I - Tour of the Web Client

Introduction

The functionality described in Part I of the user guide assumes that you have received the necessary prior authorizations to access a SHRINE network at your institution. The process for this authorization varies according to your institution and network.

Most SHRINE networks use a tool called the Data Steward Application to request and approve query topics prior to use of the SHRINE Web Client. Your local administrator or network contact will provide information about this prerequisite step, if applicable.

Details of shots presented in this document may vary from network to network. Each network uses a different ontology and may be uniquely configured. We have attempted to note in this document where these situations may be expected. If you have questions, please contact your local network representative. 

Find Patients View

The default view the user will see upon logging in is the Find Patients view.   The Find Patients view is divided into 3 modules: 1 Medical Concepts, 2 Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria, 3 Search. The main menu is in the upper middle 4.

View Patient Counts

The other modules are located in View Results.   View Results  is divided into 2 modules: 1 Previous Results, 2 Patient Counts.  The main menu can be used to switch between the Find Patients and View Results tabs 3.

 Medical Concepts Module

The Medical Concepts panel consists of: 

a - The Filter Drop Down menu.

b - The Search Field

c - The Medical Concepts Tree

a - The Filter Drop Down menu.

The Code Category Filter is used in combination with the search field to filter the concepts by category.  The filter will be applied to any searches performed by typing a search term in the Search Field and hitting the go button (see part b).

b - The Search Field

As the user types in the search field, matches will automatically appear in a dropdown below after 3 characters or more have been typed.

If the user selects a matching term and clicks the go button on the right, the filtered concept tree will appear.

The user can also navigate the Concept Tree by expanding the folders to view the child concepts.
