Release Notes
New Features include:
1. Enable eAdmission processing when only Admission Form half is submitted - we have re-introduced the ability for staff to process eAdmissions which have their Admission Form / Registration Details component submitted, but not their Health History / Health Assessment (only one of the Status 'traffic-lights’ appear submitted).
2. Unsubmit Admission Functionality - We have successfully reintrouduced the Unsubmit Admission functionality. Hospital staff are now able to un-submit an admission, which will also un-process the admission so that when the admission is re-submitted, the staff are also able to re-process the admission (sending an admission update message across interface to PAS).
3. Registration Form pdf Printout: sub-header changes - epi-me’s Registration & Health History form pdf printouts have been updated so that all sub-headers on the form now appear in all-capital letters, as well as bold. This change was implemented to assist the bookings team in differentiating each different section on the forms.
