EMR Datacenter™ Release Notes

Database paths;

The MyEMR® Mobile Verbiage utility has been modified to include all database path settings for all products.

Front desk window;

The cell phone number from the patient demographic record has been added to the active patient display frame.

dotNet control libraries;

To leverage maximum multi-core CPU performance, the multi-threaded user interface control libraries have been modified for most efficient rastorizing inside the single-threaded MDI windows.

Additional search criteria for appointment export;

Appointment day, the truncated day-only component of an appointment, has been added to streamline the Smart Select query parameters for exporting appointments to a comma delimited text file for the AppointmentCall hardware device.

A second interface has also been added for drag selection of the date range and provider ID.  The exported text fully qualified file name is stored for each provider ID.

Alternate document paths

..\Common paths are now definable on a Windows user profile basis for alternate configurations defined by the Windows Registry.

See HKCU\Software\VB and VBA Programs Settings\cpo.ini\OptionsDataFile\CommonPathAlt

Memory notification message;

The minimum memory notification message is now modified in support of physical RAM extension above 8GB.

Cumulative modular upgrades;

Various internal modular connectivity sockets are now distributed within EMR Datacenter to enhance cross platform connectivity.

Appointment edit window - new appointments;

When adding a new appointment, the "Remarks" field has been modified to automatically inherit the remarks from the most recently established appointment.

Insurance payer preference;

A preference for "Box 31:  Include Provider State License #" has been added as a checkbox option.  By default, this should not be checked as the NUCC.org specifications for Box 31 does not include this state license number because of the specificity of the NPI numbers appropriately listed. 

Exceptions to the use of Box 31 still persist.  This option provides this ability to override the factory default NUCC.org specifications for the CMS-1500 08/05 form.

Appointment Reminders and Visitometer;

These routines have been made more strict to provide error handling and notification for invalid or excessive dates caused by typographical errors.

Claim attachment MyEMR notes: multi-facility printing

This has been modified to examine the local site folder for the ClaimAttachment.rtf prior to the ..\Common\Documents folder.

Statement text file output;

The patient statement application has been modified to produce a Statement.txt file within the site folder of the currently active site, for EDI processing availability.

Provider name & number aliases;

The provider catalog and insurance processing routines have been amended to include alias values for provider number and provider names, in enhanced support for multi-facility and multi-organization insurance billing.

MyEMR modality and EMR Datacenter macros;

The treatment plan modalities customization from within MyEMR's Tools->Customize->Plan->Modalities window has been modified so that there is strict coordination between the visibility of MyEMR modalities and the EMR Datacenter macros.

Suppressing the visbility of a MyEMR modality will suppress the corresponding macro in EMR Datacenter.

Choosing "Retrieve Deleted" in the customize area of MyEMR will recover all invisible (psuedo-deleted) modalities and macros.

Insurance: Line item posting print preferences;

In User Preferences, on the Insurance tab, the preference has been added to show or hide line item entries that have been paid or otherwise have $0.00 outstanding for that line item.
