Version 5.4

Release notes for V5.4.

Health Checks

There have been many changes to the way clinical items and qualifiers can be designed. Recalls for a health check for example can be designed so that the recall is not completed until all required qualifiers have been completed within a predetermined time frame. The clinical item can then be linked to an MBS number. These changes allow the Aboriginal and TI Health Check to be implemented within Communicare. Contact Communicare for details.

Letter Writing

A beta version of letter writing is included in this version.

Default Settings

All users may notice after the upgrade to this version that Communicare will intially revert to default settings for such things as sizing and placement of forms, printer assignments and dates in reports. Once you have reset these they will continue to be remembered.

Provider Specialities

26 new specialities have been added from the Australian Standard Clasification of Occupations (ASCO). All of the ASCO Health Occupations are now included. Some of the existing specialities have been renamed to make them easier to find. For example, 'Medical Practitioner - GP' has been renamed 'General Medical Practitioner'.

Miscellaneous

There have been a number of minor fixes and improvements.
