NextGen Office Enhancements

 

EHR Enhancements 

 

Updated Admin Clerk Pharmacy Role 

We fixed an issue where users with the Admin Clerk pharmacy role were able to approve and deny prescription refill requests when they should have read-only access to the Pharmacy Alerts module. Permissions for these users to the Pharmacy Alerts module is now restricted to read-only. 

 

Updated Direct Messages for Archived Providers 

We fixed an issue where providers who were archived by their old practice were not able to send or receive direct messages in their new practice. Providers are now able to send and receive direct messages in their new practice.  

 

Updated Obstetric Physical Exam 

We fixed an issue in Physical Exam where when you entered comments in Observations during an obstetric physical exam and you reached the character limit in the Antepartum Report Form, the bottom of the page did not correctly appear and the Subjective and Objective menus were no longer shown. The page now correctly loads.  

 

EHR and Patient Portal Enhancements 

 

Updated Preferred Pharmacy Workflow 

We fixed an issue where when the patient updated their preferred pharmacy on the Patient Information page in Patient Portal, the updated pharmacy information did not appear in EHR. This workflow has been removed since the patient can already update this information on the Medications page when requesting a medication refill. The pharmacy information is sent in the Rx refill request patient message to the recipient. When the patient selects the Favorite option, the patient's default pharmacy is updated in Medication List
