Abstract

between the AE entry rates per month was performed pre and post implementation. Results: There was an overall reduction from 254 dictionary terms to 63 terms. With the branching subcategory display, the effective number of terms that the end user has to sort through decreased from 254 to between 8 and 14 options. AE entry rates were measured pre and post implementation and illustrated in Table 1. The comparison of the two time periods showed a very dramatic increase of the recording of “defects” post implementation. Overall, there was a 124.4% increase when the two time periods were compared.
