Help with Lab Notes login

The elements in the LOGIN section are required of all users. The purposes are to:

Keep accurate filings for UCLA Human Studies Protection Committee
Provide an automated logging and accounting system for scanner use
Serve as a place for all experimenters to log data in a form that can be easily accessed from any networked computer
Serve as a simple forum to communicate system problems to Mark Cohen to help in scanner maintenance
Serve as a record and database for all subject's on the scanner for retrospective analysis of experimental data.

Other than entering the scanner use logs, the system is voluntary. I will always be interested to hear if you have ideas that can help make it more useful.

To initiate a scan, you must enter in:

Basic patient demographics (for HSPC)
Your name ("Experimenter Name")
The research protocol to bill the scan time against.

Note that the computerized record of the scan will be sent to the user logged in as "Experimenter Name" and that the billing will be made against the protocol identified in "Research Protocol". If you try to bill against an account that you do not have priveleges in, we will contact you.

After logging in, press the 'Save Form Data' button to start your scanning session. You will then be given an opportunity to confirm the data entries.

When you have confirmed your entries, you will be shown a blank notes page that can be used for saving your experimental notes as you work. This will be sent to you by e-mail.

After your scanning session is completed, press the button labeled 'End MR Study'. This will indicate the end of your scan slot for record keeping. In the event that you forget to press the 'End MR Study' button, your scan session will automatically terminate after the period indicated by your entry into the PLANNED SCANNER USE selection. Only users with identfied passwords will be able to bill scans against your accounts. In the event that you forget your password, please select OTHER for billing and send a note to indicate the error.
