2020/09/09 - Release Notes epi-me (eAdmissions release)
Bug Fix - Unable to Correct Patient-User Mistakes with Registering their Mobile Number (EM-1251)
Multiple epi-me customers reported that epi-me was preventing them from correcting a patient-user's misentered mobile number on their account, with epi-me flagging that the email address was already in use (when it wasn't).
This has been fixed.
Clinical Trial / Pharmaceutical Company Program name now captured on Insurance Details page, for applicable claim types (EM-1236)
For the Clinical Trial and Pharmaceutical Company Program insurance claim types which some epi-me customers are utilising, these claim types now include an optional field where the patient-user can enter the name of the Trial or Program.
Enhancements to the Financial Estimate presented to patients (EM-1230, EM-1256, EM-1265, EM-1309, EM-1255)
Our pilot epi-me customer for the Informed Financial Consent workflow suggested a number of enhancements to make the estimate preparation and acknowledgement process more convenient and effective for the health provider as well as for the patient.
These enhancements include:
> Adding an Episode Number field to link the estimate with the Episode ID in the PAS
> Adding 'itemisation' to the Theatre Fee section so that costs related to theatre use can be presented as individual MBS item numbers to patients
> Adding a description-field for health providers to annotate the Case Payment field
> Adding step-by-step instructions for patients who are being asked to acknowledge a Fee Statement & esSign their estimate - to make it easier for them to use
Financial Estimate Auto-close Functionality (EM-1234)
To assist preadmission staff determining which patients still require a financial estimate (or those who haven't acknowledged their estimate yet), an automatic 'auto-close' / archive functionality has been activated in our pilot customer's epi-me.
If the admission date has passed but the financial estimate remains unacknowledged by the patient, this function will automatically push that admission from a status of Ready for Estimate / Pending estimate submission (as applicable) to a new Admission Worklist status called 'Financial tasks auto-closed'.
This means that the Ready for Estimate and Pending estimate submission worklists will only present relevant admissions to preadmission staff.
