I do the modules as a ScreenMan "POP_UP" and access is on almost every screen. Discover an error or omission, go to QA field and hit <ENTER> and set of fields (driven by MJA taxonomy) allow anyone to add the QA note on the fly. These are sorted and printed monthly, or at least every 2-3 months. The print actually goes to disk then imported to Excel (any favorite spreadsheet), graphed, and displayed in staff break-room. Graphs are used to decide staff training ...tx/t
