What’s new in the CHR
What’s new in TELUS CHR Mobile
Added permissions for schedule, flowsheet and cover page templates
To further enhance the security of your CHR, we added separate user permissions to create or modify cover page, flowsheet, and schedule templates. Previously they were grouped under the Templates: Encounters permission.
To enable these permissions for your account, ask your clinic administrator. For more information, see Modifying user permissions.
Display options for medications in flowsheets
When adding a medication to flowsheets, you can now customize its display options. For example, you can select to view the start and end date of the medication along with its dose. This is helpful when you want to analyze whether changes in medications have impacted the patient’s lab results or other data. For more information, see Using patient flowsheets.
Adding primary practitioner to appointment notifications
You can now add primary practitioner variables to appointment notifications. This is helpful when you want to display the patient’s primary practitioner in appointment reminders instead of the appointment provider. For example, if the patient is booked with a physician assistant that they may not be familiar with. When updating or editing appointment notifications, select the desired variable to add.
Contacts role permissions
For clinics with RBAC enabled, contacts role permissions have been enhanced. These added permissions provide you additional control over which users can access, create or edit contacts and facilities. For more information, see Role permission options (role-based access control).
British Columbia - Facility and Diagnostic Facility Number Changes
When creating bills, in addition to the Facility Number field you now have a Diagnostic Facility field. The Diagnostic Facility field shows diagnostic facility numbers provided by Teleplan, whereas the Facility Number is specific to your clinic.
