Version 8.3

Release notes for V8.3.

Synchronisation Client - One way Synchronisation

This version introduces the next phase in database synchronisaton. The existing database replication client (allowing a user to take a copy of the database away from the network but not to upload changes to the main database automatically) has now been superseded by a data synchronisation client - one-way synchronisation. This allows the user to take a copy of the database away from the network and, on returning, upload any changes to the main database electronically.

Contact COMMUNICARE on (08) 6212 6900 if you are interested in taking advantage of this new functionality. Health services with mobile health providers who work in areas of poor connectivity will be able to record consultations 'in the field' and not have to spend time back in the clinic re-entering data into the main database.

New clinical items

The Communicare Value Added dataset has been enhanced by the addition of ten age-based child development check clinical items based on West Australian and CARPA guidelines. These will appear on a button in the clinical record labelled Child health.

Fourteen new examination clinical items have been added to a button labelled Examination.

Contact Communicare if these buttons are not visible after this upgrade. If you do not wish to use these items at your site please contact your administrator who can disable them.
