Release Notes: Mar 12, 2020

New Features/ Enhancements

  • Stop users from snoozing any alerts beyond the current day. The system will give a friendly message that snooze they are trying to set is crossing over another day and would not be allowed.
  • ALF admin now can approve or disapprove multiple requests for un-passing medications. Until now, they had to click the approve button separately for each medication. This functionality should make it efficient for ALF admin to act on all requests at the same time. 
  • Whenever a charting note or hospital admission is made, we are now showing that as a message to the admin under the messages section. This new section shows all charting notes being entered. As always, any new charting notes will update the count on the message icon on the top left corner. Once that note is marked as "read" then count will reduce accordingly. 
  • Any medication that comes from pharmacy via direct interface now will have start time as a time when it was transferred. Until now, the start time was set as the start of that day but this change will eliminate any missed med alerts for an earlier time if a medication was sent later.
  • Made "Discharge Reason" and "Discharge Text" fields editable all the time, for discharged residents. This allows the caretaker to fix any reason or note they have entered during discharge. The discharge reason field is now available for all discharges and not only if "Other" selected as a discharge value.  
  • Added functionality for care taker to request to unpass PRNs along with regular medications. Since PRNs are not scheduled, a warning message is shown to care taker while unpassing them that it can not be re-passed for past time, if unpassed. ALF admins can also unpass PRNs from Unpass Med module now. 
  • Added functionality for users to edit instructions on order anytime. For audit purposes, it will be locked and the user has to unlock it to edit. Users will be first prompted to enter a reason for a change before editing order instruction. This change of reason along with old and new instructions will be available for ALF admin under the messages section.
  • Changed residents' name display everywhere to show as first name first and then last name.
  • Changed page numbering display for Individual MAR report to reset page number for each resident. This will ensure that page number always starts as 1 when a new resident is displayed on Individual MAR report even if multiple residents are selected. This should help admins to print a report for all residents at once but still staple or send them separately with correct page numbering.
