2021/07/05– Release Notes epi-me (eReferrals enhancements)
NEW FEATURES
eReferrals:
New Wording Configuration: Radiology Required question on Acute Referral Form:
For health services which do not provide radiology services, but would like to know what radiology the Referrer has ordered, we have developed a ‘Radiology Ordered’ wording configuration, as shown below:
Re-Invite New Referrer User from Referrer Portal
Previously, invited Referrer Users were only able to action the invite from a colleague within 24 hours.
Now, a Practice's eReferrals Administrator is able to send out a re-invitation if their colleague does not action the invite within 24 hours, or loses the invite.
This Re-invite function will be displayed until the invited Referrer User account has finished the registration process.
eReferrals new configuration for Registration – Provider Number field hidden
This configuration hides the Provider Number field on the registration page for new eReferral organisation registrations, as well as invited registrants.
Acute Referrals Received Detail report - new MBS Item Number column
To assist health services tracking referral and treatment activity, a MBS Item Number column has been added to the Acute Referrals Received Detail report, which can also be downloaded to .CSV for further analysis / manipulation.
The syntax for the MBS Item Number data display is [ItemNumberCode] x [ItemNumberCount]
eReferrals Worklist (Admin Portal) – New 'Referral Type' filter in addition to Admission Type
This allows health services who receive multiple referral types (eg. Acute, Rehab and Mental Health) to filter the Referral Form worklist to look only at one particular referral type.
It will have no bearing on health services who provide only one referral type - the filter can remain 'All' or set to the specific referral type they receive.
eReferrals Worklist (Admin Portal) – Revised Columns for Referral Records
We have made significant changes to the Referral Worklist (Admin Portal) at the request of one of our early-adopter eReferrals customers, with the aim of improving usability and efficiency in processing eReferrals by expanding the information available 'at-a-glance'.
eReferrals Registration – Added Hospital Lookup for Hospital-type Registrants
To improve data quality and usability for Hospital-type eReferrals Registrants, we have added a typeahead lookup of Australian hospitals to the Name of hospital field.
If the Registrant cannot find their hospital name in the lookup, they can simply type free-text to override the lookup.
eReferrals Registration – Configuration - Allow Referrer User to set Preferences for Referral Type, Admitting Dr & Hospital
To improve usability and efficiency for eReferrals Users, we have developed an optional configuration for Referrers to set their preferences for Default Referral Type, Admitting Dr & Hospital that auto-populate any eReferral form they create. These defaults can be overridden on the individual eReferral, if the Referrer so chooses.
This function is a Configuration, so will be hidden unless the health services chooses to make this available for their Referrers.
eAdmissions:
List of eAdmission Page Changes / Configurations:
GP Details page:
> (Global Update) New Instructional Text for capturing GPs - "Please enter your family or regular GP.. This information is important as we may need to communicate information about your treatment outcome to them, for example via a discharge summary with post-admission instructions. Results can take a few seconds to load."
Insurance Details page:
> (Configuration) INSURANCE_INCLUDE_CLAIM_APPROVED - includes optional Claim Approved Yes / No question for Worker's Comp and Third-Party insured patients
Allergies & Medications page:
> (Global Update) Revised Medication Question - "Are you taking any other medications, prescription medications or non-prescription medications or complimentary medicines including vitamins / mineral / herbal remedies?"
- Question re-labelled to improve capture of substances of interest to health service clinical staff
BUG FIXES
eReferrals:
Acute Referral Form – Planned length of stay question now MANDATORY
Acute Referral Form - missing mandatory validator on Procedure/Treatment field
Previously, a Referrer could leave this field blank. A validator has been added to enforce this Procedure/Treatment field as mandatory.
eReferrals Practice Administrations can now update their Users' email address
Previously, updating an email address linked to a user account via the ‘Manage Additional Users’ page was preventing the updated user from accessing eReferrals
.
eAdmissions:
eAdmissions - missing mandatory flag (asterix) added to Other Card Type Number / Expiry + DVA Fields on Insurance Details
eAdmissions - missing mandatory validator on Cardiac Conditions and Blood Clots subquestions
Previously, if a Patient said Yes to Cardiac Conditions or Blood Clots on their Health History (Pages 1 & 2, respectively), although the 'Please Specify' subquestion had an asterix, there was no mandatory validation on it, meaning the Patient could leave it blank.
