The Ocean Server upgrade scheduled for January 26th, 2021 at 9:30 PM EST contains the following features, improvements and fixes. Support articles related to the new features and improvements are also listed below.
eReferral
New Features
- Ocean now supports advanced referral splitting functionality so that only the relevant information for each ‘child’ Health Service Offering referral is included in the 'child' referral note
- eReferrals can now be sent to point-of-service systems using the HL7® FHIR® eReferral API defined by the Ontario eReferral HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide - Draft v0.10.0. (Implementation details are available from: https://simplifier.net/guide/eReferral-Ontario/Introduction)
- Point-of-service systems can now securely launch Ocean as a SMART®-on-FHIR® app with patient and user information 'in context'. (Implementation details are available from: http://www.hl7.org/fhir/smart-app-launch/)
Improvements
- Revised name of "Referral Note" to "Referral Form Summary" to mitigate confusion around the referral note vs. notes pane.
Fixed Bugs
- Resolved a bug that was creating duplicate imported documents in OSCAR Pro (WELL EMR) from sent eReferrals.
- Ocean now logs a referral event when a past appointment is added or removed from a referral.
- The "Save and Close" and "Close" Buttons now behave as expected when a referral is opened from Accuro's Patient Dashboard Link or from the PSS Custom Form.
- Clicking "Done" within the service directory listing forms serviced by Caredove will now automatically close the iFrame.
- Removed the 'request to confirm appointment' from emails sent to patients about rescheduled referrals.
- Resolved bug so that the OSCAR Ocean toolbar maintains the link for all the site's patients that have an active eReferral.
- Revised the "Active eReferral/eConsult" counter on the OSCAR Ocean toolbar so that it only includes non-completed eReferrals and eConsults.

- The iCal attachment included in the Patient Reminder email will always list “Health Appointment” as the event name.
Fixed Bugs
- Resolved a bug that was creating duplicate imported documents in OSCAR Pro (WELL EMR) from patient authenticated website form submissions.
