6th March Maintenance Release

  1. Resolved an issue that would present an error when arriving an appointment containing only services with 0 cost, if the creditor and debtor company were the same. The check will no longer be performed if an appointment only contains 0 cost services.

  4. Improved the process for importing OH Portal account permissions; when importing an account as having the 'manage' permission for a parent department, that account is now assigned manage permission for all children of that department as well, mirroring the same activity performed manually.
  5. Improved the user experience of viewing and investigating validation errors during an import. Errors can now be exported as a CSV making the process of investigating and rectifying them easier.

  2. Fixed an issue with the Reporting System which was causing Gross and Net columns on the Credit Notes table to report the incorrectly swapped values. Reports which were using these columns should not need updating as a data fix was also applied.
  3. Fixed an issue which could cause the ‘Go to result..’ button on a Pathology Result work item not to work as expected. All Pathology Results should now correctly navigate the user to the appropriate place in the Patient’s Medical History.
  4. Fixed an issue which could cause data not to save when switching a V5 billing rule from Dynamic to Static date range filters. Switching from Dynamic to Static or vice versa will now clear any entered dates/values and automatically save changes as the user continues to edit the rule.

  4.

  3. Improved the page validation on Patient Questionnaires, to allow Table rows to be made mandatory when patients are completing questionnaires.
  4. Improved the validation of questionnaire mandatory fields; if Date or Checkbox fields are mandatory, the patient will now receive a warning when moving from the page the question is on, rather than at the end of the questionnaire.

  6. As an additional security measure, encryption was added for the state of a page that is built, read or changed on the server.

 

14th December 2020 Maintenance Release

  1. Added some additional sanitisation to CSV and HTML outputs to prevent possible issues caused by erroneous or malicious content contained in exported or imported data.
  2. Added some extra permissions checks on page loads across the system to ensure that permissions are calculated correctly even when reloading a page with additional or changed filters.
  3. Resolved an edge case where the Patient Portal API would allow Patients to create new Patient records. There are now some additional permission checks which only resolve as true for Referral Portal Manager accounts with the Default Rights permission. 
  4. Fixed an issue that could cause Pathways to fail if a task name contained certain words. Pathway task names containing this subset of words will now resolve to a blank string, and the pathway will be allowed to continue.
  5. Changed a label against documents in the Medical History to be correctly labelled 'Document Created' rather than 'Last edit date'

 

7th December 2020 Maintenance Release

  1. Fixed an edge case where automatic referral from a Post Placement Questionnaire/New Starter Health Questionnaire could fail if the default PPQ referral appointment type wasn't included in an employer's default chargeband. All PPQ/NSHQ automatic referrals will now use the default SLA configuration in Admin > Work Type Configuration > Occupational Health, unless there is a portal referral rule which would take precedence.
  2. Tidied up the behaviour of unknown template code errors. Previously there was a split between displaying an error code on the generated document, and silently failing to create the document. Now all unknown template code errors will generate an error code, and not silently fail.
