be able to access an html style page that would have up-to-date info on students who have logged BCS encounters. This becomes particularly relevant during the student’s 4th year. Students are required to have [...]

Angel upgraded to 7.4
posted by Michael Bangert on Monday July 27, 2009
On Thursday, July 2nd, Angel was upgraded to the newest version and migrated to new hardware. To prepare for the upgrade, I used VMWare to configure a server that replicated our 7.3 installation, and ran the upgrade on that server 3 times to become aware of any problems that might crop up. The upgrade was [...]
