Report Tool Update 4.1 - 5th June 2013

I think I've cracked it.

Feedback appreciated.

Report Tool Update 4 - 5th June 2013

I've been busy.

Testing has revealed an oversight in an aspect of the Report Tool formulas relating to the filtering of data into Direct, Indirect and Teaching. I've all but corrected it but the current Report Tool will only work properly if you only have Local and Distant cases in your logbook.

Of course the data in the main sheet is still safe so don't worry about it.

I have one more column (just 3 cells!) to correct but they are a little complex and its getting late.

I'll fix them asap and let everyone know.

Template and Report Tool Update - 22th May 2013

The Logbook v2 template (Anaesthetic Logbook v2 in the Memento online catalog) has been updated to fix a small error.

If you already have the template you can fix this yourself:

Edit the template by long pressing on it in Memento and pressing Edit.
Click on Supervision.
Long press on Distant and then press Change.
Remove the space after the word Distant, save the new template and re-sync with Google Drive

The Report Tool should be working fine but there are some formulae that need altering.

When they are updated I will post another update. Its easy to fix your reports by just copying the updated sheet and replacing the old sheet. As long as your main sheet of cases stays intact altering the other sheets will not compromise your data. In fact I encourage alteration and suggestions for alternate versions! The version I am hosting should only be considered a base version for you to alter as you see fit.

Of course you can just use whatever I supply though...

Report Tool Update 3 - 15th May 2013

The Reporting Tool is back online for use and testing.

Report Tool Update 2 - 13th May 2013

There are further problems with the shared version of the Reporting Tool formulas so I'm temporarily removing it from the site and from Google Docs.

It appears that there is a bug that has been transferred across from one of the first experimental versions I created.

Therefore I will be rebuilding it from the ground up.

This will take a few days so watch this space.

Report Tool Update - 5th May 2013

Feedback I've gratefully received highlighted some issues with the shared version of the Reporting Tool formulas.

These issues should be resolved now but further feedback is always welcome.

Logbook v2 and Report Tool now available for testing - 24th April 2013

The site has been updated to include information on v2 of the Memento logbook template and the Google Docs reporting tool.

The Power Of Voting - DAS Ascot 2013

I administered the mobile phone voting system at the DAS Meeting 2013 at Ascot ( http://www.das.uk.com ) and I think all who attended agreed that this type of interactivity added a lot of flavour and stimulation to the discussion of the case presentations. These are some samples of the results. This first one is from a comparison between the expert panel, comprised of 7 members, and the audience, 140 of whom responded. Experts & The Audience This was a case regarding a large wound haematoma secondary to C-spine surgery. The haematoma was anterior to the larynx causing severe narrowing of the airway with stridor. Unfortunately I don't have the CT image from the presentation. Of the four options (and one "other") the expert panel was split between the two awake options on offer. The audience, whilst largely agreeing with the experts, gave a wider range of choices with a significant number of people opting for IV induction. Bear in mind - the audience d...

Obfuscate, My Log In, Mate!

Healthcare Password Survey I conducted a small survey last month. It's been quite revealing; the results aren't a surprise, but the scale of some of the biases revealed are. I'd love to redo this properly - countrywide - though I doubt that there would be that much of a difference. Total responses were 207. Here is the breakdown - Do you use least one username and password to access systems at your work? Yes 202 96.7% No 5 2.4% The vast majority of healthcare workers obviously need access to computer systems as part of their jobs. Everything is becoming electronic, or is already (or should be!). Number of Username-Password combinations? 1 10 4.8% 2-4 87 41.6% 5-7 59 28.2% 8-10 23 11% Over 10 20 9.6% This is an interesting result - 48.8% of responders have 5 or more username-password combinations to remember and almost 20% have 8 or more! That's a lot of co...

A Small Flood of Apps

ENTSHO, Resus Algorithms 2 and The DAS APP This last week was pretty busy. I've released a new app, released a new and overhauled version of an app and released a teeny tiny update to another app. ENTSHO The entsho.com app is out now for Android and iOS. It's a collaborative production with entsho.com You can find it for download on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store now. This is "Stage 1" of the ENTSHO release - there are three guideline sections but only one is available at the moment. The other two will be released in the next few weeks, as staggered releases. Thereafter the app will updated to reflect the guidelines at entsho.com. Resus Algorithms 2 The popular Resus Algorithms was getting pretty long in the tooth and, more importantly, was out of date. Resus Algorithms 2 has the Resus Council (UK) guidelines from 2015; the latest versions. iResus is back from the ether and this time it's by the Resus Council. ...
