Provider Network
Improvements
- Enabled Autofill Templates for all Ocean users so the autofill dropdown appears in eligible referral send workflows.
- Added custom export template support for eSubmission analytics so sites can generate tailored eSubmission reports using core and custom fields.
- Added eSubmissions to the default landing page options so users can choose to open Ocean directly to their eSubmissions page after login.
- Improved eFax referral messaging so Ontario Health eFax recipients are clearly shown as unavailable message targets, while users can continue messaging eReferral participants included in the workflow (Ontario Health).
- Added eConsult disclaimer copy to the directory listing setup page so users understand Ontario funding limitations when configuring a listing to accept eConsults (Ontario Health).
Fixed Bugs
- Resolved an issue whereby eSubmission senders received an error message when attempting to send an eSubmission with an attachment.
Patient Engagement
Fixed Bugs
- Fixed FHIR tablet check-in so patients with past appointments can still check in when they also have a valid appointment today.
Platform
Improvements
- Added a self-service "change authenticator" option so users with multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled can switch to a new device without disabling MFA or requiring the OceanMD Support team’s assistance.
- Disabled user accounts that have been inactive for one year or more while preserving user and site settings in case reactivation is required.
