• Orders: Changes have been made to standardize medication names in the system to improve patient safety and data integrity. The system no longer supports the creation of a unique list of customized medications in Settings > Medications. Now the Medications tab displays the following message: “The Medication List is now managed by a standardized database of drug reference content.” 
• Outcomes: We have added Depression Anxiety Stress Scales to Adolescents and Children (DASS-Y) to our Outcomes library. For more information on available outcomes assessments, click here.
• Patients: Enhancements have been made to the allergy portion of the patient profile so that if Drug is chosen from the Allergen Type drop-down, users must select an option from the existing list. This change improves patient safety and data integrity.

• Reports: We added a Rounds category to Reports with template options for rounds, intervals, and observations intended to provide information about started rounds at different levels of detail. For a reports overview click here. For specific instructions about running a rounds report, click here.

  • Rounds: This template will give you information about the status of the round, how many intervals are incomplete vs. complete, and whether the round has been review signed. The report runs in real time so it will show the interval counts at the time the report was initiated.

  • Intervals: This template will provide details about each patient’s interval statuses. It will also tell you which staff member documented the interval and when. Lastly, it will indicate if the interval’s documentation occurred within the interval time or after the fact.

  • Observations: This template will give you specific observation information about each patient including basic status and location as well as any added options on the round template for vital signs, orthostatic vitals, glucose readings, or weight.

Fixed

• Action Orders: Fixed an issue where the checkbox options to select days of the week for a weekly frequency were not displaying for Action Orders.
• Billing: Fixed an issue that caused the red dot error for No Authorizations to remain stuck when removing an item from the Do Not Bill list while there was an active, valid authorization present on the patient.
• Billing: Fixed an issue where codes configured as Included Codes for a MAT Medicare Payor Rule did not bundle as expected. They will now bundle if they match the bundle’s DOS.
• Billing: Fixed an issue that prevented billable items from appearing on the billing report for dates after the patient’s discharge. They will now appear as expected and show a yellow warning indicating that the service has taken place post-discharge.
• Consents: Fixed an issue where a 500 error would occur if consent creation validation failed (instead of highlighting missing information). This issue only occurred when the Available for Portal option was enabled for the new consent.
• Doctors Orders: Fixed a bug where the name of the ordering physician, if added manually on a new Doctor’s Order, did not display on the Pending Orders screen of the Dashboard.
• Facesheet: Fixed an issue where, when a user changed the level of care for a client from an evaluation form and then deleted the form, the entry was not removed from the level of care history.
• Group Session Notes: Fixed an issue where users could not access the hyperlink to the client chart from the group session leader notes for any clients without a photo uploaded.
• Login: Fixed an issue where users were getting a 500 error upon requesting a 2-factor authentication code whenever their phone number was invalid. Depending on the user’s 2FA notification preference, the user will now either get an email with the code or a friendly error message directing them to update their mobile phone number or 2FA delivery preference.
• Manage Users: Fixed an issue where Super Admins in a single instance who did not have any locations assigned were not able to see other users in the list marked for locations.
• Outcomes: Fixed an issue where the Issues Report did not show the score for the domain when the final number was 0.

12.5.0.6 - May 23, 2023

• Scheduler: Users with the Manage Scheduler Settings permission can now see the Scheduler Settings tab accessed by clicking on their initials and then Settings.

12.5.0.2-3 - May 12, 2023

Fixed

12.5.0.0 - May 10, 2023

New

• BI: A table containing outcomes assessment questions and answers has been added to the Clinical Outcomes BI dashboard in the Outcome Measures tab.
• Evaluations: Introduced a new evaluation template setting called Review Signature Satisfied. This new setting streamlines the signature process for users who are required to sign the evaluation twice, as both the staff member and the reviewer. When the Review Signature Satisfied box is checked on the template, the system will run a check when the evaluation reaches the status of Ready for Review. If a signature applied under the staff signatures has the same signature function required for the review signature, the document will skip collecting the review signature and go directly to Completed. Click here to learn more.

• Evaluations: New visual indicators have been added to the evaluations list view on patient charts. Click here to learn more.

  • The presence of the new Information icon signifies that either Force Signatures or Review Signature Satisfied is turned on in the template. Hovering over the icon will show if there are outstanding Added Signers and will also show the conditions for that specific document.

  • If the template has Force Signatures applied, you will see a grey rectangle around the signature groups that have the force.

  • For evaluations with Review Signature Satisfied, once the document moves to the Complete status, the review badge will turn grey to indicate that the review was not collected. 

• Portal: You can now allow Patients, Guardians, and Guarantors to revoke a consent form from the Patient Portal! Click here to learn more.

  • For any revokable template form, a Super Admin (or user with Manage Templates permissions) can turn on the new Allow Portal Revocation setting.

  • Once enabled, patients and their contacts will be able to revoke these consent forms in their portal accounts.

  • To keep your staff in the loop, we have also added a notification that triggers when a portal user revokes the consent. You can configure this new notification under Settings > Notifications.

Enhanced

• Billing: Enhanced the Billing Location Settings to be much more intuitive. For more information click here for location settings, here for instance settings, and here for konnectors.
• Facesheet: Updated the Relationship label to clearly specify that the relationship in question is the relationship of the patient to the subscriber on the patient facesheet and in patient settings.
• Group Schedule Templates [Scheduler Only]: We have added a new restriction for facilities using Scheduler where Group Schedules templates with active patients associated with them cannot be disabled.
• Group Session Templates [Scheduler Only]: For facilities using Scheduler, we have enhanced the group session template so that it cannot be disabled if there are still active individuals scheduled. Once all active participants have been removed, the template may be disabled.
• Billing: Overhauled the Unit Billing Payor Rule screen to be more intuitive and easier to understand.

• Billing: Overhauled the MAT Billing Medicare and Non-Medicare Payor Rules screens to be more intuitive and easier to understand.

• API: A new optional Param was added to the Census endpoint. API users can now include the param “exclude_preadmission=true” to ensure only patients with an MR number will be included in the census response.
• API: Update Patient PATCH endpoint so API users can now send an attachment to a Kipu EMR evaluation.
• CHESS Health: Transaction Logs have been added to the CHESS Health app. Allows users to easily check or troubleshoot their CHESS Health integration.
