Version 5.9

Release notes for V5.9.

Investigation Requests

The means of selecting investigation tests has been greatly improved. There is now a keyword search box which will accept up to two keywords separated by a space (e.g. ANTIB DN). The keyword search includes all enabled tests not just the shortlist (which still appears when creating a new request).

Users can add new keywords to a test at File|Reference Tables|Investigations|Investigation Keywords. For example, attaching the keyword ANTENATAL to all common antenatal tests will mean that using the ANTENATAL keyword will present a short list of just those tests. This will allow the doctor to quickly select the antenatal tests required without further searching.

Drug Browser

Sites can now choose to present generic names in the Drug Browser instead of brand names. This feature is turned on in the System Parameters form and can be overridden by a user using a checkbox in the Drug Browser.

Automatic Patient Status Change

This feature can now be disabled by removing the Inactivity years value in the System Parameters form.

Investigation Requests

Pending acceptance by your pathology lab a site can choose to use Bulk Assignment Request Forms. These have the label 'Bulk Assignment Request Form' and are not required to be signed by a doctor. This feature is turned on in the System Parameters form.

Standard Reports

Some standard reports with missing subtitles have been repaired.
