Version 10.6

Release notes for V10.6.

Prescribing

  • Prescription labels now also show the patient's date of birth. The drug description and dosage text wraps to multiple lines and may shrink in size if it does not fit inside the allocated space.
  • New prescriptions now default to 'once off' instead of 'regular' for providers without a Prescriber Number. This change applies to sites using the rural prescription form. It will not deny users from adding regular medications; only the default behaviour has been changed.

Investigations

  • Users are now able to request an investigation on behalf of another claiming provider. A selection of available claiming providers is displayed on the investigation request form when the current provider does not have a valid Provider number for the encounter place. This option is enabled in Organisation Maintenance. A default investigation provider may also be set in Organisation Maintenance.
  • Users can now add and remove multiple investigations on the request investigations screen using the '>>' and '<<' buttons respectively. After filtering the list of investigations using the keyword search function, the add all (>>) button is enabled. Pressing the button adds all the listed investigations. The remove all (<<) button will remove all investigations that do not have a result attached.

Service Recording

  • Users will now be prompted with the service selection dialog (as encountered on entry to Clinical Record), when attempting to add new services via the '+' button in Service Recording. Selecting an existing service will open its details for editing. The dialog will only be presented if another service already exists for the chosen patient on the same day. This change aims to reduce the creation of duplicate services.
  • Additionally the service selection dialog will no longer auto-select the first service in the list, in the interest of improving accuracy (for claiming purposes, etc) when recording multiple encounters with a patient.

See Service Selector for more detail.

Clinical Record To Do List

Double-clicking on a recall now gives you the option to complete, modify or cancel the recall.

Biographics

Patient aliases are now ordered as follows: preferred name first (in bold type) and then other names with the most recently added first. This is a change from the previous ordering which was all names ordered with the most recently added last. For patients with more than three names this used to lead to the preferred name possibly being hidden and the most current alias being hidden also.

SEHR (Northern Territory)

  • SEHR functionality has been enhanced for reliability when manually sending Current Health Profiles via the Clinical Record toolbar CHP button, regardless of whether the service is subsequently removed.
  • 'Administration' encounter modes will now also trigger the prompt for whether the encounter should be sent to the SEHR, as for other modes.
  • Users will now be able to attempt eRegistration for patients with incomplete details; patients no longer need an address to be able to proceed with eRegistration. A prompt will come back from the SEHR if required details are missing.
