Enhancing Healthcare, One Feature at a Time
Fixes and Enhancements Tags Feature: The Tags feature has been fully released to Ava Pro clinics. Users can now edit the name and colour of existing tags. We also fixed a bug where tags did not update when Ava Connect was launched from the patient sidebar.Print Chart: We fixed the print chart UI so the scrollbar is no longer too close to the checkbox when printing consults. The date and name columns for created consult notes now align with all other sections. Row content will also no longer shift inward when a box is resized or when a scrollbar is present.Complex Queries Reports: Internal report fields, such as Ava Patient ID, are now visible to all users so they can be selected for CSV reports.Scheduler: We updated the icon used to show deleted appointments in the scheduler.Instant Messenger: We fixed an issue where clinicians appeared offline despite being actively online after opening Ava in multiple tabs and closing one. We also fixed an issue where the message notification icon did not alert or flash unless the chat bubble was already open at the bottom of the screen. Message alerts will now continue flashing when a user navigates to another area of the EMR. We also fixed an issue where users received message notifications, but could not open or read the message until the page was manually refreshed.OOP Newborn Billing: A recovery code field now appears when users enter a value in the “Guardian OOP Insurance” field. Back-end validations have also been added to ensure bills are valid for OOP insurance before they are submitted.Fixes and Enhancements Authorized Prescriber Management: Clinic moderators can view and remove authorized prescribers, while only physicians can create their own, helping prevent non-prescribing staff names from appearing on prescriptions.Medication Favourites: Fixed a bug affecting end validity date calculations when using medication favourites with repeats.Employee Categories: Added new allied health employee categories in Account Management to support future AHP users submitting consults through CII.Fixes and Enhancements Public Booking: Released Public Booking to Ava Pro clinics, and improved patient booking link wording and field display.Tasks: Fixed a bug where urgent tasks reset to normal when reopened.Scheduler: Fixed an issue affecting bookings on the daylight savings time change date.Clinical Notes: Added a WSBC note template for BC nurse practitioners.Fixes and Enhancements PrescribeIT has been rolled back and related feature flags, APIs, and integrations have been disabled.The Indication field is now available in all provinces and is no longer mandatory for select medications.Drug Interactions, powered by the new Medi-Span drug database, is now available to all users.Inactive Drug Interactions users will now see an Interactions button with guidance on how to enable the feature.Fixed an issue allowing light-coloured clinic logos and signatures to display properly.Fixed an issue where note content after a “<” character was hidden in expanded clinical note view.Fixed an issue where missing fax names or numbers did not display an error.Fixed an issue where adding a referral indicator to a prior BC bill could prevent the bill from saving.Referral indicators now carry over to newly created BC bills, reducing the need to reselect them.Fixes and Enhancements Marking a Clinical Note as Critical: We’ve introduced a new feature that allows clinical notes to be marked as critical, helping ensure that important information is clearly flagged and not overlooked.Marking Appointments as Critical: You can now mark appointments as critical, making it easier for your clinical team to quickly identify and prioritize key patient information.TNA Updates: Users can now select a specific appointment type when reviewing TNA (Third Next Available).Fixes and Enhancements System: Various technical and infrastructure improvements to enhance overall platform stability and performance.Fixes and Enhancements Patient Lists: Lists with fewer than 100 patients can now be custom ordered.
