Warning: the login and password are valid for one hospital only. If you work in many hospitals you need to ask one login and password for each hospital . Peer Review is based on hospitals, not on cardiologists ! You should never use the same password for two different hospitals.
Only those Behra validated Emails will receive a login and a password
- Sensitive data including first name, last name, birthdate, etc.. will be encrypted on the server. This is done in two ways. An irrversible encryption occurs (hashing) for the data that will be transmitted to the Peer Review group. A reversible encryption using the modified password as a key (Data Encryption System) will be used to encrypt the data available to the different centers. Since the password is unique to each center, even if the very unlikely situation in which a center would have access to another center data they will always be unreadable. Furthermore the clear passwords can be found nowhere on any server. So in the very unlikely situation in which the whole database was stolen not a single piece of encrypted data could possibly be unencrypted. Finally exchanges between the server and the client will be done though a secured server (SSL technology).
- For those patients who do not wish their name to be on the server, even with strong encryption, follow these steps: use either a fake first name and last name or a number. In order for you to identify your patients on the server you will have to keep a list on your local computer that will match the real patient first name and last name with the fake first name and last name encoded. One solution can be to replace the name by the unique patient hospital_ID number and to replace the first name by a number to be incremented for each successive patient. Please note that doing this will not make interhospital tracability of the patients possible anymore. See also important information provided in the preablation administrative form ().
- Basically a center will be asked to fill out three different forms
- a preablation admnistrative form with the patient information( ID).
- an ablation form containing clinical and ablation data.
- follow-up forms. They can be as many as you can.
When your work is finished either log you out or close the browser, in order to prevent unauthorized people to access the data.
- All problems have to be reported using the contact form.
- All accesses are logged.
- Cookies and javascript have to be enabled for this software to work (usually they are by default). Sometimes in Windows XP a message stating that javascript is disabled appears in the task bar of the explorer. You should accept javascript activation.
- If a link does not activate either javascript is not activated or the new page is considered as a popup and is blocked. In that case activate the link while pressing the Ctrl key.
