Bug

  1. Fixed issue with exporting very large amount of data
  2. Fixed Pipe Delimited report import issue
  3. Fixed issue with retaining Follow-back flag
  4. Fixed issue with searching by MRN Number
  5. Fixed processing status display issue in Workbench and Show/Hide
  6. Fixed issue with configuration setting to NOT flag reports on import as Heme records
  7. In some cases, Search Term incorrectly flagged case as 'Reportable' when it should be "Non-Reportable'

Enhancement
  1. Updated/Revised Search Terms Combined table to improve identifying reportable cases and autocoding histology/behavior based on primary site code and effective start and end dates for reportability. The following new fields were included in the Search_Terms_Combined Table to handle the improved reportability and autocoding:
    • Effective_Year_Start (Value of 0 represents no beginning year)
    • Effective_Year_End (Value of 9999 represents no set end year)
    • IsNonReportableTerm (True/False values) This field was needed for eMaRC to not re-evaluate a smaller part of a term as “reportable”, when the larger term was already deemed “non-reportable”. A new color (yellow) was added to the legend flag the terms that typically are “reportable”, but due to either site and/or date range criteria the term was made “non-reportable”.
    • Site_Histo_Criteria (Site Code that is associated with a specific histology is used in combination with search term and date to identify reportability and/or autocoding of histology and behavior)
    • RecordSource (identify who created/updated the record by either CDC or USER)
    • Date_Term_Updated (Track when the record has been updated last)
  2. Integrated NAACCR version 22 implementation guidelines
  3. Updated/Revised Search Terms
  4. Updated/Revised Electronic CAP Checklist (ECC) autocoding Tables
  5. Updated/Revised Handled SSDI Default values (Users can now set configuration to have the SSDI fields blank filled, populated based on the TNM DLL for TNM staging or populated with codes appropriate for non-staging purposes.
  6. Implemented function associated with NAACCR Volume V, and its XML Data Dictionary
  7. Implemented/revised SPM segment related funcationality
  8. Updated Brain Terms
  9. Updated Pre and Post-Negation Tables
  10. Updated Heme Table

Outstanding items: The following items will be addressed on a patch or future version.

  1. Display issue on pathology side for some older ECC checklists.
  2. Creating an Abstract manually from a paper pathology report
  3. Tx—Remarks field display issue in Search Result window
  4. Flickering “Fetching Records” box while using search

Update – Reprocessing of 2018/8th Edition Files
Any files with diagnosis year of 2018 or later that were imported into eMaRC using version 7.X were mapped to NAACCR Version 160 Record Layout. When upgrading eMaRC to version 9.0, the updater will automatically reprocess these files. Reprocessing will re-map content to NAACCR Version 220 Record Layout and apply other updated mapping and translation rules.

Bug

Resolved eMaRC v8 bug where multiple last names in the CDA message were mapping to Unknown in the NAACCR abstract

Enhancement

Integrated NAACCR version 22 implementation guidelines
