Version 6.3

• Processing and Payment reports are now merged into one and the new button has been named Get Reports. This will automatically retrieve the processing report and if successful it will get the payment report.
• Every morning Communicare will automatically get the reports for all claims not processed yet. This means the users no longer need to run the reports manually. It is still very important that the Electronic Claims Administrator checks the current status window for errors.

Where appropriate, OK buttons in Communicare that save data to the database are now labelled Save rather than OK.

Some standard Communicare reports on the Patients menu have been moved to the Population Analysis menu. They are the reports that only show counts of patients rather than lists of patients' names and details.

The buttons to add a new scanned document and add a letter have been moved to the left for consistency.

Users can now search for generic drugs using synonyms.

There is a new button in the drug browser and on the medication details form that will show the MIMS Consumer Medicines Information for the selected medication.

This page of the clinical record has been redesigned to better display items and their details - the extra details, such as provider, service and qualifiers, now appear on the right instead of at the bottom.

Sites that import the EPC dataset can now have a child health check to cover item 708 (claimable since May 1st for Aboriginal children under 15 years old).

Administrators can now define a default access right for a user group's progress notes. This is done by using File|User Groups and selecting the Clinical item Rights tab. For a user group selected at the top you can specify which of their access rights is to be used as a default by using the checkbox under 'Default'. If no default is specified then Communicare will use 'Common' or 'General' as the default, if they are allowed for that user group, otherwise the first right they are allowed will be used.

Communicare regularly distributes new reports and letter templates when a site upgrades. The 'owner' of these reports is MEDISYS. Site administrators should find these reports using File|Queries|Import Query from file and untick the Public tickbox if the reports are not applicable at your site (for example, the DASAR, DATS and Drug and Alcohol reports only apply to residential drug and alcohol centres). Similarly, letter templates not applicable at your site should be found using Tools|Communicare Templates and made not public by double-clicking and unticking the Public tickbox.
