Insight 3.5: Release Date March 28, 2014 Internal TFS # Admin Introduction of the Research Management Applications System Help Desk/ Service Center # (If Available) Description On March 28th the Partners Research Applications group is releasing a new application which allows individual departments/divisions to self-administer the user security for both the Insight and InfoEd applications. Called Research Applications Security (RAS), this utility will be accessible to all Partners Healthcare users inside and outside of the firewall so users can request access whatever their location and the application can be accessed via links found in the Log-in pages of both Insight and InfoEd. The Research Application Security (RAS) application is a tool for users to request and manage security access for the enterprise applications owned by the PHS Research Applications Group (Insight and InfoEd). Hospital departments will be able to request and approve Organizational (Chief of Service Code) and Principal Investigator (PI) Portfolio security requests for users within their given Chief of Service (COS) Code. In addition, users can use this tool to manage the individuals who are identified as Research Contacts within the Insight application as well as those who are in Approver/Delegate roles in both the Insight and InfoEd applications. Accessing the Application: https://ras.partners.org Approvers Within the RAS system, the approvers of business processes have been revised to represent the business need, as opposed to a 'one size fits all' sign off process. These are new and are documented in the Admin user manual: IRB Submission-Approver IRB Submission Alternate-Approver RBT Approver RBT Signficant Balance-Approver With this change there is no longer the concept of a "Primary Department Administrator" as the sign off person is designated for each process. 1
Research Contacts 36823 40945 With the introduction of RAS, central users can no longer update departmental contact types; these will all be maintained by the departments using the RAS system. For changes to the IRB approvers there is a link in RAS to contact the IRB office to make these changes as the IRB office will continue to maintain the IRB approvers. Updates to the primary organization or primary e-mail in Insight will also update the InfoEd system so that there is more consistency between user profile data. Include the "IRB Research Office Admin" on the e-mail that is sent to the COS Oversight person when a Chief/Chair, Department Administrator or Effort Manager changes.

Patient Care Corrections Agreements - Residual Balance Transfers 36178 36180 Effort Reporting 37876 40047 6907912 36102 6685620 Provide the ability to create a correction directly from the Patient Care Details page in Insight. The benefits of automating this include: Ability to see who the request is with at any point on a page in Insight Automatic loading of transactions when possible for the data Insight has - no manual entry of transactions for the requests made on charges that are displayed on the Patient Care Details page A way to log other types of Patient Care Correction requests using the same type of online form in Insight Ability to incorporate a Late Cost Transfer file to the PC Correction request on the same request form; today users must fill out a separate form for this through the Research Management website Email sent once the request is initiated and processed A way for the Research Controller to cancel the request Change the RBT process to use the RBT-Approver to sign off on RBT submissions within a department/unit and to receive communications. This replaces the need for the 'primary' Department Administrator to sign off. Change the RBT process to use the RBT Significant Balance- Approver to sign off on RBT submissions where the RBT qualifies as significant balance. This replaces the need for the Chief/Chair to sign off. InfoEd's Prior Approval Flag will be used to determine when to show the "Significant Change in Effort" flag. This will initially be used only by the central offices and will available at a future date to the departments. There was an issue fixed related to the Signficant Change in Effort flag in that the flag should only be created when the variance is greater than or equal to 25%, as related to the actual effort being that much less than the committed effort.
