Version 12.2
Release notes for V12.2.
Patient Searching
The Forename and Surname textboxes have been removed from the patient search dialog. These fields have been replaced with a single 'Patient Name' textbox. In this new field you may type the patient's forenames, surnames or part of each. It also supports the following as common delimiters: Spaces ' ', Parentheses '()', Full Stops '.', Colons ':', Semi-Colons ';', Commas ',', and Exclamation Marks '!'. This means that you can search for forenames and surnames at once, delimiting your text in between.
For more details on this update, see Patient Search.
EPC reports now CDM
Two reports in Communicare have been renamed in line with health department recommendations:
'The Department of Health and Ageing is removing references to EPC in the (Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Group A15 (GP management plans, team care arrangements, multidisciplinary care plans and case conferences) items (721-779) and in the Miscellaneous Group 3 (allied health individual) items (10950-10970).
The change has been made because the GP Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) care planning items were removed from the MBS in 2005 and replaced by the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) items (721-731). The term 'EPC plan' is now obsolete.'
- Electronic Claims | EPC Summary for Selected Patient --> Electronic Claims | CDM Summary for Selected Patient
- Electronic Claims | EPC Summary Patients with current 723 --> Electronic Claims | CDM Summary Patients with current 723
To Do List
When referrals are ongoing (and thus display in the To Do List) the description includes the organisation/person referred to/from. This will allow easier monitoring of referrals where more generic referral types are used. For example, what used to display as '<Referred> referral' now displays as '<Referred> referral - to Dr Smith at City Hospital'.
Service Record - Medicare Tab
- A new column with the heading 'Referred' has been added to the far right of the grid. This indicates whether an item has 'Specialist Services' selected. If it has been selected and details are complete, a green dot will be displayed. If it has been selected, but some details are missing, a yellow dot is displayed. No image is displayed if 'Specialist Services' is not ticked.
- Four new text boxes have been added to display the CentreLink and DVA card details for the patient. The card number and the expiry date are shown.
- The CentreLink details were previously displayed on this screen as a label. The DVA details were not previously displayed on this screen.
Prescribing - Medication Details
Two new text boxes have been added to display the DVA card details for the patient. The card number and the expiry date are shown.
Referral/Admission Display Descriptions
Display description for 'Referral' and 'Admission' clinical items now incorporates additional information. The name of the organisation, direction (to/from), and the name of the person for the referral/admission will be included in the display description if they exist.
Bulk Bills Status Form
- A button to print Bulk Bill Assignment Advice has been added.
- A new 'Claims Admin Note' column has also been added to the grid, displaying the admin notes regarding the claims. Users are able to edit notes by clicking on the green notepad icon available above the grid, or in the popup menu accessible right-clicking or double-clicking the record.
Data Synchronisation - Offline Client
Offline clients can now only claim for a service that has been created offline. If a service has been created online, then an offline client can view it but not claim for it.
