MyEMR for the Pocket PC Product Release Notes – October 2004 4Q2004

For the benefit of all products, a searchable online Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) for non-technical has been added.  Users are invited to participate, particularly in the FAQ forum for training level questions.

The user's Verbiage Exchange forum has been added to encourage users to exchange and share their verbiage customizations.  Users are required to register, and they receive a randomly generated password to complete their login process.  Users must provide a valid e-mail address.  Any difficulties with the Verbiage Exchange forum should be directed to support@softwaremotif.com.

A multi-select but independent sentence home instructions & patient counseling window has been added to the additional plan window.  This is a multi-select window as seen in other areas of the software, however, the verbiage it generates creates randomized, independent sentences with merge variable support.  Samples are posted for those who register on the user Verbiage Exchange forum.  Similarly, a multi-select but independent sentence listbox has been added for work hardening verbiage.

Response to treatment with merge variable verbiage support has been added in the additional plan window on the Pocket PC.  Verbiage examples are posted  for those who register on the user Verbiage Exchange forum at http://www.softwaremotif.com/forum/

For those who add verbiage descriptions to their orthopedic/neurological exams using the Pocket PC Exam Designer, the exam description precedes the test results, with merge variable support.  Sample are provided for those who register on the Verbiage Exchange forum.

A user now has the ability to save a blank orthopedic/neurological exam record on the Pocket PC.  This previously required at least one test to exist before saving the record, but the modification is necessary for the purpose of clearing sample data or backdating purposes.

The MFCSetup.exe software on the Pocket PC is now automatically removed when MyEMR is launched, as its components are included with the MyEMR.exe executable file.  The MFCSetup.exe file is now obsolete.

Globally shared subjective lead-in phrases are added to the subjective window.  The physician has the option to include the subjective complaint statuses after the lead-in phrases.  This may be used for describing an overall exacerbation, overall improvement of all symptoms, language for maintenance on asymptomatic treatments, or whatever your practice style suggests.

MyEMR for Windows with Tools->Customize->Subjective->MyEMR Pocket PC Lead-in Phrases

See http://www.softwaremotif.com/forum for samples on the user Verbiage Exchange forum.

The last visit is added to the home window when displaying and switching between patients "In Treatment", and takes into consideration non-sequential visit backdating.

Default visit type preference is added to the Pocket PC's Home->Preferences->Document menu.  For example, you may elect to switch from "E/M Level 2" to "Routine Office Visit" or "ROV".

Verbiage transfer from the desktop to the Pocket PC is now performed by using:

     Start->All Programs->Software Motif->MyEMR Pocket PC Verbiage Refresh

Default provider initials or digital signature can now be reset to be blank, if desired for switching treating physicians.

Patient subjective complaints, for a new patient, default to a status of "Routine & Initial ¶", rather than "New Patient¶".

Superfluous date of "0000-00-00" is no longer created during a backdating session.

Muscle grading "snap" behavior modified to work as designed for the Pocket PC 2002 and higher operating systems.

User Preferences added spinal grouping to either include the full spine as a single entity or 5 distinct regions for text generation purposes.  The factory default behavior is for the text engine to generate 5 distinct spinal regions.

MyEMR for the Pocket PC Product Release Notes – July 2004 3Q2004

Auto-Doc data conversion to convert all SOAP notes and narratives is now complete.

The numerical pain scale now has the value of "0" removed, and the dropdown box incrementing bug (a result of that change) is now corrected.

MyEMR for the Pocket PC Product Release Notes – April 2004 2Q2004

The ClearOS.exe (whereas "OS" represents "object store") has been modified to support clearing the object store of the Pocket PC 2003 operating system.

The main MyEMR program has been modified for compatibility with the Pocket PC 2003 operating system.  The noticable change in behavior is when a user presses the "X" in the upper left-hand corner of the Pocket PC, you can choose Start->MyEMR from the menu and MyEMR will appear in the foreground as you left it running.  Prior to this change, Pocket PC 2003 users had to go to the Control Panel, Memory, Running Programs and "Activate" MyEMR.

The numerical pain scale and percentage improved findings have been made more strict for text generation.  Erroneous values that have been synchronized from the desktop are ignored.  Only valid values are generated.  The value of "0" has been removed from the numerical pain scale, in consideration of the the "<blank>" option for that finding.

The "refresh local verbiage" is now sensed and managed automatically.  Upon installation, there is no need for a user to manually choose "refresh local verbaige".  Hereafter, the only case where a user should refresh the local verbiage on the Pocket PC is after making subjective verbiage changes. 

Patients "in treatment":  When patients are checked-in, this is now saved in the object store of the Pocket PC.  If MyEMR for the Pocket PC is closed, the Pocket PC is reset, the patients checked-in will remain as checked-in after restarting MyEMR or restarting the Pocket PC.

Non-factory default installations:  The SetMyEMRDatabase utility that allows users to re-direct ActiveSync to a non-factory default database location has now been changed for Windows XP compatibility.
