Version 6.4

Doctors are no longer forced to enter a Days Supply for a medication. If no Days Supply is entered the user is prompted to enter a value. The user can ignore this prompt. Communicare will then apply a default behaviour that makes the medication current for 30 days for each repeat specified.

This version of Communicare makes changes to the address book in preparation for peer-to-peer messaging. It also adds extra fields for address information, such as e-mail address and contact name.

Administrators should check that the address book is up-to-date. The main item to check is that address line 2 has been successfully translated into the correct locality and state. If address line 2 is now a duplicate of the locality and state then it can be cleared.

Note that either the person name or the organisation can be empty but at least one must have a description. Where appropriate, Communicare displays the person name if there is one, otherwise the organisation.

A new report at Report|Documents|Added Between Two Dates will allow managers to report on care plans added between two dates. The report is also flexible enough to cover other types of document.

Any locally created SQL reports that search for the REFERRAL_TO_TYPE table should be edited to look now for the ADDRESS_BOOK table. This may affect referral, admission and transport reports.

Locally created Query Builder reports that use the Clinical Record model and also select from the REFERRAL_TO_TYPE table will need to be tested and repaired.

The administrator should contact COMMUNICARE for further help and advice if required.
