Improvements
Movable patient and patient search windows
When adding or updating a patient chart or searching for a patient, you can now move the New Patient, Update Patient and patient search windows. This allows you to see multiple CHR windows side by side. For example when searching for a patient for an unmatched document, you can have the PDF preview and patient search visible at the same time.
Minimizing the New Patient and Update Patient windows
You can now minimize the New Patient and Update Patient windows. The minimized windows appear in the bottom dock, next to My Task List. This allows you to navigate to another section of the CHR and reopen the window.
Improvements to flowsheets, including printing in table view
You can now print flowsheets in Table format. For card and table format printing, the header now appears on each page and also includes the patient's contact number. If you have any entries hidden, this is noted in the printout. In addition, in Table view, pagination for columns and rows shows at the bottom of the page respectively.
Additionally, when viewing or printing flowsheets in table format, entries made on the same day are filed in a single column, making it easier to read the flowsheet and saving you paper when printing.
For more information, refer to Using patient flowsheets.
Receiving PDF files from patients during virtual visits
The CHR now supports PDF file types for the virtual visit patient task Upload files. The workflow for sending or receiving PDFs is the same as the one currently used for JPGs. For more information, refer to Creating Patient Actions for your Pathways.
Confirmation window removed when signing encounters
To save extra clicks when creating an encounter, we removed the confirmation window that appeared when signing encounters.
Presenting Issue field remains static in encounter notes
When recording encounter notes, the top Presenting Issue field now remains visible when scrolling through the encounter note. This highlights the reason for the patient's visit and if not entered is a great reminder to add one before saving or signing your encounter.
Closing the prescription pad in an encounter prompts you to save
When creating prescriptions from an encounter and using the X at the top-right corner to close the prescription pad, a confirmation window now appears prompting you to Save or Cancel the prescription.
