eServices

Improvements

  • Referrals initiated from Accuro will now auto-populate the family physician, height and weight [in metric units] and lab value fields in the eReferral.
  • Added a setting to enable sites to download Referral Records and Notes in the TIFF file format instead of the default PDF format.
  • Renamed the "Cancel" action in the Referrals Action Menu to "Cancel Referral" for clarity.
  • Removed the default "Print Referral" button from Ocean eReferral Network listings that do not accept eReferrals.
  • Added a lockout mechanism to the OAuth credentials API to increase security.
  • Added the ability to perform authentication before downloading attachments received via the HL7 FHIR Communication payloads.
  • Added the Referring site's siteNum and PractitionerRole to the HL7 FHIR ServiceRequest resource so that a single POS endpoint can be used to receive referrals for multiple Ocean sites.

Fixed Bugs

  • Improvements to the eReferral import software routine to mitigate confusing UI messaging and duplicated download content. 
  • When a Referral provider-to-provider message is sent via HRM but the provider’s Professional ID has not been saved (in the My Account > Clinical Contact Information section), Ocean will no longer display a checkmark (successful send) icon.
