You can now add Qnaires to your pre-appointment reminders, in addition to the existing pre-visit Qnaires that are sent to patients with their appointment confirmation. This is beneficial for clinics who want to send a Qnaire a few hours before an appointment, such as a COVID-19 Qnaire to ensure patients are safe to attend the clinic in person. This also applies to group visits. See Customizing appointment reminders for an appointment type and Managing appointment reminders for a single appointment for more information.

When creating or modifying user groups, you can now choose which user groups appear in your Inbox and Schedules group filter (see Filtering your Inbox and Filtering your schedule for more information).

This is helpful for clinics that have many user groups. It is easier to search for and select the desired group from a shorter list. See Creating user groups for more information.

When you add a website or email address to a message, they are now converted to a hyperlink when you press Return {Enter}. For example when you send a message to a patient with a website address, they can now click on the link to open it. Previously the address was not a link and had to be copied and pasted.

This also applies to other documents in the CHR such as encounter notes, admin notes, templates.

📌 Note: If you have referenced a website or email address in your current clinic templates, you must update the templates. For example, if you reference a website in a message template, edit the template and press Return {Enter} after the website address to convert it to a hyperlink.

When you search for a facility in your CHR Contacts, the system now searches facilities by the name, address, phone, and fax number, instead of just the facility name. For example, this is helpful when you have multiple Shoppers Drug Mart facilities saved in your Contacts (address book), you can now type the address to easily find the one you need. See Searching for facilities or contacts in your "address book".

As part of this change, the search option (beside the search field) Facility name changed to Facility.

We removed the yellow background in all electronic labs. Lab results will now appear in your inbox with a white-only background. This makes it easier to read, print or fax.

Here’s what we recently added to the CHR help (help.inputhealth.com):

Two-factor authentication
We highly recommend adding additional layers of security to your CHR account, reducing the possibility of unauthorised access to your account and clinic patient database. We augmented our help around two-factor authentication.
