Version 2.13.1 (10/5/2006)

Here is a list of new features and enhancements

• If no IV Rate specified on a TPN order, then IV Rate does not print on the TPN Label to avoid confusion of having the label read IV Rate 0 hours for orders like a tapering TPN.
• Syringe Label prints Do Not Use After in order to be consistent with the other labels. If the facility is located in NJ, the label will read "Use By: " in accordance with state regulatory laws.
• Workstation update should display a warning if the user does not have sufficient permissions to install the workstation update (unable to register dll's, etc.)
• Double-click supported when selecting a patient allergy.
• Home Health Agency phone number added to the patient profile screen.
• Option added under Utilities...Options...Order Entry to warn if Fill Stop Date and/or Next Fill Date fall on a weekend.
• MAR tab in the Options screen to add MAR Sections.
• MAR Section added to order types.
• Multi-facility pharmacy name/address prints on labels (Order, IV and TPN) if the order type is using a Multi-Facility counter.
• NDC Response file is no longer cached to the local application folder.
• On the Order Label, the quantity authorized/refills moved to the same line as quantity and the RPh moved one line down.
• Patient name and id added to the caption portion of the clinical document screen.
• Blank line added between clinical documents when printing multiple documents on one report.
• NCPDP Responses are not stored on the local drive but are cached in memory. Previous versions stored the NCPDP response file in a temporary file on the client machine (NCPDP.TXT) and then opened the file in Notepad. The response is now kept in memory and dumped to a Crystal Report and displayed in the Print Preview window. This addresses issues on Citrix servers where users cannot write any files to the Citrix server. This also addresses any issues with patient/financial data retained on a client's computer.
• X12 Overrides table added to handle changing data elements in Loop 2300 of the X12 837P file. 
• When a user has rights to All Facilities, the program will default the login facility to the last facility the user accessed.
• When importing inventory from First Databank, the program now reads the package size to determine the total volume for items with a dosage form of ML. 
• Expired date added to the patient record.
• If two or more records in the Inventory Price History table have the same InventoryRef, ChangeDate and PriceType, the program will use the last InventoryPriceChangeRef which should be the latest change.

Here is a list of things fixed

• When clicking Cancel after editing a payer record, you could click Edit without having a payer record selected.
• Under Batch Confirm, order with the same start/stop dates now are listed.
• Error 94 fixed when changing the font size on clinical document templates.
• For Patient Account Statements, when the option is used to print statements only with a patient portion, the program will only include statements for a patient with a patient portion and a claim balance.
• When configured to force workstation updates, the workstation update will wait for 5 seconds to allow for the program to shutdown in order to avoid encountering an overwrite error of the file since it is still in use.
• Min/Max Dose Ranges display fixed on the order entry screen.
• When opening the other medications order entry screen, the default of 1 has been removed from the item selection screen.
• Patient Profile - Active Orders report fixed so that pharmacy orders and other medication orders display on the same page.
• Price changes captured in the price history table when using inventory pricing rules.
• Inventory Type field in Reports displayed in yellow when the type cannot be used to filter a report.
• Credit Log removed from the report list. The Receipts and/or Adjustments Log should be used instead.
• Patient And Order Reconciliation Report removed from the report list.
• When adding a pricing rule, the rank is saved. Previous versions were only saving the rank during an edit.
• Prescription Counter field expanding to 50 characters to fix error when saving an order type with Multi-Facility Supply Counter 1 category.
• Primary, secondary and tertiary insurance variables cleared when selecting a new patient. If selecting/admitting a new patient with less insurance records than the previous patient and adding a new therapy, the program could have mistakenly linked the patient therapy record to the previous patient's insurance record.
• When scheduled a patient visit, a new visit wasn't always saved. Also, when creating a recurring visit, the user was forced to enter both a ending date and number of visits. The program now only requires one of these to create the recurring visit: end date or number of visits.
• Claim screen size adjusted to entire form can be viewed.
• Drug Statement Report fixed.
• Narcotics reports for the OH: Fixed days supply sent as 0 when fill start and fill stop dates are the same. Component Ingredient Quantity is correctly mapped to field 5 instead of field 4.
