Over six months, Chris Sande contributed to the canvas-medical/canvas-plugins and canvas-medical/documentation repositories, focusing on backend development, data modeling, and technical writing using Python, Django, and Markdown. He built a ProtocolOverride data model and schema to support protocol override management, enabling robust governance and future automation. Chris addressed critical bugs in value set query filtering, aligning queries with the data model to improve analytics accuracy. In documentation, he enhanced clarity for API usage and FHIR Patient data structures, corrected typos, and updated effect names, ensuring technical accuracy and reducing ambiguity for downstream developers and users integrating with the platform.

Month: 2024-11 — Delivered a foundational ProtocolOverride data model and DB schema in canvas-medical/canvas-plugins to support protocol override management within the canvas_sdk. This work establishes fields for protocol override data, cycle details, status, and associations to patient and user records, and creates the underlying database structure to persist and audit overrides. The effort lays groundwork for governance, auditing, and future automation of protocol override workflows.

October 2024 (canvas-plugins): Delivered a critical bug fix to ensure Value Set query filtering uses the correct field, improving data accuracy and reliability for downstream analytics. The issue caused ValueSetLookupQuerySet to compare codes with codings_code_in instead of codings__code, leading to incorrect filtering by system and codes. The patch updates the query to reference codings__code, aligning with the data model and restoring correct value-set filtering. Commit 3b4d7b53c6a385ebd862d15cf8a3b8b0a7af0d36 ("fix: valueSet query (#175)") was merged during the month."
