Improvements
OSCAR-4469 - Introduce Default Tickler site preference selection for multisite
- This improvement introduces a "Default Tickler Recipient' drop selection to define a preferred Default Location. Previously, while a user could associate a default Recipient for every Location in OSCAR, there were certain sections in the system where the Location was not known and hence the default would not function as intended.
Introducing a Default Tickler Location allows users to select their preferred Location in cases where the Location is not defined.
The new dropdown is found under Preferences and displays only for systems with Multisite enabled:
OSCAR-4461 - Increase Name field length in appointment to facilitate long patient names
- Clinics that tend to have patients with longer names can now enable a setting that increases the length of visible characters in Last Name field when editing/creating appointment.
Administration > Schedule Management > Display Settings > Increase 'Last Name' field width during create/edit appointment
OSCARPRO-1684 - Ability to configure date for drug to drug interactions display
- Previously the RX Interactions within OSCAR only count certain 'active' medications within OSCAR. Depending on the way data is being inputted into the Rx Module, especially in relation to migrations from another EMR, certain old drugs may not count as 'active' and thus not display as part of the drug to drug interactions.
This release introduces a setting to allow clinics to set a 'number of days in the past' for which drug to drug interactions should be counted, regardless of whether the drug is 'active' or not.
To enable this, an Administrative user can select "Yes" and input the desired number of days for which the interactions should apply for (eg. 365 days)
Administration > System Management > Rx Settings > Display Drug to Drug interaction results for the following number of days in the past:
OSCARPRO-1565 - Open Health Custom Forms Unavailable In OSCAR Pro
- This release introduces 4 new Forms available for use. These Forms were previously created on a custom basis within a different OSCAR EMR build and are being made available for systems that switch to OSCAR Pro.
Form names:
- Epistaxis Evaluation
- Otologic Evaluation
- Sinus Evaluation
- Sinus Follow Up
The Forms can be enabled under Administration > Select Forms/eForms > Select Forms.
See the following guide for more information: How To Enable/Disable Forms
New Features
OSCAR-4148 - Add Preference to prevent autoclose of echart on sign
- A new Preference has been added to allow users to choose whether clicking the "Sign & Save" button on the eChart will auto-close the eChart automatically.
The setting can be found under the following Preference:
Preferences > Configure Sign & Save Button in eChart
When this preference is checkmarked, clicking Sign & Save will Sign and Save the note, and refresh the eChart (without automatically closing it).
OSCAR-1168 - Lab measurements to map using LOINC coding (loinc_code)
- Historical measurements that display when clicking a specific test name on a patients hl7 lab file traditionally groups the historical measurements based on the Lab Identifier value sent by the originating lab (Lifelabs, Dynacare, etc.).
As Lab Identifiers differ between lab services, this created an inconsistency in the display of historical measurements when viewed by clicking a lab result directly (eg. Lifelabs may not have the same identifier as Dynacare or vice versa, or an identifier can change from time to time).
This release introduces another way for lab measurements to be organized outside of "Lab Identifier" when viewing historical measurement results for a specific measurement. It can be be modified via the following setting:
Administration > Labs/Inbox > Lab Display Settings > Display historical HL7 lab value results based on:
