MyEMR for Windows 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.

A fax number field is now available for a patient.  The users should inquire as to the privacy of the fax number and should require a signature release on file to fax protected healthcare information.

The SOAP note properties in the prior tab now displays the note submission history.  This history is now being collected as of the October 2004 software release.

For Canadian postal codes, the postal code field now supports 10 digit alpha-numeric characters.

Default provider slots can now be added for provider ID's that have a maximum allowed number of characters.

ThirdPartySync has been modified to optionally trim a large quantity of patients by perusing the transaction table to identify the patient's most recent service visit, as a determination of who are "active" patients.

MyEMR for Windows ignores complaints that were previously associated with body regions but have since been deleted.

ThirdPartySync is now modified to support the newer Eclipse file format while remaining backward compatible with the previous file format.

MyEMR for Windows Product Release Notes – July 2004 3Q2004

Appointment report now includes Add'l Chart field.

E-mail is now a search criteria for SmartSelect.

Support for the patient's middle name of up to 15 characters is added, for the purpose of patients who use their first initial, full middle name and last name.

Users can now customize the field captions for the user defined fields of the Patient Information window.  Choose Tools->Customize->Patient custom fields

The legacy voice note capability is re-implemented into MyEMR for Windows, along with its annotation report.  Note:  This voice note capture is a separate format than MyEMR Pocket PC Rich Ink embedded notes.  However, this was re-implemented for legacy compatibility.

The front desk window displays the patient processed count, on a per-provider basis, as patients are signed-in and checked-out.  Walk-in patients are managed separately because a walk-in patient may not see their regular provider in a multi-provider clinic.  All information is read real-time from the database for accuracy.

File format compatibility with the Chiro 7000/8000 and Medisoft import has been modified to include a default provider ID.

Appointment time slot count remains when moving an appointment.  An appointment may be moved to another provider if using the composite view in a multi-provider clinic.

The patient's cellular phone number is added to the patient general information window.

A problem introduced with the custom patient fields has been corrected to allow for sustained used of "continue adding patients."

The patient's visit frequency, if defined in MyEMR's plan window, is displayed in the appointment window for convenience when booking or multi-booking appointments.  The appointment window is re-designed for 800x600 resolution with the Windows task bar always visible.

For the convenience of MyEMR users, there is no longer a requirement to have remarks or a treatment plan when scheduling, although we still recommend adding at least a remark indicative of the appointment's purpose.

An Auto-Doc data conversion has been completed to import all patients, generated SOAP notes, generated narratives, and indicate visits where SOAP notes were not generated.

The potential patient dialog window was a few pixels too short.  This has been corrected and is displaying as intended.

There is now a patient appointment count total on the header of the appointment schedule.

You can now delete all future appointments for a patient who has withdrawn from care prematurely.  This feature is located on the appointment window, when viewing a patient's appointment history.

Future appointment schedule:  You can print a patient's future appointments from the appointment window.

You can now right-click to edit the date/time of a narrative report.

MyEMR for Windows Product Release Notes – April 2004 2Q2004

There is no longer an error when deleting the doctor and/or transcriptionist initials in the following window:

     Tools->Customize->Notes->Initials

ThirdPartySync:  The default provider ID is now stored as a persistent value (for the Medisoft import), instead of defaulting to *TEMP as the provider ID. 

Menu link:  There is now a menu link for ThirdPartySync on Start->All Programs->Software Motif->ThirdPartySync

The default error message print box is now resized to display more cosmetically appealing.

There is now an optional force page break between notes when printing notes for a single patient.  This selection is stored in the registry so that it becomes the user default selection.  This is intended for notes being submitted to attorneys who require a single note per page, instead of continuously streaming several notes per page.

Database maintenance tools and blank database templates are distributed for any needed database maintenance at the user location without the necessity to send or upload data for normal maintenance procedures.
