Change in Plans

Usually when things are changed, the Data Entry Center is the last to know about it. But today Koa came to us in the morning to talk about making a change that they thought would help us enter data faster. The Acuity & Data Analysis group that is responsible for on-line registration is creating a spread sheet to help populate the fields that we enter for the demographics for each record. In theory, they can export the Excel spreadsheet to VAMS to populate the data in the demographics page, that will speed up our data entry by about 1 minute per record. If it works. This morning I told Koa I wanted to do a small test run of 30 minutes to an hour's worth of appointments to see whether populating the fields via the spreadsheet would help or hinder the process. By this afternoon Koa had completed building the spreadsheet & linking it to the on-line registration; but he was not sure we would have enough information to do a test tomorrow since nearly all the appointments had already been made by the time he uploaded the questionnaire to the One Oʻahu registration site. So we have decided to schedule the test for some time next Tuesday. For today we entered 946 forms; the expected number was 989.

Lunch today was from Sugoi Bento; the vegetarian option was the Oriental Salad. Even though it does not have much protein at all I decided to go with it to lower the amount of calories I am taking in today.

Yes, I am having to eat indoors now.

 

Today I covered over 1 mile while checking on things as the data entry lead. I donʻt know exactly how much ground I covered since I only remembered to turn on the Samsung app while I was on my way to pick up my lunch.

 

On the way home I stopped at Times, I wanted to introduce Paris to furikake salmon. But they had none of the fillets left; I ended up getting a pre-made bento for each of us for dinner. I did not like it; I thought it was too dry. But Paris said she liked it; wait until she tries the good stuff!

The LG gave his update today; per a study in The Lancet, 88% of cases can be identified with pre-travel testing. There were 100 new cases of COVID-19 reported today, bringing the known cases up to 29,681. There was 1 new death reported today, bringing the the death toll up to 463; currently 1200 cases are considered to be active. The 7-day new case average for O'ahu is 58 with a 2.2% positivity rate.
