1.0.3 β Release

  1. APRN: Removes medications from the list properly (no more error when removing meds from list).

  3. Database: Added a log table.
  4. section_nurse.asp: Logs errors to the database.
  5. section_murse.asp: Deletes all visit information for visits equal or larger than the current before inserting the current visit information.

  8. MedInput: Rearrange the buttons on the “how often” screens so that “Daily” is at the top. (ie reverse the order) (“Seeing “One a week or less” is a case of “Banner Blindness” where the user expects something (daily because that is what they do) on the first line and the brain confabulates? This is an interesting new area of cognitive science/communication science!)

"Remaining Fixes Needed for PEP-NG April 20,2006" document released by Pat Neafsey. Above fixes follow this document.

  2. Server: Page to see which medications a patient took on a certain visit
  3. Meds: send info to server and store it in the database.

    2. Did you take something for allergies or asthma in the past month?
    3. Did you take something to help you sleep in the past month?
    4. Did you take something for your stomach or for indigestion or gas in the past month?
    5. Did you take any vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other supplements in the past month?
  7. Education: changed the information and animations.
  8. Tutorial: changed the medication list to use the pain relievers.
  9. Tutorial: changed question to "Did you take an aspirin this week?"
  10. Meds: navigation bug
  11. Meds: sinusitis -> sinus
  12. load_meds.asp: update query to remove multiple entries when a medication has several categories
  13. Meds: The first item on the nested children should be regular strength (or parent)
  14. SE: Change to "Touch the box that shows how sure you are about this". (06-02-14)

  18. Education: When program is “analyzing” change wording to “Please wait while we record your answers.”
  19. IMPORTANT: Per the original survey, now need the questions/clock on:

    2. Did you take something for allergies or asthma in the past month?
    3. Did you take something to help you sleep in the past month?
    4. Did you take something for your stomach or for indigestion or gas in the past month?
  20. IMPORTANT: Because focus group participants and first think aloud (key informants) got confused re Vitamin E and zinc whether they should list all their supplements, we need to remove all of the specific questions about Vitamin E, Zinc, Gingko, Niacin and simply ask 1 question that says (older: Combine non-alcohol choices for substances (gingko, etc.) onto one screen). (Put after the calcium question.) We can get the dosages by having the different strengths listed in the nested children.

  64. Screen with “Which conditions have you had in the past 10 months” has too many boxes. Divide into 4 screens (8 boxes on a screen – spread out more) (05-12-5)
    • 1st should be (“Which conditions do you have or have you had in the past month”
      • Add COPD / emphysema

  66. For the screen: "How do you find if an over-the-counter (non-prescription) medication is safe to take with your prescriptions or alcohol?" (Check all that apply). (05-10-1)
    • Here we probably need a box that says "None." Some patients may never have thought to ask, or seek out, information about possible interactions, and we would want to know that rather than having them select something they haven't actually ever done. Tuck it in next to the long box at bottom.
  67. Finding information on non-prescription: change text to “How do you find out what is safe to take with your prescription medications or alcohol?” (05-12-5)

      • Internet

  70. Change to “Where do you usually buy medicines that do not need a prescription (including vitamins and herbs)?”.
  71. Intro screens for each section. (05-10-1)
  72. Verify that the wording in the section ending is the short version. (05-12-05)

    • Ask APRNs for meds, doses, frequency, special instructions (no problem list for now). (05-12-04). (06-1-9)
    • The drug list/scroll bar window could be the same size as the list of meds entered and placed on the lower left. (Similar to SPSS format.) (05-12-04) (06-1-9)
    • “Route” pull down menu for eg.
      • Oral (p.o.), Transdermal, Sublingual, Topical, Inhaled, Rectal, Vaginal, Injection, Subcutaneously, Other (room to enter other) (06-1-9)

  85. Arial Black font for Mac (05-11-29) (05-12-01)
  86. Randomize slide content (answers) and order of questions – (for future retests, to minimize “learning the test” effect) and possibly randomize sections if it makes sense to do it (?) - not necessary
  87. If whole alphabet is used, letters with no medicine attached to it should have a response indicating that “no blood pressure medicines start with the letter __.”
  88. Create two versions of section where participants are asked to name their meds

  90. Show a list of the medications already inputed into the system. (05-10-26) (05-11-15)
  91. Add I don't know button to letter scale. (05-10-9) (05-11-15)
  92. Remove questions about “I drank more than I intended to”, from this section and add a short measurement scale for alcohol use. Move this alcohol scale to immediately after the earlier query, “Did you drink wine, beer, or liquor during the past month?” add Yes_ No_ “I never drink” and only give scale if participant answers Yes or No. (No during past month is not the same as never drinking).# Large scrollbar in list component (05-11-15)

  94. Remove questions about "I drank more than I intended to", from this section and add a short measurement scale for alcohol use. Move this alcohol scale to immediately after the earlier query, "Did you drink wine, beer, or liquor during the past month?" add Yes_ No_ "I never drink" and only give scale if participant answers Yes or No. (No during past month is not the same as never drinking). I AGREE. LET'S TREAT ALCOHOL AS WE DO OTHER SUBSTANCES. THIS WAS THE SHORT 2-ITEM CONJOINT SCREEN FOR HEAVY ALCOHOL USE. WITH THE CLOCK IDEA, WE WILL GET A BETTER VIEW OF HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN THEY DRINK. FOR THIS CLOCK CAN WE HAVE A WINE GLASS APPEAR? (AND 2-4 AT A TIME SHOWN IF THEY CLICK REPEATEDLY?) (05-11-15)
  95. “Did you take medicine to protect your stomach when taking a pain reliever?
  96. Use "Pain Reliever" throughout. (05-9-13)# Change self-efficacy back to knowing. (05-09-21)

  100. Transition page: "You have completed this section." (05-10-1) (05-10-10 v.0.15 ß)
    • Here the centered type is awkward. I think we should make these statements flush left, ragged right and with shorter line lengths (see not below). (05-10-10 v.0.15 ß)
    • Also, the second sentence seems like it can be eliminated to simplify. The other sentences make sense without it. (05-10-10 v.0.15 ß)
  101. Change the sample intervention question on thyroid pills and calcium:
    1. Change the answer that says “2 hours after her other medicines” to “4 hours…”. The animation stresses that for thyroid meds, one needs to space calcium and other minerals by 4 hours. (With other meds it is 2 hours). (05-09-22) (05-09-22 v.0.14 ß)
    2. Change the “YES…” to “YES, waiting at least 4 hours will not affect the absorption of her thyroid medicine.” (05-09-22) (05-09-22 v.0.14 ß)

  13. APRN: Medication Input Screen
    1. Fix dropdown boxes button - see Skinning (06-01-24)
      • The button's size is wrong and has to do with the tailoring of the medication list scrollbar. Need to go over each component and figure how to tailor each independently. It might require coding subclasses of each component.

  21. Sort the children medication list based on the sort order from the database.
  22. Make AM, PM, midnight and noon change color when the hour is selected.

Interface Components[edit]

  1. Enhanced List Component
    a list that scrolls one page at a time.
    • might be better if one can set the amount that is scrolled
    should also allow one to set the width of the scrollbat
    The list page is something of an unknown right now. Users have demonstrated they would prefer that in previous focus group but I would like to see them try it. If indeed that's the way to go then it will take some time to implement that because it requires meddling/tweaking a component that is deeper into the system. Possible, yes. I have put a lot of hours trying to get it done and could not do it, I know the direction of the solution but it will take some time to get there. What you see today in the first list of the first medication input screen (antihypertensives?) is just a rig that I did. One option is to use the rig in all lists, the end user might not even notice the difference, but it is a shortcut now for work that will have to be done later at some point.

Skinning[edit]

  1. List component: make actual scrollbar wider
  2. ComboBox: scrolbar in the dropdown list should be thin The problem is that it is getting the size from the list scrollbar. Might require coding a new list component with adjustable scrollbar width (06-1-9)

Internal[edit]

  1. Redo DEBUG_noserver variables. (05-11-10)
  2. Sections Framework
    1. Section class. (05-12-01)
    2. Recode section flow. (6-1-24)

Interaction Server[edit]

  1. Recode for to check the amount of medication in units of the medication instead of units taken.
  2. What to do with "as needed"? (2006-05-20)

load_meds.asp[edit]

  1. Also load the medications whose children are of the specified categories
  2. Use parent-child relational table
  3. Load the children sort order too.
    1. Sort children by sort number and then name

Medication Database[edit]

  1. Restructure to have a relationship table for parent-child medication
    • This is needed because the load_meds.asp script needs to choose the parents that have certain medications as children. The way it is now, we can only get the children that have a certain parent.
  2. Fill out all doses and unit fields
  3. Add a sort order field to the children so that we can define the order that they appear on the list.

Medication Database Management WebApp[edit]

  1. Store date_created when inserting ingredient categories. (06-03-07)
  2. Store date_modified when updating ingredient categories. (06-03-07)
  3. Page to dump the medication database out to a csv file. (06-03-04)

PEP-NG Documentation[edit]

Client Documentation[edit]

  • Users will have a notepad to write down meds that they don't find in the list and the APRN will email those meds to us. (2006-04-20 Pat Doc)
  • Patients are allowed to skip questions because they have the right not to provide information - this was decided with Pat on a meeting around April 20, 2006 (2006-05-02).

Parameters from Browser[edit]

These parameter variables should be used only on the top level movie timeline and should not be accessed by child movies or loaded movies to facilitate code management because the variables might change in the future.

The following parameters can be passed to the client through the HTML page using FlashVars:

  • argBrowser
    Boolean that indicates whether the client is being run inside a browser or not.
  • argURLPrefix
    String used as a prefix to the connection urls.
