Version 10.4

Release notes for V10.4.

Progress Notes

This version introduces further enhancements to the Integrated Progress Notes in the clinical record.
  • The progress notes tab now displays a historical list of notes on the left. The amount of detail shown in the historical notes is variable by the user.
  • The right hand side of the progress notes tab allows the user to enter the current progress notes. To-do list has been added at the bottom.
  • The font colour and style has been changed for plain text and for clinical items entered in the note.
  • Clinical items are now bordered for clarity and highlight when you hover the mouse cursor over the item.
  • Added spell checking to progress note.
  • See 'Progress Notes' for full details and instructions.

ACIR Claims List

This list now automatically excludes any immunisations that were performed in an encounter that has been marked as 'not claimable'.

Disabling of Dropdown List Items

Users can now disable list items for Dropdown List qualifiers. See Dropdown List Qualifiers for more information.

Service Recording

When double clicking a service in Service Recording, users are now presented with a prompt to either edit the service details or open the Clinical Record. Users without access to Clinical Record will simply get the service details without a prompt.

Service List

The appointment service list displayed in the appointments book and the clinical record (if the appointments module is enabled) now also displays service comments. See Service List for details.

Investigation Results

Incoming electronic investigation results are addressed in a more sensible manner. For sites that have multiple labs sending multiple results with different formatting of names (e.g. 'SMITH, JOHN', 'JOHN SMITH', 'SMITH, J', etc) these will now all appear addressed to the name as recorded in the Communicare Provider table, rendered in upper case (i.e. 'JOHN SMITH') so long as the provider number returned by the lab matches a provider number in the Communicare database.

During the period immediately after the upgrade there will be some unreviewed results that arrived before the upgrade that show in the 'old' format. Once these have been reviewed there will be the single name for each provider.

Sites where there is only one lab that is used will either notice no change (if the lab's convention is for 'FIRSTNAME SURNAME') or will have a temporary period with both the 'old' format (e.g. 'SMITH, JOHN') and the new, final format. Again, the 'old' format names will disappear with the last unreviewed result that arrived before the upgrade.
