The Ocean Server upgrade scheduled for Feb 8th, 2024 at 9:30 PM EST contains the following improvements and fixes.
Provider Network
Improvements:
- CMD Admins can now enable a Wait Time Management setting for approved Central Intake listings to have their wait time in the HealthMap displayed as "Managed by Central Intake".
- Patient Reminders appointment confirmations will now update the referral confirmation status.
- When referrals are marked as Save for Later, the corresponding note in all EMRs now include the referral's listing name and service description.
- When referrals are marked as Save for Later, the corresponding task in Med Access will now appear as an "Active" task rather than "Completed".
- Saved for Later referrals can now be accessed from the Ocean Patient Dashboard.
Fixed Bugs:
- Added a safety check to ensure Med Access and PSS charts are linked only when the patient's DOB matches, in addition to the usual health number linkage.
Patient Engagement
Improvements:
- The 'prevent patients from booking another appointment within "x" days' restriction has been revised. Now, patients can immediately view and book the next available appointment that will be available after the specified days have passed. Previously, patients were restricted from seeing any available appointment days until the specified days had passed.
- Improved OSCAR Pro Family Doctor matching based on patient demographics.
Fixed Bugs:
- Resolved bug so that a second address can be imported from Website Forms into Accuro for new patients.
- Resolved an issue where Licensed Providers were incorrectly listed in the Unlicensed category within the rule conditions for Patient Reminders.
Platform
Improvements:
- Providers no longer need to set a Primary Delegate to share their Patient Message License with. Instead, any Administrator, MOA/Secretary, Medical Students, Nurses, Residents, or Physician Assistants will automatically be enabled to send Patient Messages once a Provider License at the site is activated.
- Ocean Users can now easily add and manage Clinical Delegates for any Ocean site they belong to.
