April 2026 Release Notes

15.15.0.0 - April 30, 2026

This release is being deployed to clients in stages and may not be available in your instance at this time.

New

• EMR: The system no longer supports completely free-typed insurance options. Check out this article for more detailed information on what that means for your instance.
• Integrated Billing: The CMD and RCM Konnectors settings pages now have a Search by Name field where users can search for specific konnectors.
• Integrated Billing: Outgoing Demographic and Billing Audit Tool transmissions will now include the full middle name for the patient and subscriber instead of their middle initial.
• Integrated Billing: Improved MAT Dosing payer rule logic so that when the minimum number of days has been met and billed for a weekly bundle, the system knows that the weekly bundle has already been transmitted, and won’t create a new weekly bundle for the same time frame.
• Labs: Added the ability to customize Requisition Due flags for specific labs and specimen sources. A Super Admin can make changes to existing flags or create new ones under Settings > Flags (see the Flags configuration for more details on configuring Flags).
• Labs: You can now view an End Date in the lab orders table, making it easier to identify orders that are nearing expiration.
• Labs: The Secondary Diagnosis Code(s) selector now defaults to Same as Facesheet, sending all facesheet diagnosis codes to the lab. You can still leave the field blank to send only the Primary Diagnosis Code or choose specific patient diagnoses. Check out this article for more information on creating lab orders.
• MAT Central Registry: Added support for reporting Actual Dosing Data to the Lighthouse Central Registry to meet reporting requirements in applicable states. 
• Physician Dashboard: Introduced the ability to sign orders flagged as “Pending Discontinue” when the Pending Discontinue feature is enabled in Settings > ePrescribe > Locations. For more information on the Physician Dashboard, click here.

Fixed

• Facesheet: Fixed an issue where the required Lab Guarantor field in the Lab Testing section did not validate correctly when the Lab Guarantor Type was set to Spouse.
• MAT Dispensing: Fixed an issue where clicking MAT Order from the dispensing screen triggered an incorrect error stating that doses were currently being dispensed. This error prevented users from modifying or placing orders even when no active dispensing was in progress.
• MAT Dispensing: Fixed an issue where the error message “Doses being dispensed” appeared after a dispensing error occurred and the dispensing screen was closed.
• New Med Pass (Early Access): Fixed an issue where the third panel of New Med Pass didn’t appear on tablets when using Safari. 

15.14.0.0 - April 28, 2026

This release is being deployed to clients in stages and may not be available in your instance at this time.

New

• Drug/Allergy Interaction Checking: Pharmacist, Order, Nurse, and Physician Dashboard views now display an icon indicating when an interaction check flag was triggered at the time of order creation. Users can also access detailed information about the interaction.
• Integrated Billing: Added a new warning to the IB warning/error suite that will alert billers if the guarantor on file is incomplete. Check out this article for more information on billing warning and error messages.

• Kipu Intelligence: The Group Note Assistant has been updated with a rainbow underline visual indicator that indicates that AI-assisted content has been inserted into the Individual Assessment/Intervention field on the Group Note. This enhancement helps clinicians quickly identify which patients have AI-assisted inserted content at a glance, supporting review, accuracy, and clinical oversight in both the edit and read-only views of the note. For more information on Group Note Assistant, click here.

• New Med Pass (Early Access): Introduced the First and Ongoing Response icon in the Patient List panel to highlight patients who are due for a response. Click here for more information on the new Med Pass.

• New Med Pass (Early Access): Improved patient information display in the second panel to ensure the correct patient name is shown consistently.
• MAR: Fixed an issue where PRN Taper and Titration orders with a frequency set to “every” were incorrectly displayed as scheduled doses in the MAR.
• MAT Billing: Fixed an issue that sometimes caused providers to populate from a previous order when using the Ordering Provider service settings.
• Unit Inventory: Fixed an issue where completed or ready-for-review Unit Dispensing Sessions could not be accessed, resulting in a 404 error.

New

• Chart Assistant: MAT/eRx Insights (Beta): We’ve expanded Chart Assistant to include MAT and eRx insights related to a patient.

Given the importance of medication data, this feature is being released in beta as we validate performance at scale and continue refining.

  Your feedback is important to improving these insights. Please flag anything that doesn’t meet expectations or appears incomplete so we can continue enhancing the experience. Check out this article for more information on Chart Assistant.

• Note Assistant: We've added rainbow underlines under the label of each item in an evaluation that has AI-assisted content inserted. Check out this article for more information on Note Assistant.

• Pump Calibration Report: Reopening a report with “Today” selected as the date range now refreshes data based on the current location, streamlining end-of-day workflows for multi-location users. Check out this article for more information about the report.

Kipu Payments - April 10, 2026

New

• Storing Payments: The payer's billing address must now be included, so that the processes for adding a new payment method and for saving a payment method are the same. This change is intended to improve authorization rates. Click here for more information on entering payments on behalf of the patient and here for patient/client-facing instructions.
  

Fixed

• Payment Lists: Fixed a bug that was preventing users from properly using filters on payment lists. 

15.12.0.0 - April 7, 2026

New

• Chart Assistant: You can now ask Chart Assistant questions about patient rounds. This addition reduces the need to manually scan rounds for the information. Rounds can also be considered in any analysis that Chart Assistant performs. Check out this article for more information on Chart Assistant.
• Evaluations: We’ve enhanced the Evaluation list view in the Patient Chart to provide greater visibility into AI activity. Evaluations with AI involvement will now display a rainbow underline indicator. When you hover over the underline, you’ll see how many fields contain AI-assisted content from Note Assistant. For more information on Note Assistant, click here.
  
  If Note Audit has been run, the most recent Note Audit score will also be displayed. This update provides at-a-glance insight into AI usage and documentation quality without opening the evaluation. For more information on Note Audit, check out this article.
  
  This change will apply to new forms added to the chart moving forward. 
• Labs: We have removed the Lab Orders tab under Dashboard > Orders because it was tied to an older lab workflow and had not shown lab orders here for a long time. If you would like to see current lab orders in this dashboard, please let us know through the feedback portal. You can still access Labs from the Labs tab in the header, from an individual patient's chart, and from the Physician Dashboard as usual.
• MAT Billing: Updated medication inventory items to generate clinical provider data from the corresponding dosing item. While the information will be present regardless, it will only be visible in Reports > Billing Audit Tool if the Clinical Render Provider column is visible. For instructions on setting up MAT dosing services, check out this article.
• Notifications: Added a new notification, Requires Provider Review, in Settings > Notifications. Users will receive a toast or email notification, depending on the configuration, when an order is flagged as Requires Provider Review in the Pharmacist Review Dashboard.

• Physician/Pharmacist Dashboard: Pharmacist users can now mark medication orders as needing provider review from the Pharmacist Dashboard. As part of the process, they will add a reason for the review.

  The provider will receive a notification (if Requires Provider Review is set up under Settings > Notifications) letting them know that there is an order for review. Providers can review these orders from their Provider Dashboard or by clicking on the notification. The physician can then open the order, read the pharmacist's review, add their own review, and click Acknowledge.

  The physician's review reasons will appear on the order, which will return to the New Order status.

  Check out this article for more detailed information for pharmacists, and this article for more information for physicians.

Fixed
