Tools > Lab Viewer
What do I need to know?
The “Signed” and "Comments" fields for a lab will now display the user’s full name and credentials instead of the User ID information when viewing a lab independently through Tools > Lab Viewer. It is displaying user information entered through Edit > System Tables > Users.
Additionally, the Social Security Number (SSN) field has been removed from the screen and printed document.
How do I use it?
The user’s first name, last name, and credentials will automatically display next to "Signed" and in the Comments field upon upgrade. No user intervention is needed to see this change.

Various places within Clinical and Practice Manager
What do I need to know?
The “Sex” field was renamed to “Birth Sex” to comply with ONC 2015 certification requirements. Wherever we previously displayed the patient's Sex will now be displayed as "Birth Sex". Such areas include:
Clinical
Practice Manager
In 6.1.6, you will see this on screen but not in print-outs. The change to printed documents will take place in a later version.
How do I use it?
The change will happen automatically upon upgrade and no user intervention is needed.
Where can I find it?
ID tab (Clinical); More Patient (Practice Manager)
What do I need to know?
The “Maiden Name” field was renamed to “Previous Last Name” in Practice Manager. In addition, we added this field to Clinical on the ID tab under the Additional Info button. Previously this field was only available through Practice Manager.
How do I use it?
There is no user intervention in order to see this change. The field name change and addition to Clinical will happen automatically upon upgrade.

Chart > Scan Documents
What do I need to know?
In Scan Manager, if your documents were numbered higher than 10, the documents would not end up in a logical numeric order. All the documents that started with a 1 would be grouped together, all documents that started with a 2 would be grouped together, etc. This was particularly an issue for offices using a fax utility that didn't allow them to rename documents.
We have modified the logic so all documents will display in correct numerical order, like the example in the screenshot below.
How do I use it?
No user intervention is needed to see this change.
Where can I find it?
Chart > Export > Patient Data > HIE TOC
What do I need to know?
The system has been updated with the capability to interface with the JFK Health ACO.
ACOs collect and report quality reporting data for the providers who have joined their groups. Specifically, they are collecting CCDA data, or Transition of Care data, from Clinical to do this. CCDAs are sent in real time every 15 minutes via the Health Portal Client Service to our HealthPortal.
How do I use it?
Once a user is enrolled and configured with JFK Health, there is no user intervention required for the data to be sent. It is an automatic process. To implement this interface in your practice, contact Customer Support.

Prescribe Medication dialog
What do I need to know?
This project consists of two aspects: the physician educational banners that will appear on the Prescribe Medication dialog displaying Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) information, and the patient savings initiative that comes in the form of coupons.
The educational banners will display pertinent information about the medication being prescribed so it could be used in determining decision support. We estimate the banners will be displayed for about 8.5% of prescriptions, however this percentage will vary by physician and specialty.
The patient savings initiative was designed to help drive adherence to the prescribed regimen and ultimately, better outcomes through discounted prescriptions. The patient will receive coupons for either the medication being prescribed, for copay assistance, or a discount card to the pharmacy, which is based on the pharmacy you selected on the confirmation dialog.
The print-out will consist of the coupon, and/or copay assistance information as well as educational information about the medication. It will also contain certain patient information such as your practice name, the patient's name, and the selected pharmacy.
How do I use it?
Beyond setting the default printer for where the Patient Savings coupon will print, there are no other steps required by the user. The physician educational banners will automatically display when available on the Prescribe Medication and Confirm Prescription dialogs. The Patient Savings coupons will automatically print when available as well.
To set the default printer for Patient Savings:
- In Clinical, go to Edit > Preferences...
- On the General tab, click the dropdown for "Patient Savings Printer" and select the appropriate printer
- Click "OK" to save your changes
- Repeat steps 1-3 for each user and each workstation
Note: This preference needs to be set per network login and per workstation. Upon initial login after upgrading to 6.1.6 by users designated as Proxy or Prescribers, Clinical will prompt you to set the default printer if the current network user has not done so already.
If all users log into an individual computer using the same network login, this preference can only be set once. For example, if User 1 and User 2 access the computer in Exam Room 1 using the same network login, User 1 and User 2 will need to print to the same printer. If User 1 and User 2 log into the computer using different network logins, they can each select which printer the Patient Savings coupons will go to.
