Version 13.6

Saved documents that are over 8 hours old can now be sent securely. Previously, after 8 hours the document, sender, recipient and patient details would become read-only and the document could not be sent. Now the document details will become read-only after 8 hours, but the sender, recipient and patient details will only become read-only after the document has been sent. A document may still only be sent once and only to one recipient. The document details will also become read-only as soon as a document is sent, even if it is less than 8 hours old.

Scanned documents can now be rotated to aid on-screen viewing. The Rotate Image 90° button can be used to change view of the document from landscape to portrait and vice versa. Note that orientation changes are to assist viewing only and are not saved or reflected in prints of scanned documents. For more information see Scanning Documents.

This report now also shows the Provider Speciality, listed beneath the Provider Name under the signature line.

In the Historical Progress Note within the Clinical Record, the Service Header buttons will now indicate if the service was after-hours.

Transport requirements are no longer allowed to have a pickup date and a dropoff date. Only one date/time may be specified.

Communicare now supports backing up to double layer DVD+/-R discs (DVD+/-R/DL). For more information, see Backup Regimes.

The ‘Send Shared Health Summary to PCEHR’ and ‘Send Event Summary to PCEHR’ tickboxes will default to unticked if the patient has not yet indicated whether they consent to send documents to the PCEHR. Previously they only defaulted to unticked if the patient had specifically not consented to send documents to the PCEHR.

Image type qualifiers can now be printed by right clicking on the image and selecting "Print Image". Images will be sent to the Communicare Default printer.

A new printer assignment has been added for use with charts. For more information see Printer Assignments.

When closing the clinical record, if there are any unprinted prescriptions on the patient, a message will appear confirming whether you would like these prescriptions to be printed. This message now appears before the Medicare claim window.

Patient merge has been improved to clean-up duplicate and similar names. Refer to Patient Merge for full details.

'Legal Guardian' has been added as a new Relationship option when recording additional kin or emergency contact information in a patient's biographic record.

The MBS item search window has been updated with a new pop-out window to display the full description for MBS items with long descriptions.
