View history of subject dictionary delta change reports

The History feature for the subject dictionary delta change report provides a structured overview of all previously generated subject dictionary delta change reports. This functionality helps you efficiently track, access, and manage past reports, ensuring you can review coding variations over time without needing to regenerate them.

Using the History option, you can:

  • Locate previously generated reports: view a chronological list where the most recent reports appear at the top.

  • Track key details: check report metadata such as the creation date, selected dictionary type, subject information, and batches used for comparison.

  • Download reports: retrieve XLSX files of past reports directly from the history table for re-analysis or sharing.

To view a history of subject dictionary delta change reports

  1. In the Medical Coding application header, select the REPORTS tab.

    Column

    Details

    File Name

    Displays the name of the report file, typically including the dictionary or batch details for easy identification.

    Size (Kb)

    Shows the size of the report file in kilobytes, giving you an idea of the data volume contained within.

    Main Batch

    Displays the name of the primary batch used for comparison in the report, representing the baseline data set.

    Compare With

    Identifies the batch compared against the main batch to highlight differences in coding or other updates.

    Dictionary Type

    Specifies the coding dictionary used to generate the report, such as MedDRA or WHODrug.

    Key

    Displays the unique identifier used to compare coding results at the subject level. This column helps differentiate entries by specifying the reference point for comparison, ensuring that coding variations are tracked accurately.

    For example, if you see "AE: SUBJID" in this column, it means that the system compares coding results based on subject ID in the Adverse Events (AE) domain. Or, if you see "CM: Visit" in this column, it means that the system compares coding results based on visit information in the Concomitant Medications (CM) domain.

    New

    Displays the count of new entries identified in the comparison—entries that are present in the batch being compared (compare with) but not in the source batch (main batch).

    Deleted

    Displays the count of deleted entries—entries that were in the main batch but are missing in the batch being compared.

    Changed

    Shows the count of modified entries, representing those that exist in both batches but with differences in coding or associated data.

    Created Time

    Indicates the exact timestamp when the report was generated, helping you track report creation over time.

    Created by

    Displays the username of the person who generated the report, ensuring accountability and traceability.

Now, you have a clear overview of all generated reports, making it easy to manage and analyze historical data.

A collection of verbatim terms (VTs) grouped together for the purpose of medical coding. Each batch is created to streamline the coding process, allowing multiple VTs to be processed simultaneously.

An internationally used set of terms relating to medical conditions, medicines, and medical devices created to assist regulators with sharing information.

A coding service that is used for the unified coding of drugs throughout the pharmaceutical industry. In order to achieve this, the service provides the WHODrug dictionary which is an international classification of medicines created by the WHO Program for International Drug Monitoring. The dictionary is managed by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre and contains drug code numbers, along with related information such as trade names, active ingredients, and additional information, such as marketing authorization, pharmaceutical forms, and strengths of the drugs.

For example, the WHODrug drug code for the substance Ibuprofen is 001092 01 001.
