This program produces a spreadsheet-like table. Its only purpose is to sort, filter, and merge duplicates in the pending list.
No longer needing to print 200-500 pages of paper is a plus.
First time set up requires one thing: The SmarTerm macro.
The UserVT.stm file needs to be imported to SmarTerm manually.
This program works in two steps.
- First: Acquire the pending list using the SmarTerm macro.
- Second: Run the program.
Part 1) Get the text file:
Sign into Antrim and go to the Main Menu. Run macro "CAPTURE_PEND_LIST".
Part 2) Generate the spreadsheet:
Run DanielPaskalev.exe. Give it 10-15 seconds to load up depending on the size of the pending list.
There are 4 buttons:
Filter: Filters the pending list with what is typed into the entry line.
Copy: Copies all of the current accessions (no duplicates) for pasting into excel.
Refresh: To be used if you updated the reference pending list.txt. It re-parses the file.
Merge: Temporarily merge duplicate accessions who have other tests pending in other worklists.
The macro prints the DEPT:REFERENCE (2 day delay) pending list to the screen while recording it to a text file. This takes 1-2 minutes.
The text file is created in "My Documents" with the name "REFERENCE PENDING LIST [month]-[day].txt". Where month and day are the digits of the month and day. No leading zeros.
For example the pending list for July 26th would be "REFERENCE PENDING LIST 7-26.txt"
The macro will do all of this for you. You are encouraged to run the macro several times a day. This will overwrite the day's pending list with a more up-to-date version.
In Text format, the macro is essentially a visual basic script. It needs to be placed inside UserVT.stm and put in the Documents\SmarTerm\Macros folder for SmarTerm to read it.
Several other macros exist.
"CAPTURE_SEND_OUT_LIST" - Puts the Send-out Pending list into a text file.
"CAPTURE_TS_QUEST" - Puts the TS QUEST worklist (0 delay) into a text file.
"CAPTURE_QUEST" - Puts the QUEST worklist (0 delay) into a text file.
"MORNING_ROUTINE" - Puts several worklists on the screen. They are: ARIOSA, AMBRY, MAYO63, MERCY, DEMO.
