• Concurrent Reviews (Billing): Enhanced the patient facesheet to hide the Add Service Review button for locations and patients that have no services configured. This update should reduce misclicks and bad documentation and alleviate downstream processes like billing. For more information on adding services in the Concurrent Reviews section, check out this article. 
• Group Sessions: The time picker in the group session notes has been upgraded to a single component where the user can adjust both hours and minutes before saving. 
• Outcomes: The outcome assessment Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10) is now available in all instances. 
• Portal: We have updated the emergency phone number for our UK-based clients. When portal users compose a new message, they will see the “IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, CALL 999” warning.
  • Our US- and Canada-based clients will continue seeing “CALL 911” in this dialog. For more information on sending messages as a patient from the portal, click here. 
• Portal (EMR): The new portal role Allow document share allows you to control which users can share forms with portal users and which cannot.
   
  • When this role is enabled, the user will see a share icon next to any form marked as available in the portal. When disabled, the user will not see the share icon and won’t be able to share the form with portal users. This new role does not affect any other portal-related functionality or general EMR permissions.
    
  • This new role will be enabled for all users by default to achieve parity with the current functionality. We encourage Super Admins to review users with this permission and unassign this role from users who do not need it under the Manage Roles tab. Click here for instructions on assigning this role, and here for instructions on sharing files and documents.
• Portal: We have made the Document Shared notification for portal users more generic by removing the document’s name and shared date. For more information on shared files and documents, check out this article.
  
• Pre-Admission Statuses: Updated the behavior of the hardcoded Archive pre-admission status. When a user generates the MR# in the facesheet, it will automatically uncheck the Archive pre-admissions status. This behavior will only apply to the hardcoded value of the Archive status. All other customizable pre-admission statuses will remain unchanged. For more information about pre-admission patient charts, click here.

Fixed

• Billing: Improved the behavior of the Replace Codes payor rules for HCodes and RCodes. If your billable item has both an HCode and RCode and your payor rule only wants to replace the HCode, the system will not drop the original RCode. This change brings the Replace Codes payor rule in-line with how other payor rules behave.
• Calendar: Fixed an issue where certain users were unable to create new appointments on the Kipu Calendar.
• Group Session Schedule View: Fixed an issue where group sessions after 7:30pm would appear at the top of the schedule list ahead of the morning sessions.
• MAT Billing: Fixed an issue that caused the RCode to not appear on the billing report for Medicare dosing items when the MAT Dosing Service was configured with an RCode but the MAT Billing payor was not.
• Notifications: Fixed an issue where the Evaluation Added Signer notification would show up in both Inbox and Legacy sections. We have stopped notifications from duplicating in the Legacy tab and encourage Super Admins to verify all locations have a notification for Evaluation Added Signer set up.
• Rounds: Fixed an issue where some scheduled Rounds could not be sorted alphabetically by client name.
• Treatment Plans: Fixed an issue where users with the role of Therapist or the Edit Treatment Plans feature were able to enter the Edit view of a form before its status was In Use, even though the signature function did not match.
• Treatment Plans: Fixed an issue where information regarding the template and the rectangles to show forced signatures disappeared after the treatment plan moved to the In Use status.
• Quick Text: Fixed an issue where the first line of inserted text was aligned on the left when set to align to the center or right

12.6.0.8 - June 13, 2023

12.6.0.3-4 - June 2, 2023

Fixed

This fix will also resolve the issue for inpatient levels of care that are configured to not require documentation on patients that are already discharged.
• Evaluation: Fixed an issue where the spacing and formatting disappeared from completed evaluations.
• Facesheet: Fixed an issue where an entry was not removed from the level of care history when a user changed a client's level of care from an evaluation form and then deleted the form.
