HERON Smoky Hill release enhances the timeline tool and limits REDCap access

Name and value (if applicable) are now available in the Timeline tool when hovering over an event. This enhancement expands the data analysis capabilities within HERON. For example, if you are interested in when antineoplastics were received in a patient set, you can add the antineoplastics folder to the timeline tool. Upon hovering over each event tic name of the antineoplastic and value if provided is displayed. Previously, users could easily see when the antineoplastic was administered in relation to a diagnosis, but the addition of these labels and values allows the users to see if a patient received more than one antineoplastic type and when that change occurred.

Access to REDCap projects in HERON is now limited to only those users defined in the REDCap project. If a user is not a member of the project, the project will not be visible within the HERON navigation tree to that user. It will be visible to project members who can add the project to queries within HERON.
