Retain Draft Chat Messages in Patient Conversation until Sent

Release Date: 06-01-2022

Details: Previously, if you started to type a text response to a patient in Chat, and you navigated away from the Chat feature, you would lose anything you had typed. Now, the message will be saved as a draft until such time as the user clicks on Send. This is particularly useful when you need to copy a form link and have to return back to your draft chat.

 

Follow-Ups Default View to Include Active and Inactive Patients

Release Date: 05-18-2022

Details: Previously the default view found under the Patient Management reports My Follow Ups (Past 30 Days) and Follow Ups would only show Active patients, and you would have to remove the default filter to see Inactive patients as well. Now we have removed this filter from both reports so that you automatically see all your follow-ups, regardless of the patient’s status.
