The TELUS CHR team has been working hard to get you new features and enhancements. Here are some highlights:

What’s new in the CHR

  • Patient’s allergies in the chart header: We’ve added an Allergies indicator to the patient chart header thanks to your valuable feedback. Keep it coming!

  • AI-enabled document matching: The inbox uses AI to automatically suggest patients to attach incoming files to. A big administrative time saver over manual search (paid feature, contact emrsales@telus.com for details).

  • Streamlined splitting of multi-page PDFs: You can now specify which page or page range should be assigned to each patient in a single step, instead of deleting pages to split a document.

  • Multi-date schedule templates: This enhancement allows you to apply flexible schedule templates and vacation schedule templates to multiple dates all at once by specifying repeat options.

  • Infant record management in Obstetrical Care: You can use the new Obstetrical Care section of the Health Profile to record infant details such as delivery type or final gestational age.

  • Obstetrical Care section in the patient summary: You can now easily view the Obstetrical Care section from the Summary view of the patient's chart.

  • New fields for Injections and Immunizations: We’ve added a new field to add Drug Code and Manufacturer when recording an immunization or injection for a patient, or adding a clinic-wide frequent injection in Settings.

  • Patient hover-over: You can now hover your cursor over the patient’s name in the header and in the Opened patients list to see additional demographic information.

  • Improved patient search: Now when searching, you receive more meaningful results from what you provided. We improved the quality of search results and added the ability to search using special characters and accents.

  • Search encounters by diagnosis: You can search for encounters based on diagnosis by filling in the new Diagnosis column in the Encounters section of patient charts.

  • Alberta Client Registry: Create patient charts faster and more accurately using the Client Registry which contains demographic information and coverage eligibility for all patients who have encountered the health system in Alberta.

  • Performance improvements: We continue to make significant performance improvements in various areas of CHR guided by our monitoring system and your feedback.
