  1. FCDS Internet Data Entry & Abstracting(FCDS IDEA)

  2. Why change to the Internet? • Previously received: 50-150 disks/month • New labs/facilities will increase this dramatically • Reporting requirements changing • FCDS getting out of software publishing business (no FCDS V4 DOS software) • Improve data quality

  3. How it works • Each abstractor receives login/password on private FCDS web server • Abstractor either uploads batch created with vendor software or enters individual abstracts • Basic error checks, quality control performed • FCDS moves data from web server to database server, performs detailed checks, submits reports back to abstractor

  4. Pros • Improved data quality - basic errors are caught while documentation/knowledge is “nearby” • Increased responsiveness - reduces US mail • Online reports and quality control reports (future) • Bugs are fixed in one (web server) location

  5. Cons • Abstractors need web access • Increased security needs • Vendorless abstractors have to work while online • It’s new and different

  6. Web Anatomy 101 Basic Web request:1) Type in Web location2) Get back Web pageIt appears to be direct connection http://fcds.med.miami.edu FCDS YOU

  7. What actually happens Internet Your request travels through many non-hospital, non-FCDS computers FCDS YOU

  8. Why Encryption is Needed • Web page request normally travels through many computers in plain text • Encryption changes requests so that information is humanly unreadable • Web page requests are decrypted automatically at your computer and FCDS web server

  9. How Web Encryption Works • Binary FCDS Web Server Certificate file installed on your computer in web browser • Each web page request is first encrypted using this file, then sent to FCDS • Web pages are decrypted on display at your computer

  10. Encrypted Web pages https://fcds.med.miami.edu/scripts/fcdsweb.pl(notice the “s” - for secure) Encryption Certificate FCDS YOU

  11. FCDS Web Login 128-bit encryption

  12. FCDS Web Server Certificate

  13. Two ways to send data to FCDS • File upload using vendor supplied software • FCDS Single Abstract Entry to enter abstracts one case at a time over the web

  14. Upload Vendor file to FCDS • Create submission file using vendor software (ERS/MRS/IMPAC/etc.) • Login to FCDS page:

  15. Choose “Upload Vendor Generated Data File” from web menu:

  16. Click “Browse…” or type filename.

  17. Data is uploaded, receipt printed...

  18. Data is uploaded, receipt printed... Temporary Vendor Verification file

  19. Vendor Verification • For each Facility# (1100, 5200, etc.), 10 test cases must be submitted along with paper documentation to FCDS • Once the data has been uploaded and verified by your field coordinator, that Facility# has passed, and new cases will be accepted • All test cases are deleted!

  20. Vendor Verification…why? • To ensure vendors have updated their software for NAACCR V9 and FCDS 2001 requirements • Each vendor has multiple install options, so Facility by Facility check must be performed • FCDS Single Abstract Entry users do not have to submit test cases

  21. Method #2: Choose “FCDS Single Abstract Entry” from web menu:

  22. Enter abstract data

  23. Enter an abstract...

  24. Enter an abstract...

  25. Enter an abstract...

  26. Enter an abstract...

  27. Enter an abstract...

  28. Enter an abstract... Press Save to run basic edit checks

  29. Fix errors, press Save, ...
