Capturing tier 3 analysis

[Jude-RDPM]

Hello,

We're very pleased with GEL2MDT and are now using it across all the disease teams working on RD results return In Oxford.

We want to capture the number of cases that have additional analysis above tier 1 and 2 variants so that we can add this into our internal audit process. We think there could be a couple of ways of doing this:

1. adding a new status for 'complete with tier 3' (we are currently using the 'external' category for cases which are reported as negative but where tier 3 analysis is planned and still outstanding)
2. adding a check box to the status panel in the proband tab alongside 'case sent', 'pilot case', and 'no primary findings' reading 'tier 3 analysis complete'

We'd want to be able to pull out a list of cases which have had this analysis, ideally by the date it was completed. Currently we are recording this information in the free text comments box, but this is too open to inconsistency to be of any real (and reliable) use. We are also not sure how easy it is to mine this data.

There may be other more obvious options that would be easy to implement. If so, we'd be very happy to hear about them - it's the end result not the method that is important.

With best wishes and many thanks for the system. It's working really well for us.
Jude

Hi Jude,

Great to hear you are getting along well with GeL2MDT and you are finding it useful!
The addition of a status case status or a checkbox should be possible. I will check with the other developers and see how best to add this functionality and we will try and add something in for you for the next release.

We have recently released a new version (v0.7.0) which includes some of the user admin functionality you have requested previously. With this it is now possible to have greater control over which users can access which parts of the system (such as making new MDTs). The update will need to be pulled onto your web server for the changes to be active (if you are still running an older release). Your bioinformatics team may want to set up a test instance of the new version on a local machine to get familiar with setting up user groups and permissions before putting it on to the live version.

Thanks for your continued suggestions and hope you continue to find GeL2MDT useful!
