ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS

Deletion Control for Document Categories, Tags, and Types

Environment settings > Document management > Document categories

Environment settings > Document management > Document tags

Environment settings > Document management > Document types

To ensure system consistency and prevent accidental data loss, validation controls have been introduced to block the deletion of Document Categories, Types, and Tags that are currently in use (i.e., if a document associated with this category, type, or tag is linked on the DOCUMENTS TAB in the Patient's profile). When an attempt is made to delete these items, an error message will be displayed.

Instead of deletion, these items can be marked as inactive if necessary. 

[UK] Deletion Control for GPs and Practices

Environment settings > NHS Configuration > General practitioners

Environment settings >NHS Configuration > Practices

Validation controls have been added to prevent the deletion of General Practitioners and Practices that are in use (i.e., specified in the patient's profile, on the PERSONAL INFO tab). The corresponding error messages are displayed if an attempt is made to delete these items. If necessary, General Practitioners and Practices can be made inactive instead. 

These changes ensure system consistency and prevent accidental data loss, thereby maintaining smooth and reliable operations.

[AU] Revised HSP Device Quote [Basic] Template

Environment Settings> Print Settings > Printing Templates > HSP Device Quote [Basic]

To enhance clarity and compliance, essential wording regarding the Australian Government's involvement in subsidizing program maintenance agreements has been added to the HSP Device Quote [Basic] Template. This update ensures that clients are accurately informed about co-payment requirements and potential additional costs.

[AU] Updated HSP Tax Invoice And Claim Template

Environment Settings> Print Settings > Printing Templates > HSP Tax Invoice And Claim [Basic]

We have implemented the new format provided by HSP for the Tax Invoice and Claim template. This update ensures compliance with the latest HSP guidelines and offers an improved template experience for our users.

TASKS

Get - Obtain the List of Tasks Сreated in the Last X Hours [v1] 

To streamline task management and monitoring, GET requests can now be used to obtain a list of tasks created within a defined timeframe (in hours) through the Manage Public API. The information includes such key details as:

1. Task ID 
   
2. Task Name
   
3. Priority
   
4. Due Date
   
5. User ID
   

4.2. DWH Schema Changes

 4.2.1 Added Tables

The Data Warehouse (DWH) structure is uniform across all country layers. However, for operational convenience, each country layer can only access data relevant to them, with data access being managed at the customer level.

Irrelevant Options When Adding External Devices

1. An issue where irrelevant options for battery types and colors appeared when adding external devices has been resolved. The implementation has been updated to ensure that only relevant choices from the product catalog are displayed in the dropdown menus, streamlining the equipment management process.

[AU] Error Viewing Stock Details for External Devices

1. The issue where clicking 'View stock details' for an external hearing aid on the Patient's EQUIPMENT tab resulted in an error message, "Stock Product Item cannot be found," has been resolved. Since these external devices are brought in by users and not tracked in Manage, the VIEW STOCK DETAILS option for such devices has been removed to avoid confusion.

[AU] Incorrect Date for Rescheduled Appointments in Patient Sale

Patients > Patient sale 

1. The issue where the rescheduled appointment date in a Patient Sale would initially display incorrectly and then change to the correct date upon reopening the sale multiple times has been resolved. This fix ensures that the appointment date now remains accurate and consistent with the rescheduled date, even after accessing the patient sale multiple times.

[AU] Error When Canceling Trial for Custom Order

1. A fix has been implemented for the issue where canceling a trial for custom-ordered products did not correctly update the inventory status. Previously, the status remained unchanged from “Reserved by Order” to “OnTrial” or to “Returned to Supplier” or “Available” upon cancellation.

[AU] "0" Co-Payment Amount on HSP Maintenance Agreement

1. The issue where the HSP Maintenance Agreement showed a co-payment amount of 0, despite a specific sum being registered and an expected balance due, has been resolved. The correct co-payment amount now accurately appears on the HSP Maintenance Agreement when printing.

Appointment Slots Hidden by Appointment Reasons Pop-up

1. The issue of appointment slots being obscured by the Appointment Reasons pop-up has been resolved. When multiple appointment reasons were assigned to a specialist, it made selecting free slots difficult, mainly on the last or second-to-last day/column in the Scheduler. Now, slots are always visible as expected.
