Synergy EMR Update – 7.0.00

Synergy EMR Version 7.0.00 Release Notes

HealthCare Assistant (Back Office)

Upgraded Features or Functionality

• WE ARE CONSTANTLY IMPROVING THE “LOOK AND FEEL” OF THE APPLICATION. STAY TUNED FOR EVEN MORE CHANGES BASED ON USER FEEDBACK!
• Number of LUPA visits now showing in the OASIS, Plan of Care, and Financial Summary
• New Demographics Tab in the patient’s chart
• Ability to sort documents and communications by date on the left panel of the patient chart
• Under payroll processing, date ranges entered by the user are saved for each user’s session, meaning if you navigate elsewhere and come back, you don’t have to enter again.
• Can set the “start page” as the home screen (in case it was changed to another screen).

Fixes

• Administration-Related:
  • On Chrome browser – overlap on user rights caused user to not be able to access dropdowns.
  • Under user rights, dropdown wasn’t filtering based on role selected and you couldn’t reassign a template or role to a user.
  • Issues exporting lists that were filtered (e.g. clinical docs filtered by type of document then patient name)
• Scheduling-Related:
  • Deleting visits under caregiver scheduling would reload the calendar and show a different date range
  • Issues creating appointments when patient was on hold – warning coming as fatal error.
  • Transfer status not correctly showing on the scheduler
  • Selecting multiple entries (holding shift key) not working
  • Issues on Caregiver Scheduler going back and forth with “view” tabs like today and month, etc.
  • Issues on Caregiver Scheduler when selecting 12:00pm and having it choose 12:00am
  • Showing a blank page sometimes clicking “view map” button
  • Warnings are now separated to not run together
• Chart-Related:
  • Medication Profile wouldn’t print pharmacy information if multiple numbers listed for pharmacy
  • Medication profile had issues when it was sorted by date added and user clicked “add medication administration”
  • For stand-alone OASIS (back office only users), we changed to only allow 6 ICD codes on the OASIS (what is submitted to CMS)

  • In OASIS comprehensive document, couldn’t type more than 8 characters when searching for a dx code by description
  • Hospice – “Episode 1” changed to “Benefit Period 1”
• Billing-Related:
  • Calculation of the wrong HIPPS code on OASIS caused the RAP to generate incorrect HIPPS code, meaning when sending FC, this had to be corrected – we placed all claims with this issue “on hold”

  • LUPA threshold fixed for financial summary
  • Issue saving authorization if adding an attachment.
  • Under view claims expiring for timely filing – fixed ability to print multiple claims

  • On Eligibility Logs – changed layout to show all information when clicking “result details” button
  • On Download Files via Ability – automatically will open all 277 files after pressing download button, will open 277 as readable text when clicking on view, and replaced “UUID” and “URI” columns with “Source”
  • Under billing menu, added “View On-Hold Claims” under “View All Claims”
• Payroll-Related:
  • Printouts changed to maximize the amount of space and minimize wasted white space.
  • Shift and control work for selecting multiple entries
• Report-Related:
  • Patient List by Primary Physician didn’t show all information
  • Med-Pass forms fixed to show time in/out on printout
  • Vitals report from chart wouldn’t print per episode and had wasted white space when it did print.
  • Patient Signatures showing on doc printouts
