Ocean Server Upgrade Sept 8 2015 Release Notes

Features and bug fixes scheduled for tonight's release:

  • eRequests: fixed the criteria so that the "send" folder doesn't include patient generated eRequests
  • eRequests: adding support for ConsultConduit eConsults in the Ocean directory as demonstrated at eHealth 2015 conference
  • eRequests: added warning for GPs referring to non-validated referral targets
  • eForm Editor: fixed bug clearing rememberIf, rememberTag fields
  • OSCAR integration: now Ocean will update the patient object when the OSCAR eForm is opened for a patient already loaded into Ocean
  • Minor cleanup of code around tablet settings dialog in the web portal
  • Fixes for some edge case rendering of numeric scales in Ocean Online
  • Fixed eFormAction "send email"; now an eForm can send an email to a patient automatically
  • "Invite Cohort" is now labelled "Email Cohort" in the patients tab for clarity (since you can use it to blast emails to patients as well as web questionnaires)

Some interesting eForm content this week:

  • Dictation Assistant: we built an Ocean form to help docs using Dragon Dictate, which doesn't work nicely with Java-based EMRs. This Ocean eForm allows you to dictate into an Ocean form (in a web browser) instead of the Java app, and the notes will go into the chart like any other Ocean note.
  • Some improvements to cancer and other screening forms to use custom vitals to help in reminder/search logic for preventative screening programs
  • Additional pain tools and exercise assessment tool (IPAQ)

Ocean Server Upgrade Sept 1 2015 Release Notes

Features and bug fixes scheduled for tonight's release:

  • Now you can filter eRequests in the inbox by eRequest link (e.g. so you can view new patient registrations without the prescription renewals or appointment requests/cancellations)
  • Conversation/Messaging panel in eRequest dialog will be hidden for patient-generated eRequests for the time being (it will still appear for GP referrals for messaging with the GP). We intend to reintroduce this panel for emailing directly with patients from the referral dialog.
  • Fix to eFormAction dialog box in the EForm Editor to avoid phantom eFormActions from being created (this was causing some "email send" eFormActions to be saved unintentionally)
  • Fixes to query that drives the usage reports, which have been failing intermittently due to data volume on the system
  • Fixing error handling and simplifying deployment for new OSCAR Ocean integrations (including automatic validation of encryption key, similar to the TELUS PSS integration)
  • Adding stroke care and neurorehabilitation as separate health services in the Ocean eReferral Directory
  • Minor fix to geocoding logic for the Ocean eReferral Directory
  • Small change to the way the fee warning on the Ocean Online form completion to further clarify pricing options
  • Sending Web Questionnaires now shows you the number of credits remaining (this was broken a few weeks ago)
  • Minor fixes to Accuro integration, e.g. fixing Ocean logo display
  • Fixed drag-and-drop issue for favourites configuration on tablet

Ocean Server Upgrade August 25 2015 Release Notes

New features and bug fixes in the August 25th release:

  • OSCAR integration: Ocean can now update smoking status in OSCAR (like PS Suite). We still intend to build more generic mappings to handle other OSCAR measurements using the same custom vitals already flagged in many Ocean eForms with the @ notation. 
  • OSCAR integration: OSCAR users can now open online forms for a patient, like PS Suite users have been able to do for a while.
  • Ocean Referrals: Now you can only select "walk-in" in a referral for certain health services.

Miscellaneous bug fixes:

  • Study preview in the eForm Editor now shows the value instead of the text for the answers.
  • Minor fix to return the most recently patient uploaded in Ocean Tablet kiosk mode. An upcoming version of the PS Suite Ocean custom form will provide a better fix by reusing an existing patient record if one is found in Ocean.
  • Non-Ocean (anonymous) EMR users get a better message when faxing a requisition
  • OSCAR will now show an existing eForm queue for a patient in the OSCAR eForm.
  • OSCAR will now show a nicer error message if the eForm fails to load.
  • Miscellaneous improvements to the Ocean API reference implementation page.

New EForms this week:

  • Nipissing screens can now send email links to patients to view the Nipissing parent information. The forms have been updated. We'll release a new tablet version (105) that supports this functionality.
  • WSIB Form 8 history collection
  • PAR-Q+ and IPAQ (exercise questionnaires)
  • Pap Test Reminder
