- New feature: OceanConnect can now retrieve patients as needed to handle walk-in patients.
- Added additional rules in Ocean reminders.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent Ocean from updating when appointments are canceled/moved in the EMR.
- Added ability to easily switch between Ocean Tablet and OceanConnect applications on the same tablet via:
- new option in the Admin menu of Ocean Tablet to open OceanConnect.
- new button in the Configuration view of OceanConnect to open Ocean Tablet.
- Added functionality to mark a patient as arrived on all appointments booked for the same visit (e.g. all appointments for that patient on that day).
- Added support for eRequest Links to book appointments (coming soon; requires an Ocean Online site-wide license.)
- Fixed a bug to prevent unnecessary retries when polling an EMR API.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent synchronizing a schedule that includes recurring appointments.
- Added an administrator notification that is sent (once per day, maximum) if OceanConnect is unable to communicate with the EMR.
