The Ocean Tablet release v162 is a major release that includes the following:

• New feature: Ocean Tablet now integrates with the Ontario MoH Health Card Validation (HCV) service. Enter your HCV credentials in Ocean site settings to begin using the service. Once configured, your Ocean Tablet (in kiosk mode) will validate patient health numbers at check-in.

• Fixed an issue where the eForm editor would incorrectly crop some images.

The Ocean Tablet release v159 is a major release that includes the following:

• New walk-in support! Now with an integrated EMR, the Ocean Tablet will allow patients to check-in and complete rule-based forms (e.g. reason for visit!) even if they don't have an appointment, and it will add the patient to a walk-in provider schedule when complete. Note that you need the latest OceanConnect app as well for this functionality (as well as your EMR providers API enabled).
• We've added a new script function "pt.hasOnDemandForms()" that will allow you to inspect a patient to see if a clinician has picked forms for this patient already. This is especially useful for kiosk mode tablets that don't necessarily want to block the queue for a patient's specially chosen forms (or forms that the patient failed to complete at home beforehand).
• Kiosk mode can now block late patients! If you want your patients to present at the reception desk when more than X minutes late, you can now do this via tablet settings in the web portal.
• Disabled the tamper-proofing check when tablet is in dedicated OceanConnect mode (so it doesn't deregister unexpectedly due to automatic software upgrades).
• Minor change to shared key entry screen button labels for clarity.
• Added script call pt.getApproxAgeInDays()
• Fixes to the @ptRxFriendly keyword logic to handle null treatment/med fields (provided by some EMRs) more gracefully.
• Minor changes to improve error reporting diagnostics.
• Changed tamper-proofing logic to ignore TeamViewer, which is used by CognisantMD staff to troubleshoot remotely.
• Fixed the French translation for street number.

The Ocean Tablet release v158 includes:

• Adding separate 'ptApptReason' and 'ptVisitType' keywords to support rules that previously had to parse the combined value (in Accuro, these are separate fields).
• Fixed a potential error that could occur on the "final" screen if the network connection fails when you click the retry button.
• Fixed an issue that could result in duplicate patient records in Ocean if an error occurs in a particular part of a server call.

The Ocean Tablet release v157 includes the following:

• Support for Accuro CDS links to retrieve patients dynamically -- to pick forms for a patient, send Ocean Online messages, send referrals, etc.
• Fixed a potential crash that occurs when Android system sound is set to "none" and tablet is in kiosk mode.
• Changing HN entry logic to allow 'enter' key to be hit after fewer than 9 digits.
