Off-schedule release notes 2025

2025

Updated today

New CHR versions are released on a regular bi-weekly schedule. However, there are times where a fix is released prior to the next scheduled release. These off-schedule release fixes are documented here and are not included in the main release notes, unless it is an improvement.

Fixes and improvements

April 2025

Version 25.7.4 - April 14, 2025

  • If your clinic uses TELUS eClaims and View billing is enabled in the CHR Connect settings, you no longer get a Visible to patient is invalid validation error when trying to submit Insured Billing eClaims.

Version 25.7.2 - April 10, 2025

  • If you were using CHR Connect but then had it deactivated or downgraded to the preview tier, the button to complete a Qnaire is once again visible in patient notifications.

  • Alberta: Clinics using role-based access control and CPAR can assign patients to a panel from the Assigned Panels widget in the patient's chart once again.

March 2025

Version 25.6.2 - March 29, 2025

  • PrescribeIT®: When you create or edit a message with a pharmacy selected in the To field, if you remove the pharmacy as the recipient, you can now re-select the pharmacy from the list.

  • PrescribeIT®: When you create a message and enter text in the To field to search for a recipient, once you select a recipient your search text is cleared so you can search for another recipient.

Version 25.6.1 - March 27, 2025

Improvement

Alberta: Fee code updates

We have updated the Alberta fee code list in the CHR to include changes effective March 14, 2025. This update includes new fee codes, updates to existing codes and modifiers, and facility number changes. All of your billing code favourites remain.

PEI: Fee code updates

We have updated the PEI fee code list in the CHR to align with the new PEI Physician Services Agreement. The changes are effective April 1st, 2025 and include new fee codes, discontinued codes, and updated fee amounts. All of your billing code favourites remain.

📌 Note: Until March 31st, 2025 at 11:59 PM, you can continue to use existing fee codes at current rates.

Fixes

  • Manitoba: When creating provincial bills for patients aged 65 and older or for patients receiving hospital care, related premiums will no longer be automatically added as separate billing items. These premiums are now incorporated into the visit fee codes instead of being added as standalone service codes.

  • PrescribeIT®: When you send a message to another user in your clinic, in the To field, the user display names now appear instead of the user first and last names. This makes it easier to distinguish between users with similar names.

Version 25.5.2 - March 14, 2025

Improvement

New lab report matching status label

When viewing lab reports from the Inbox, a new label now clearly shows whether a lab result was automatically matched by the system or manually matched by a user.

The following labels appear in the lab report:

  • Auto-matched shows when the system automatically found and linked the lab report to a patient.

  • Manually matched shows when a user manually linked the lab result to a patient.

  • No label appears for lab reports that haven't been matched to any patient.

📌 Note: This feature applies to newly-received electronic lab reports only.

Version 25.4.5 - March 7, 2025

  • Referrals now instantly update when required actions are completed, allowing you to immediately proceed with subsequent steps such as saving the referral, without refreshing the page.

  • Ontario: All HRM (Health Report Manager) reports deliver successfully to users' inboxes again.

Version 25.4.4 - March 5, 2025

  • When you select content from patient charts to print or fax from the patient dashboard > Update Information > Patient Chart, closing and reopening the window where you select specific content now clears previous selections. This ensures that only the specific content you intend to share is included when printing or faxing patient information.

February 2025

Version 25.4.2 - February 27, 2025

  • The user permissions Templates: Labels and User Profile Settings now appear in the user permissions list again, allowing you to assign these permissions to staff members.

Version 25.3.4 - February 24, 2025

Improvement

New Brunswick: Adding out-of-province referring practitioners to bills

When billing for patients referred by out-of-province physicians, when adding billing items to a bill, in the Referring Practitioner field, you can now search for and select the code 25734 - Out of Province Referring Practitioner. This allows you to accurately submit bills for patients referred from outside New Brunswick.

Fix

  • When faxing a file from a patient's chart and searching for a contact's fax number, contacts without individual fax numbers now appear in search results if they belong to a facility with a fax number.

  • When working with a patient's case template, you can now select and update case data points again.

  • When creating a WorkSafeBC bill from an encounter with a linked appointment, the system saves the form without any errors and auto-populates the Start Time and Finish Time fields in the billing item again.

Version 25.2.4 - February 3, 2025

  • For users in UBC facilities, when accessing patient charts with incorrectly formatted allergen types (created in or before 2016) you no longer see a server error. You can now access these patient charts as expected.
