Just F'ing Do Your Jobs!
I am on round 3 of this damn report for work. (Reconciling subject prescription forms and follow-up check up forms.) First one was printed on 01/05/2009. The farthest I've gotten in reviewing and annotating this is page 177 of 355. And that took me 2 weeks! (ok, until 01/15/2009 with a few days out of the office for being in FL. But still...)At that point I realized I could not reconcile the records only by date (about 2,900 records over 355 enrolled subjects) but I had to add the dose the subject was on and the drug cycle they were on. I was having problems matching items *before* adding 3 new variables! So some of the comments on the 177 pages I reviewed are not only N/A, but some are exactly the opposite of what needs to be corrected with the extra information.
I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of MORONS because I can't get through this report even part way before needing to change it and finding more problems. And of course the longer it takes me, the more new mistakes and bad data they are putting in our system, and the more outdated these old things are.
How hard is it to fill out 1 prescription form when you change a subject's dose of drug, and one follow-up form when you check on them, number them with the same prescription number, then do the next set and number both of those with the *next* prescription number? Ok, I get that sometimes it is confusing because more drug is sent before the check-up call, so there will be an extra prescription number, or sometimes a prescription is written for 90 but the dose change is at 45 days so you don't send out more drug. But don't not write out a form for the dose change. Then my records show the subject was on .5 mg/kg and then 2.0 mg/kg, when between that I *know* there was a time the subject was on 1.25 mg/kg.
I feel like sending out the unannotated reports with instructions of:
1. A prescription form must be completed for EVERY subject dose change, regardless of additional medication being dispensed.
2. The prescription date on follow-up prescription forms MUST match the date of dose change recorded on the prior follow-up call form.
3. Drug cycles should follow in sequence 1, 2, 3, etc. and must have at least 1 prescription to start the cycle and only 1 follow-up call form to end the cycle.
4. Follow-up call dates MUST be after the prescription date for the same prescription number.
5. If a prescription number and date are listed multiple times on this report, more than one follow-up call form has been data entered with the same prescription number. Review the hard copy forms and data entry then correct the follow-up call form numbering.
6. If a follow-up call date is listed multiple times on this report, more than one prescription form has been data entered with the same prescription number. Review the hard copy forms and data entry then correct the prescription form numbering.
7. Find all your own F'ing problems and fix them, because it's not my job to guess what you did and figure out if forms are maybe missing or not, or just filled out wrong.
Meh.
