2023/08/16 Episoft Release Notes - clinical
Menu Item organisation
At the request of many of our users, we have moved the Main Menu and Patient Menu items around to put the most commonly used
items at the top of the list for ease of access. This will cause some frustration while users are getting accustomed to the new order of items
but I’m sure you’ll find it helpful very soon. In addition to the rearrangement, we’ve simplified some of the menu names to be more user-friendly.
Please see below for the changes we’ve made:
Main Menu:
Patient Menu:
Diagnostic tests module - major enhancements
Diagnostic test requests has new e-signature feature 1. Diagnostic test requests can now be e-signed by the requesting doctor in Episoft.
2. We have also added a search function to Dx tests so that you can easily find a past test to copy and print again with today’s date.
3. Tests can now be archived and viewed later if needed so old test requests don’t clutter your list

If you are not the original doctor who requested the test, when you click Print, you’ll get a popup asking if you want to change the doctor on the pdf or to make you the requesting doctor.

At the request of one of our customers, Neurological Observations have been added to the Observations grid on Nursing Assessment and on the Obs popup from Appointments. To view the Neuro Obs grid, you’ll need to tick ‘Show Neuro observations’ to expand it.
