April 2023 Release Notes

12.4.0.1-3 - April 28, 2023

Kipu Messenger: End of Life

The legacy Kipu Messenger is being replaced with the all-new Patient Portal on April 28, 2023. The Patient Portal is an easy-to-use and mobile-responsive patient engagement solution that Kipu is providing at no additional cost.

Effective April 28th, you will no longer be able to:

• Invite patients and their contacts to Kipu Messenger
• Invite staff users to Kipu Messengers
• Create new Kipu Messenger templates

We are allowing our clients a grace period to phase out Kipu Messenger for existing patients. You will be able to send and receive the forms via Kipu Messenger for patients who were enrolled in Kipu Messenger prior to April 28th.

We highly encourage clients to switch to the new Patient Portal. To get started with Portal, check out the portal articles, sign up for a training webinar, or take this course.

New

• Evaluations: We have hidden the Send Kipu Messenger Form button in the patient’s tab whenever there are no Kipu Messenger forms to send.

Fixed

• Kipu Messenger: Fixed an issue where clients with active Kipu Messenger konnectors got an error in some patient charts where the form’s tab contained both consent forms and Kipu Messenger evaluations or treatment plans.
• Pre-Admission Status: Updated behavior so that the Pre-admission status does not carry over to the next episode of care on re-admit.

12.4.0 - April 18, 2023

New

• API: Updated Patient POST to all API users to push an attachment into a pre-admission evaluation.
• API: API v3 users can now GET evaluation templates.

• API: Updates have been made to the Census Endpoint so that it utilize locations and company time zones for UTC conversions.

• CHESS App: CHESS app users can now Integrate their Kipu EMR with their CHESS Health app. Simply get your CHESS Health Token from CHESS Health and follow the Setup Wizard. Users will need to create a “CHESS App” tag and place it on any patient record when they are ready to send them the CHESS app invite.
• Notifications: We have updated the notification for UR Level of Care Changed to include the previous level of care from the UR history. This change will help to ensure the system sends the correct information about the level of care change when users log the levels of care through authorization on the facesheet.
  
• Portal Documents: We have added the Revoked status in the portal documents area for consents that have been revoked by one of the signers. For Revoked consents, the Updated column will list the revocation date. For more information, check out this article.
• Templates: We have improved the aesthetic design of consent form templates to increase intuitiveness and efficiency. They now look and behave more like evaluation templates. for more information on documents in the patient portal, check out this article.
