Special Notes Formatting - You can now check spelling or apply special formatting to your free form notes from the Notes module. A special formatting bar at the top of the Notes screen adds over a dozen text formatting features, including bold, italics, and bullets. This enhancement will be available in other areas of the LMR (such as Document Management) in a subsequent release.
Note: Due to this enhancement, you will initially receive a security warning, asking if you want to install and run "Partners RTF Utility." You will need to click Yes to this message. You will receive this message the first time you view and the first time you print a note.
Other Notes Enhancements - An Ok-Final button has been added to simultaneously finalize and accept free form notes (this feature already exists for structured notes). Free form notes have also been enhanced to include all relevant health maintenance fields when the Health Maintenance button is clicked. Also, a Delete button has been added for removing individual entries (problems, medications, etc) mistakenly added to structured notes.
Create Provider To Do's from Clinical Messages - You can now choose to create provider to-do items (as reminders for follow-up action) from your clinical messages. Click the Save as ToDo Item checkbox when creating or replying to clinical messages.
Out of Office Assistant for Clinical Messages - You can now specify that users who attempt to reach you during a specified date range receive an message indicating that you are away and when you will return. You can also choose to forward your new clinical messages to another user from your practice. See Automatically Replying to Messages for details.
Print Provider To Do's - A print option has been added to the Provider ToDo module.
Changes to Pneumovax and Influenza Vaccine Processing - All pneumovax and influenza vaccine data will now display in both the Health Maintenance and Immunizations modules of the LMR. "Flu shot" has been renamed "Influenza Vaccine" throughout the LMR.
Sign Button - The Signature menu button has been renamed Sign.
Signature Button in Document Management - You can now add a signature line to the bottom of notes by clicking a new Signature button.
No Shows on Summary 2 - MGH appointments that result in "no shows" will be included in the patient's schedule list. (No shows had been shown for BWH appointments only.)
Health Maintenance Enhancements - The Adv Dir button now displays in red if advance directives have been recorded for the patient.
Flowsheet Enhancements - You can now specify a time for entry of vital signs. Previously, you could specify only a date.
