mumms Care Plans and Charting Release Notes

mumms CPC v1.9 –Release Notes

Notes With this version of CPC, we are raising the mandatory version to build 31869. If you are using a very old version of CPC, you will see a notice that an upgrade is required before you can continue to use CPC.

Features

  1. CPC Client – Agencies now have the ability to configure a reply-­‐to address for emails that are sent from within CPC. Please contact cpc-­‐ support@mumms.com to configure.
  2. CPC Mobile -­‐ Made changes so the option “Hospice will cover” will no longer appear on medication questionnaires for Palliative Care locations.

Bug Fixes

  1. CPC Client -­‐ Fixed a bug that caused the medication listing to display incorrectly when editing certain orders.
  2. CPC Client -­‐ Modified the client to address the SSL3 “POODLE” vulnerability
  3. CPC Client -­‐ Fixed a bug that caused an extra page break to appear when printing orders from the edit questionnaire page.
  4. CPC Client -­‐ Fixed a bug that caused emails to sometimes fail to send when a user was preparing the email offline.
  5. CPC Server -­‐ If a visit is synched during a brief server outage or period of unusually heavy load, the patient.xml file on the server can become corrupted. We have made the application more robust in repairing the file after this happens to minimize any impact to the user, and we will continue to monitor and gather information.
  6. CPC Server -­‐ Fixed a bug that caused empty order listings in the chart-­‐by-­‐ discipline page.
  7. CPC Server -­‐ Addressed a problem that would occasionally cause visit schedules to be recorded incorrectly in the database, causing errors on the Visit Variance report.
  8. Reports -­‐ Fixed problems causing the Emergency Preparedness Report to be slow and show incorrect results.
  9. CPC Mobile -­‐ Clarified authorization of physicians only to edit orders, and tightened access to visit types.
  10. CNA App -­‐ Fixed a bug that caused CNA visits to have incorrect started and synched timestamps.

Known Bugs

  1. CPC Client -­‐ Sometimes when saving a note (right-­‐pane) that has been added to a patient’s chart, a “syntax error” message will display, and use of the application is hindered. Measures have been taken to mitigate the problem and we will continue to research the issue. 
  2. CPC Server -­‐ Rarely, visits that have been synched will not transfer to PAS in a timely fashion. A number of problems have caused this to happen. Several of these problems have been identified and fixed, but it may still occur from time to time. Logging output is being boosted to gather more information.
Care Plans and Charting, version 1.8.8 – Release Notes
This document describes the changes in the software since Care Plans and Charting, version 1.8.8
 

 

Changes from 1.8.7.8 to 1.8.8
notes
     
features
  1. CPC Client – When creating or editing certain orders, and medications have been added which will not be covered by the hospice, a question has been added to allow a physician to explain why the medications are not covered.
  2. CPC Client – Medications will now display when creating or editing an order which has been configured to display them.
  3. CPC Server – CPC.pm has been modified so that getFirms() and getLocations() methods will accept an optional space-delineated list of firm or location objects to return.
  4. CPC Mobile – The CPC Mobile app will also now accommodate listing of medications when editing orders configured to display them, and will display the new question for entering an explanation for medications not covered by the hospice.
  5. CPC Mobile – The CPC Mobile app will now automatically logout after the user has been inactive for a configurable length of time; the default is 5 minutes.
  6. Reports – Changes have been made to the database and queries have been streamlined for some reports, so that reports will run more quickly. This is an ongoing process.
bug-fixes
  1. CPC Client – Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause questionnaires with no responses to be removed from patient’s charts if the patient was super-archived, even in cases where the visit was retained. This bug was also causing these questionnaires to be left out of pru.pl listings.
  2. CPC Client – Previously, the “inline” medication listing format operated differently from the “table” medication listing format, in that when viewing an order from a previous visit, the inline listing format showed the status of medications at the time of the visit, whereas the table format showed the status of medication at the current time – even if one or more of the medications had been changed since the time of the previous visit. This has been changed so that the table format behaves the same way as the inline format – showing medications as of the date of the visit, rather than as of the present time.
known-bugs
    Changes from 1.8.7.7.1 to 1.8.7.8
    notes
       
    features
    1. CPC Client – The discontinue (DC) button has been removed from all questionnaires but Care Plan Problems.
    2. CPC Client – The way details and historical changes are displayed when previewing questionnaires has been changed. When viewing the details of a Care Plan Problem, you can still see the history of deselections and discontinuations. Line-throughs have been removed; deselections and discontinuations will all be highlighted in yellow. When viewing the details of an Order or Form, only details of current values selected will be displayed.
    3. CPC Client – For Palliative Care locations, the option “Hospice will cover” will no longer appear on medication questionnaires.
    4. CPC Server – Database connections for authentication are all routed to the Colorado server. On the Colorado server only, one database connection is used for both data and authentication needs.
    5. CPC Server – Patients are now automatically super-archived if they contain more than 200 visits or the file size is greater than 3 MB. This behavior can be turned off on request.
    6. CPC Mobile – After resolving an order on the unresolved orders page, the user is now redirected back to the unresolved orders page.
    7. CPC Mobile – Physicians using CPC Mobile will now see unresolved orders filtered by their last name, by default.
    8. CNA App – The CNA App now has a ‘Report a Problem’ page for submitting support requests to Mumms Support.
    9. Reports – The Late Charting Report has been changed: the arrival time listed on the chart is given now as Arrival Date/Time, and the actual time the visit was entered into CPC is given now as Actual Date/Time. These times are converted to each firm’s local timezone.
    bug-fixes
    1. CPC Client – The number of patient.xml backups has been reduced to prevent CPC from using excessive hard drive space.
    2. CPC Client – A bug which caused stale sticky values to be applied from previous forms has been fixed. Previously, when creating a new questionnaire or editing an existing questionnaire, if the last change to a response had been to discontinue or deselect it, this sticky value was incorrectly being applied on the new form. Sometimes, when the values of sticky text fields had been changed several times, an out-of-date text value was being applied on the new form. These problems have been fixed.
    3. CPC Client – When printing an Order that has been configured to show the entire Plan of Care details, and a user hides one or more Plan of Care sections, page breaks will no longer appear after hidden sections.
    4. CPC Server – The process that sends data to the database has been improved to both sychronize database maintenance and expedite visits to be processed.
    5. CPC Server – When attempting to run an audit when another audit is already running, the second audit will not run and the user will see a message that another audit is already running.
    6. CPC Server – Archiving, unarchiving, super-archiving, and super-unarchiving no longer calls external perl scripts (.pl files). Instead this is all done within Patient.pm

                          7. Added page breaks after questionnaires in all of the “entire-chart” views.
                          8. Introduced the CPC Mobile application, which allows Aides to use a mobile phone or tablet to fill out visit records. The general workflow is that changes to the Aide Assignment Care Plan, creates a custom Aide Visit Record form. Aides login to a URL, see a list of their patients, and are able to fill out a visit record for them. In addition to merging this visit into the chart, the application also records the date/time and GPS location of the aide. Various reports for payroll and mileage are available. A mapping application, displaying where CNAs are, will be available soon. Please contact info@mumms.com if you are interested in purchasing.
                          9. Major changes were implemented to the archiving/unarchiving process to boost performance. Patients will be re-archived during the week following the release.

                          2. Fixed bug whereby removing all text from a textarea or textbox did not remove non-text whitespace characters and hence did not unselect the response.
                          3. The allergies bug is fixed. Users can now edit allergies.
                          4. Attachments now stay with the patient after readmits.

                            3. The question, “Is Hospice to Provide” can now be required when adding a med. Please contact cpc-support@mumms.com to enable this.
                            4. Changed the default footer, when printing a page, to NOT display the diagnosis and a signature line. Please contact cpc-support@mumms.com to change this behavior.
                            5. There are now 6 ways to view an entire chart, both in CPC and by requesting that we create the entire chart on the server. Click on “View Entire Chart” to see them.

The multiple progress bars have been replaced with a single progress bar on the synchronize, open-all, close-all, and undo-all pages so that the user can easily see the overall progress. Additionally, the interface no longer requires the user to click a confirm button when the process is complete. It also displays the total amount of time that the operation took.

                                        known-bugs
                                        1.

                                        notes
                                          The values for the various number of days worth of patient data to delete have been changed to 90 from 120. As previously stated, we will continue to step this down at a rate that doesn’t cause excessive delays when logging in for the first time after upgrading.
                                           
                                        features
                                        1. Removed the patient’s name from emails.
                                        2. The right pane selector now displays the label for labeled questionnaires. It also displays whether or not the questionnaire has been resolved
                                        3. All questionnaires can now be added or edited using sticky questions
                                        4. Resolve buttons have been added to questionnaire headers
                                        5. The dates of questionnaires in the right pane now reflect the visit date that the questionnaire was created on, instead of the actual date the questionnaire was created on
                                        6. Phone numbers on the face sheet do not get scrunched up when there is a long email address associated with that patient or a care-giver.
                                        7. When the right pane has a patient list, and the user clicks on a patient, the right pane scrolls back down to that patient on the following page.
                                        8. The “Meds” link in the top navigation is now configurable. It can either take you to the entire med sheet or just the active med sheet. Contact tech support to change to the active med sheet.
                                        9. The .exe installer is now Vista compatible.
                                        10. The hospice’s name is now used on the login page. This is configurable. You can have it display as Firm – Location also.
                                        11. When viewing the details on a problem, form or order, you can now choose to display the date/time in any of these formats. The default format is Visit Date. Contact tech support to change this. (Note that if you use Actual date and/or time, older responses, prior to version 1.7.5, will still use the Visit Date format.)

                                          Visit Date. This uses the date of the visit and displays: [Added by John Doe – visit: 11/07/2007 (#32)]
                                          Visit Date/Time. This uses the date and time of the visit and displays: [Added by John Doe – visit: 11/07/2007 9:53 AM (#32)]
                                          Actual Date. This uses the actual date the response was entered and displays: [Added by John Doe – actual: 11/07/2007 (#32)]
                                          Actual DateTime. This uses the actual date the response was entered and displays: [Added by John Doe – actual: 11/07/2007 9:53 AM (#32)]

                                        12. RxList has been added to the References section of the right pane.
                                        13. If you are editing a care plan and select or unselect a medication, the medication no longer appears to have been dc’ed and started again. Note that this behavior differs from editing a medication and the only change you make is to tie it to a care plan. In this case, the med will appear edited.
                                        14. Quantity, number of refills, Physician and Order Taken From have been added to the med-sheet and also to the long listing for orders.
                                        15. The print footer is now more customizable.

                                          The right side of the footer can contain nothing, the page number, or Page Number “of” Page Total. Page Number “of” Page Total is the default.
                                          The center of the footer on a patient page can contain any of the following: patient full name, patient PAS ID, patient diagnoses, and a signature line. The default is to print all of them.

                                        16. Labeled questionnaires can now have a value in the “Labeled” column, which will be used as the question description on the questionnaire edit template. If there is a value in this column, it will be used as the question description. If there is no value and it is a pain or wound form, the description will be “Location of “Pain” or “Location of Wound.” If neither of the above is true, the description will be “Label.”
                                        17. Visit information is now being collected by CPC and will flow from CPC to PAS eliminating the need to enter it into PAS.
                                        18. Visit dates have now been added to the items in the right pane selector so that you can more easily find the information you are looking for.
                                        19. The layout of the med sheet can now be customized to hide or display certain columns and also to display extra columns that can be used as a pseudo MAR.
                                        20. Credentials will now come from the PAS database. Please add credentials for each of your CPC users. Note, however, that if a CPC user does not have credentials in PAS, their current credentials in CPC will remain.
                                        21. Reports. We are now collecting information for the Reporting modules. Instructions for using this module will follow.
                                        22. Sticky Questions. It is now possible to make questions “sticky” meaning that they will aumatically pre-populate with the last answer. This works in several ways. For example, on the Plan of Care / Treatment Plan – Recertification order, if you make the question, “Is patient uncomfortable because of pain,” sticky, and select an answer, the next time someone creates one of those orders, that answer will be pre-selected and will be in purple. Sticky questions also exist in between forms. For example, if the same question was on the Plan of Care / Treatment Plan – Initial, and you answered it, it will be pre-populated with that answer the next time someone creates a POC / Treatment Plan – Recertfication order. Whenever a user creates a problem, form or order that has pre-populated answers, they wil be asked to review any questions that were pre-populated and not changed. They will not be allowed to close the visit until they have accepted all pre-populated, unchanged questions. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE STICKY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED CORRECTLY. In order to see this feature, you will have to install the demo2 location from the staging server. Instructions are below. We have setup the demo2 location with sticky questions on the following forms, orders, and questionnaires:

                                          Initial Nursing Assessment
                                          Plan of Care / Treatment Plan – Initial
                                          Psychosocial Visit Record – Initial Assessment
                                          Initial Nursing Assessment – Inpatient
                                          Nursing Visit Record – Inpatient
                                          Nursing Visit Record LPN
                                          Criteria Evaluation for Certification
                                          Nursing Visit Record
                                          Plan of Care Progress Summary
                                          Psychosocial Visit Record
                                          Plan of Care / Treatment Plan – Recertification

                                        23. The Report a Problem screens have been changed. There are 3 new required questions: What did you click on? What was the expected result? What was the actual result? In addition, reporting a problem now sends us a screenshot of the previous page.
                                        24. Entire chart views now have links to jump the user to different parts of the chart. These links show up on screen but do not print.
                                        25. You can no longer open visits in the future for a patient. You can, however, use the Open All page to open visits in the future.
                                        26. The following new fields have been added to the visit open/edit/close pages: Travel time (in hours or minutes) and Travel mileage.
                                        27. The pain point has been changed from yellow to black for improved legibility when printing.
                                        28. When viewing a care plan problem, all notes on that problem are now stamped with the visit arrival date and time as well as the visitor.
                                        29. There is a new kind of question which can be used when printing the “Viewing Page” of a problem, order, or form. This type of question along with it’s responses will display on the viewing page. For example, on an Admitting Order, you can ask the question, “Would you like to continue as the patient’s physician” with the answers “Yes” and “No” and if the question is unanswered, it will print out on the viewing page. You can then print/fax this page to the physician who can answer the question(s) and fax back.
                                        30. Running patchFile() is now configurable.
                                        31. Changed the Discontinue Medication page. The previous version contained a singe textbox for the user to type the reason for discontinuing. The new version contains checkboxes for specific reasons, and a checkbox for “other” reasons (when clicked, the textbox is enabled for user to type input). The page that lists details for a medication is also updated to reflect these changes.
                                        32. The medicaton sheet page for editing/entering medication information has two new fields “Number of Refills” and “Order Taken From”. The page listing medication details is modified accordingly
                                        33. The title in the right pane selector has been changed from “Progress Notes” to “Care Plan Notes.”
                                        34. Users now have the ability to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper (Print N-up). In addition to the normal “Print” button, users on Windows XP, will see a “Print N-up” button which will allows the user to choose the number of pages to print on each sheet of paper (2 pages per sheet, 4 pages per sheet, etc.) Users must have Acrobat Reader or some other PDF viewer installed you your machine. You can download Acrobat Reader for free at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
                                        35. The Mumms CP/C software is now Macintosh compatible (OS 9 and up).
                                        bug-fixes
                                        1. While editing a Care Plan problem, if the user would hit ‘print’ in the left pane, and then select the “Print Viewing Page”, the Print Editing Page would be printed instead. This has been fixed
                                        2. When viewing Care Plan Problems, if after clicking on the “view” button, the user click’s on the “hide” button, an XSLTProc error would occur. This has been fixed
                                        3. The location.xml file would sometimes return an undefined HTTP response status, causing CPC to break. CPC now catches this event and raises and exception, allowing the user to keep working without breaking CPC
                                        4. Fixed a bug on the Open Visit page. If putting in a military time value into the ‘arrival-time’ field, CPC could have incorrectly reformatted the value into hh:m instead of hh:mm. So that 1300 would become 13:0 instead of 13:00, and the user would not be able to open the visit. This is fixed.
                                        5. On the Open Visit page, fixed a bug where Canceling after clicking on the “Open” button would not allow the user to hit the “Open” button again
                                        6. Fixed a bug whereby the questionnaires/signatures/display configuration was always displaying “Signature on File.” Note that if orders were created and still say “signature on file” and you have a visit open, click on the order, click on edit, and then click on preview.
                                        7. Fixed a bug whereby the “Edit” button was not showing in the list of forms.
                                        8. Edit and Resolve buttons were not displaying in the left nav on the questionnaire view page.
                                        9. Pain points were a bit higher on the view page than on the edit page.
                                        10. Mumms employees no longer show up in the email list on the Email this Page, pages.
                                        11. Fixed bug whereby physician comboboxes were not showing up on Med Pack Edit page.
                                        12. Fixed bug whereby discharged patients were being deleted even though the user had just downloaded them. Ie, the user downloads a patient who has been discharged for a long time. The user logs in again, offline. The patient is deleted and the user cannot look at the chart.
                                        13. Fixed bug whereby clicking on a note might not show the correct side nav.
                                        14. Fixed bug whereby the Synchronize Choose page could fail in the loading of manifest.xml and hence no patients would be listed in the upload table.
                                        15. Fixed bug whereby the Synchronize page was sending packaged-patient.xml instead of upload.xml.
                                        known-bugs
                                        1. If you edit a visit’s arrival date or time on the visit close page and then go to the start page without actually closing the visit, the start page will not report the correct date and time for the visit’s arrival. The actual data in the chart, however, is correct.
                                        Changes from 1.7.4 to 1.7.4.1
                                        notes
                                          The values for the various number of days worth of patient data to delete have been changed to 180 from 270. As previously stated, we will continue to step this down at a rate that doesn’t cause excessive delays when logging in for the first time after upgrading.

                                        1. If you DC a med by mistake, you can undo the DC.
                                        bug-fixes
                                        1. Fixed bug whereby sometimes the right pane would be blank on an open visit.
                                        2. Fixed bug whereby clicking on the Open Visit icon in the patient list would send you to the patient’s overview page if the patient has an unsynched visit. Now, the user is sent to the Open Visit page.
                                        3. Fixed bug whereby a user could enter an invalid date on the visit open, edit and close pages.
                                        4. Fixed bug whereby DC’ing a med did not record the reason properly.
                                        5. Fixed bug whereby a sequence of events could cause the “Edit Details” to fail when trying to edit a med.
                                        6. Fixed bug whereby re-admitting a patient caused the wrong dates, status, and discharge-reason to appear in the “-A” chart.

                                        1. If you edit a visit’s arrival date or time on the visit close page and then go to the start page without actually closing the visit, the start page will not report the correct date and time for the visit’s arrival. The actual data in the chart, however, is correct.
                                        Changes from 1.7.3.2 to 1.7.4
                                        notes
                                          The values for the various number of days worth of patient data to delete have been changed to 270 from 365. As previously stated, we will continue to step this down at a rate that doesn’t cause excessive delays when logging in for the first time after upgrading.
                                           
                                        features
                                        1. Patient re-admits are now handled automatically. When a user is re-admitted or re-referred in PAS, a previous admit chart (e.g., 1234-A1) will automatically be created and the current chart will be cleaned out. Note that a re-refer followed by a re-admit triggers a single new chart, not two. Sites should readmit the patient in PAS and wait until the patient’s chart is clean in CPC before charting on the patient in CPC.
                                        2. There are now links between patient admissions. For example, if 1234, 1234-A1 and 1234-A2 exist, you will see “Other Admits” links between them in the header.
                                        3. Previous admissions are grayed out, but clickable, on patient lists.
                                        4. The header on a previous admission is grayed out as a visual indicator that you are working on an old chart.
                                        5. If you try to open a visit for a previous admit, a javascript confirm box opens asking if you want to chart on the previous admit or the current admit.
                                        6. The display of open and unsynched visits from other workers on the start page is now configurable. The default is to display it. Please contact tech support if you would like this turned off. We strongly recommend that this be left on and that open or unsynched visits are taken care of by the user who made them. Tech support will be providing instructions for how to deal with open or unsynched visits done by ex-employees soon.
                                        7. Supermanifest.xml and manifest-decorated.xml are now sent to the server when reporting a generic problem.
                                        8. The display of DC’ed meds on the Overview page is now configurable. The default is to display DC’ed meds on the overview page. Please contact tech support to change this to display only active meds.
                                        9. You can now link a med to a care plan when creating or editing the care plan.
                                        10. The med-sheet can now display only active meds.
                                        11. The side navigation on most meds pages has been improved. Tasks that are specific to the item are listed as “Script tasks.” Tasks that are general to all meds are listed as “Med tasks.” In addition, on the Med Sheet, there is a new side nav heading called “Selected Med Tasks” which is used to perform the same task on multiple meds.
                                        12. You can now discontinue meds that you added in the current visit.
                                        13. The right-pane selector now has a references sub-menu with links to Epocrate’s online and Taber’s online.
                                        14. Multiple medications can be modified at the same time.
                                        15. Multiple medications can be DC’ed at the same time.
                                        16. Multiple medications can be administered at the same time.
                                        17. On the medication edit and med-pack edit pages, you can now add a physician not on the list.
                                        18. The Admin Console now indicates if the user does not have an email address in CPC.
                                        bug-fixes
                                        1. Fixed bug whereby clicking on nothing in the left nav and then clicking on resolve did not work.
                                        2. Fixed bug whereby editing a visit’s date or time did not change it on the start page.
                                        3. Fixed bug whereby superManifest.xml was not being created and hence the list of open and unsynched visits on the start page was not correct.
                                        4. Fixed bug whereby changing the time on the open-all page did not work.
                                        5. Fixed bug whereby clicking the “All” selector would toggle patients to be uploaded.
                                        6. Fixed bug whereby patients to be uploaded were not pre-checked on the synchronize page.
                                        7. Removed the arrival date, arrival time and visit type from the close all page. It was confusing to have them, given that the values for each visit could be different.
                                        8. Fixed bug whereby changing the depart date or time on the close all page was not working.
                                        9. Fixed bug whereby the @opened attribute was different in patient.xml and manifest.xml.
                                        10. Fixed bug whereby a medication could be administered after it had been DC’ed.
                                        known-bugs
                                        1. If you edit a visit’s arrival date or time on the visit close page and then go to the start page without actually closing the visit, the start page will not report the correct date and time for the visit’s arrival. The actual data in the chart, however, is correct.
                                        Changes from 1.7.2.1 to 1.7.3.2
                                        notes
                                          Version 1.7.3 of the software has been tested with Firefox 2.0, which has many new features including a built-in spell-checker.
                                          To upgrade to Firefox 2.0 (RECOMMENDED):
                                          Install version 1.7.3 by going to your install url. This will automatically upgrade your version of firefox to 2.0.
                                          Depending on your Windows security policies, users will need to have administrator privileges to upgrade from the install url.
                                          To keep using firefox 1.5.x:
                                          Install version 1.7.3 by clicking on ‘update software’ in the cpc navigation.
                                        features
                                        1. Software version number and build number now appear on the login page.
                                        2. Old patient data are deleted upon login. The length of time for keeping data is configurable. Please contact tech support if you would like to change the defaults. The defaults are: Patient data that has not been modified within 28 days is deleted. Discharged patients older than 28 days are deleted for non-Bereavement Coordinators. Discharged patients older than 28 days are deleted for Bereavement Coordinators. Please note that the first time users login to v1.7.3, there is likely to be a much longer wait time than usual as the application cleans up old data.
                                        3. A list of patients on the computer is sent to the server each time the user logs in.
                                        4. Each computer now has a unique identifier associated with it.
                                        5. Added two new visit tables to the start page: 1) other workers with open visits and 2) other workers with unsynched visits. The logged in user cannot click on these visits.
                                        6. Added physician to the table containing the user’s open visits on the start page.
                                        7. Added generic (non patient-specific) problem reporting. Report a problem links now appear on non-patient specific pages.
                                        8. Added discharge reason to patient listing pages.
                                        9. Added print button to patient listing pages.
                                        10. Face Sheets are now displayed in a better format.
                                        11. Patient header now displays whether or not the patient’s chart has been archived.
                                        12. Patient header can now display the social security number of the patient. The default is to display the ssn. If you want this turned off, please contact tech support.
                                        13. The orders page can be sorted by last-edited-on or created-on dates. The default is to sort by last-edited-on. Contact tech support if you’d like this changed to created-on.
                                        14. The notes page can now be configured to display only entries that actually have notes. In other words, if no notes were taken on the visit, there is no entry on the Notes page for that visit. (This makes the page shorter.) The default is to display all visits with the message “No notes were taken on this visit,” if there weren’t any notes taken. If you would like to remove entries that don’t have notes, please contact tech support.
                                        15. The open-all, close-all, and synchronize pages now have checkboxes to automatically select any of the following lists of patients: assigned patients, recent referrals, recent admits, all patients, and patients belonging to a team. Please contact tech support to learn how to assign patients to teams.
                                        16. The pre-selects for the open-all page are now configurable. Firms can choose to pre-select any of the following: assigned patients, patients referred within the last 7 days, and patients admitted within the last 7 days. Default is to display only the assigned patients.
                                        17. It is no longer necessary to put a colon in the time field on visit-open, visit-edit, and visit-close pages. The program will insert the colon for you.
                                        18. Forms now have a built-in spell checker.
                                        19. The cache directory is now sent when reporting a problem.
                                        20. The Open All page now lists the patient’s physician.
                                        21. Added a “Work Offline” button to the top navigation.
                                        22. Added some new drugs to the drug list.
                                        23. The display of the signature line on non-patient pages (e.g., the Start page) is now configurable. The default is to print a signature line on non-patient pages. Please contact tech support if you do not want a signature line printed.
                                        24. The PAS to CPC data transfer has been improved.
                                        25. Face sheets are checked for changes on the server as often as charts.
                                        26. Archiving has been changed so that each questionnaire can be kept for a different number of days instead of the default 30 days for forms and 90 days for orders. For example, CNA Visit records can be kept for 7 days, while Initial Nursing Assessments can be kept forever. Contact tech support for changes.
                                        27. Release notes are now in HTML.
                                        bug-fixes
                                        1. Face sheet printing problem (directions printing very small) has been fixed.
                                        2. Updating software now downloads data that is much more up-to-date.

                                        5. Fixed bug whereby a user could close a visit even if there were unanswered required questions by clicking on “Close Visit”, filling out the form, and pressing the “Enter” key on the keyboard.
                                        6. Fixed bug whereby the right pane displayed the word “Other” for Other medications, instead of the med’s name.
                                        7. Fixed bug where the user does not see their visit immediately after closing it.
                                        8. Fixed bug where the edit button did not appear on un-editable forms during the visit where the form was created.
