Appointment Book

The appointment book has received updates for family appointments and short-notice list functionality.

📅 Family Appointments: Double-clicking a family member on the Edit Appointment window now changes the selected patient to the clicked family member.

📅 Short Notice List: If a patient only has a mobile number, clicking on the number in the Short Notice List tab opens a new prompt allowing the user to send an SMS or call the patient on their mobile.

 🐜 Fixed an issue where the provider field was not populated when an appointment was copied to the clipboard.

Third Party Connections

Connection to third-party software has been streamlined, with faster load times and additional notifications.

🔗 Standard links (including Second Opinion) preload in the background as soon as the 'Chart' tab is clicked on the patient's record.

🔮A flashing alert has been added to the Second Opinion AI tab when an image has been processed and is ready to be viewed.

 🐜 Fixed an issue with the Second Opinion AI flashing alert, where preloading set the image as viewed as soon as the tab was loaded in the background.

  NHS

Clinipad NHS forms have been updated:

🐜 Eire: Fixed an issue, causing payor transactions to crash. 

⚙️ Quick chart menu configuration can be accessed from the service list setup wizard.
