Version 7.7

Release notes for V7.7.

Healthy for Life

This version of Communicare introduces version 3 of the Healthy for Life reports (October, 2007). See Healthy for Life Reports for further details.

A new report at Pregnancy > Outcomes allows users to see those pregnancies that have been ended between two dates. This is the main criterion for inclusion in the maternal/antenatal reports for H4L. The NPCC > ... reports provide more detailed information about the patients included in the chronic disease reports for H4L (note that the NPCC reports also include non-Aboriginal patients).

Note: Important note about version 1 reports:

The upgrade to this version of Communicare will first remove all reports on the Healthy for Life menu before adding all the version 3 reports. If you wish to preserve any of the version 1 reports the Administrator should rename the old reports from Healthy_for_Life [Report name] to Healthy_for_Life_V1 [Report name]. The underscore between 'Life' and 'V1' is essential. Renaming reports is done at File > Queries > Import Query from file.

Note: Important note about scheduled reports:

If you have scheduled the version 1 Healthy for Life reports to be run automatically and choose not to rename them before the upgrade you will find that these reports have been removed. The scheduled e-mails will display a message that the report could not be found. The Administrator should review the scheduled reports and select each appropriate new report. Reviewing scheduled reports is done at Tools > Scheduled Reports.
