I need to enter an infusion - but I cannot see the lot number that I infused??

    Ensure that any vials in emergency kits or with other caregivers are accounted for.
    These should also be checked to ensure they are used prior to expiration so they do not get wasted.

    Confirm what you have - then email the inventory lot number and numbers of each vials to ichip@pbco.ca. An adjustment will be made.

How do I correct my inventory in iCHIP (i.e. what I have at home is not the same as showing in ICHIP)?

    Make sure you have indicated that your most recent order has been "picked up" - this is done when you log on before the ichip home page is displayed. Make sure you scroll down to double check whether the lot number is there. If it still is not showing email the ichip team at ichip@pbco.ca with the lot number and number of vials to add in.
    Do not pick another lot if that was not what you actually gave - it may make your inventory inaccurate.

    If you utilized factor from a sibling's inventory for an infusion - please email ichip@pbco.ca the switch so this can be corrected in both the patient and sibling's records.

    1. Error with the Date given - You can fix this! - Please go into the past infusions record in the PHM. If you select the infusion given in error you can change the date to the correct one or re-assign this infusion to another date.
    2. Error with the Lot/ Vial Number infused - This needs to be fixed by the ICHIP program team - please email ichip@pbco.ca
    3. Error with the reason infusion given - If it is simply the location or details of the bleed entry again you can go into the past infusion and remove or add more details and then resave changes. If you need to change an infusion from a bleed to prophylaxis and from prophylaxis to bleed you will need to contact the ICHIP program team to correct this again at ichip@pbco.ca with the details of the change needed.

Why do I receive an error when I click on a browser tab to return to iCHIP?

    Newer versions of Google Chrome have a memory saving feature which automatically discards browser tabs when system memory is low.

    When you return to the tab, it causes the page to reload which may cause an error or you may be logged out of the application.

    To log back in to the application, close your browser and open it again.

    To disable this setting:
    1. Go to chrome://flags/
    2. Search for discard
    3. Under Automatic tab discarding, change the value from Default to Disabled
