18/08/2016 Release Notes - Admin changes
Appointment management changes
We have made a change to set the appointment list icons in their own column so that that the same icon is lined up under the same icon.
Infection status alert is also included as a new icon for sites that use this function. See clinical Release Notes for further detail.
We have done some reordering of this list also.
If a date range of Other selected, the end date will populate with the start date to save users entering both dates if you are searching for a single day.
Appointment status reverting from discharged
If the admission record was edited after patient discharged, there were issues with the appointment status reverting to In treatment or other previous status.
This has been resolved.
Qld Health Inpatient extract
The morbidity file for Qld Health required the punctuation to be stripped from the ICD and morphology codes. This issue has been resolved.
HCP
HCP and PHDB extracts required an update to the header record for data extracted from 1 July. This is included in this release.
Billing updates
Problems with the billing queue have resulted from some sites bypassing the edit checks on an inpatient claim submission without an admission record. There are now extra validations in place to stop this happening.
Problems with some sites leaving default payment method of cash when taking payments from patients. A blank option has been added to payment method to prevent errors from not changing the default.
If submitting a claim or claims from the Debtors Management without an invoice, the system was not generating an invoice as it does automatically from the billing tab at time of claim submission. This is now resolved so the Debtors' Management page also generates an invoice.
Pharmacy Billing wizard was not setting the more common default of Patient Paying in Full = Yes. This has been resolved.
If a user entered a postcode that was alphanumeric and then submitted a claim, this would stop the billing queue and cause the third party billing engine to hang. This has been resolved. Postcodes are checked at time of claim submission and invalid postcodes are not able to be submitted.
There was an issue with BUPA sending processing reports that varied in their delivery of data based on whether excess or co-pay was applied. This has been resolved so BUPA should now automatically pay off the correct amount for an accommodation claim.
There was a similar issue with HCF but the rules for HCF processing data are very convoluted. We have attempted to automatically pay off HCF inpatient accommodation claims based on HCF-specific rules. Please let us know if there are any issues with HCF payment data for updates received from 19 August.
Merge Patient
For the sites that have interfaces where the interface is creating user tasks, the user ID is a negative number and this was causing problems on patient merge. This issue has been resolved.
Doctor Home page
We have done alignment of the icons on the Dr Home page with what is on the appointment list so the waiting time alert for example is now visible on the Doctor page.
ADT interface patch
When an appointment was deferred from treatment date from a file note visit and one appointment was already attended on the day of defer, the visit and data was being moved with the deferred appointment. This has been resolved.
