Version 6.1

Release notes for V6.1.

Data Entry Wizard

Data entry wizardThis version introduces a new, simpler way of recording a clincal item in multiple patient records. The Data Entry Wizard can be used when a provider has performed a procedure for a group of patients. For example, an immunisations nurse may have visited a community and given Fluvax jabs to twenty patients. This method allows the nurse to select a date, then the clinical item, then select the patients one after the other. Access to the Clinical Record is not required so this method will save time. The Data Entry Wizard can also be used by non-medical providers to record items in a patient's record without having the right to open clinical records.

The Communicare Administrator should contact Communicare Systems for an access code to enable this module and give rights to users.

Patient Labels

There is now a third standard patient label design suitable for Avery L7163 labels (14 to a sheet of A4). These labels are larger than the other labels available and contain more address, contact and card details.

Data replication

Brand new data replication client. This replaces the old data replication client.

Old replication clients must be fully uninstalled before the new one is installed.

Electronic Claim Reports - Medicare Australia

Added optimized reports to help reconcile and manage the claims that have been paid by Medicare Australia.

Performance improvements

Major optimization done for remote connections over a VPN. Communicare can be now used with good performance, in a Client-Server configuration, over a VPN connection with an average round-trip latency of 45ms.

Many minor cosmetic optimizations in the visual interface.
