1.7 Release Notes

  • Updated

The development tickets associated with the 1.7 OSCAR Pro Build are listed below.

Aside from usual bug fixes, there have been numerous technical improvements under the hood.

Certain development tickets have been excluded from the list below as they may include enhancements not fully activated, technical terminology that does not offer substantial insight to end users, or sensitive technical information.

Here's a brief overview of some of the work that has been done as part of the 1.7 release, but not included in the ticket list below:

Attachment Manager MVP

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Attachment Manager module!

This module enhances the ability to attach and share patient data, providing a consistent experience throughout the OSCAR Pro EMR.

The Attachment Manager is launched as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which means that not all intended functionality is available right away.

The MVP strategy aims to introduce fundamental functionalities promptly, enabling users to start benefiting from the Attachment Manager right away. By doing so, we can quickly learn what aspects are working well and identify areas needing improvement.

For more information on the existing functionality, future functionality, and how to use Attachment Manager, please review the articles below:

Enhancements to Automated Unit Testing

We've continued to make substantial modifications to our automated unit testing framework, bolstering its capabilities to execute comprehensive tests with every new build.

This helps improve the reliability and stability of future releases, and allows us to release improvements, new features, and bug fixes faster!
