PTS 5 Change Log

• Setting 'Select Drugs from' to 'CD Register - Don't check Disp. Stock' no longer displays a warning that a Drug may be out of stock.
• If a user tabs over a field whilst entering quantities whilst blind balance checking then zero will be insterted as the quantity.
• There is now a global application setting allowing Ward to Ward CD Stock Transfers to be enabled / disabled (Patient Stock & STL/TTO Ward to Ward transfers are still permitted).
• The delivery app will now show the CostCentreId & Description instead of 'No patient' if a Prescription has no patient name recorded.

• The date of CD register transactions can now be amended when they are recorded. This allows transactions to be recorded retrospectivey (until the date of the last previously recorded transaction) in the event that the CD register is unavailable at the time of recording.
• Wastage can now be recorded retrospectively by clicking an icon next to the administration entry, entering the quantities administered and wasted and authenticating with instigator and witness passwords.
• 'Active Inpatients' list on CD register is no longer hard-coded but is editable in APPSETTINGS.
• Fixed a DisplayResources issue in ePrescribing (introduced in 5.0.11.0).
• 'Not found' message is no longer displayed after entering Hospital/NHS no. when patient demographic lookup is set to NONE.
• Re-implemented ability to record prescription type changes by scanning a barcode. You'll need to update the PTS Comms Client Software to take advantage of this.'
• Fix to ProcessEvent where a prescription's patient details could sometimes be accessed on a disposed database connection.

• Implimented API endpoints to facilitate integration with Pharmabox24.
• Amendments to users/GetUserDetails API method to facilitate user validation using their professional registration number (rather than username) & password. Method will also return a password reset link if the users password has expired. This is laying the groundwork for a new 'Patient Verification' project.
• Fixed an issue preventing the 'Create Prescription by scanning a barcode for type/ward' functionality from working correctly.

• Fixed an issue with Repeat Date not getting correctly set when being updated from Drug Expiry date.
• Fixed an issue with CMM Batch lookup duplicating drugs after initial population of Drug List.
• Pre-selected, mutually exclusive questions on Kiosk cannot be de-selected (i.e. one of the options must always be selected).
• Kiosk now displays a loading modal when retrieving patient details (so the patient knows the Kiosk is doing something).
• Prescription Types using drugs now have an 'Issue Type' setting. Setting this to 'Bulk Issue' will change the description of dose units to 'Packs', 'Bottles' etc. Setting this to 'Dose Issue' will retain the individual dose unit description ('Tablets', 'Capsules' etc.). Prescription types that have a drug source of 'CD Register' this setting is ignored as Dose Issue must be used.
• If a User View's progress bar style is set to 'no progress bar' the elapsed time is now also hidden.
• Fixed a bug preventing CD Register Ward transfers if Dispensary registers are not in use.
• Fixed a bug preventing Dispensaries marked as 'CD Destruction Register only' from being added to a Dispensary from the actions menu.
• CD Register balance changes & balance checks can now be e-mailed to users that are allocated to the ward (or allocated to the dispensary serving the ward) or dispensary that have 'receive text/email alerts' set and an email address entered. This acts as a 'backup' of the stock balance sheet in the event that PTS is unavailable.

• It's now possible to pass in a WardId for the Kiosk in the query string (e.g. https://prescriptiontracking.co.uk/Kiosk/WardId=2) to allow Kiosk use on multi-site installations. Any Prescription Types being used by the Kiosk must be available for the Dispensary serving the Ward. If the WardId querystring is ommited, the default ward from appSettings is used.

• New SEARCHBTNS application setting allows customisation of buttons on quick search screen (i.e. you can now change the default 2, 7, 30, 365 day search durations to more appropriate values for your dispensaries).
• Drug batch verification allows blanking of Batch if it relates to a different drug, but just show a warning if the batch not found at all in CMM.
• Images on labels are now loaded from URL AppSetting specifically rather than attempting to guess the root URL. Won't effect most people, but can help when proxies / redirects being used.
• Improved handling of duplicates on Kiosk. When a kiosk prescription is booked in, PTS checks if a prescription has been created within 5 days (read from PATIDDAYS application setting, so can be changed). If a prescription is found of a type that the patient could have booked in, then the status of that prescription is displayed (as if they'd scanned the status check barcode). If a prescription is found with a different type (e.g. a TTO has been recently booked in) then a warning message will be displayed instructing the patient to contact the pharmacy.
• Additionally, if the patient has added any notes or indicated a change of prescription type, these changes will be applied to the existing prescription if the existing prescription type is one the patient could have booked in.
• Fixed an issue with 'On-screen-scanner' user views not appearing on users homepage menu.

• Fixed an issue with Kiosk displaying the wrong warning message when an incorrect hospital number entered.
• When patient NationalId description is 'Pick Id.', if a 10 digit number is entered, PTS will insert a comma at position 6 to match CMM pick number (to accommodate CMM pick list barcodes without a comma being entered).

• Prescription types now have an option to show batch numbers. When switched on, batch number & expiry date fields will appear next to each drug. If a prescription type also has repeat dates turned on then the repeat date is updated to a batch expiry date if it is less than the current value.
• Functionality to facilitate looking up / verifying drug batch numbers in CMM and loading 'pick' lists from CMM.
• Functionality to link to another Prescription as a 'Drug'. The link is achieved by using the DrugID as the abbreviation in the prescription types setup. When a batch number is entered (this could also be a patient loacal id) for a drug id that matches an entry in the prescription types table, PTS tries to find a prescription that has a status of 'Waiting for collection' with a prescription id (or patient local id) that matches the batch number. If found then the batch number is updated with the prescription id (if the patient localid was used) and the expiry date is set to the prescriptions repeat date (if used).
• Fixed an issue with EMails sent from Office 365 (OAUTH) not displaying successful / unsuccessful sent message.
• Potentially sensitive application settings (exposing usernames, passwords or SQL) cannot now be edited from the AppSettings set-up screen. You will need to create a support ticket to modify these settings. A full list of the affected settings is displayed on the AppSettings page.
• Change to GetNoteHtml stored procedure to improve performance.
• Javascript entered into text fields that accept &subsequently render html (such as notes text and user-view titles) will no longer be executed.
• By default the Elmah error log and Swagger API documentation will only be displayed on the server hosting PTS, not remotely.
• Checked for invalid file types (anything that isn't an image, word document, excel spreadsheet or pdf) when using attachments.
• Removed the ability to play youTube videos due to applying cross-site scripting vulnerability fix. If you want to play video content on the Outpatient screen then the content will need to be loaded onto the server. Please create a ticket if you need any assistance.

• New progress bar style for user views of 'No Progress Bar' that hides the RAG/Activity Progress bar completely.
• Most descriptive labels (prescriptions, wards, dispensaries etc. (there are over 1000 defined)) are now stored in the PTS database & are cached when the application loads. End user won't see any difference but it means they can be edited without PTS having to be recompiled.
• Closed a loophole that allowed a patient using the kiosk to bypass the 'Kiosk closed' panel and create a prescription.

• Fixed issue where deactivated prescription types were displayed in the to-follow drop down.
• CD Register balance check refactor! When performing a balance check, users can now be required to enter the number of doses that are in stock / for patients / for TTO's rather than simply ticking a box. If the user enters an incorrect amount then they are able to click on the name of the drug with a mismatching balance to open that drugs transaction log, where any amendment transactions can be made as necessary, before returning to attempt the balance check again. The 'Blind balance check?' option can be toggled on/off for each ward & dispensary register.
• Minor changes to font colours on CD register to improve legibility.
• Fixed an issue with booking-in screen failing to load for external users when attempting to create a prescription that is invalid for the default dispensary of the ward that is being attemped to book in to.
• Fixed an issue that would allow a user to be deleted if all activities they'd recorded were recorded against completed prescriptions.
• If Ward drug lists &/or Ward eCD registers are being used, a new 'Find Wards that stock a drug..' option appears on the actions menu, allowing users to search for drugs that are stocked by (other) wards. This may be useful for ward staff to locate a drug that they need that may be stocked on another ward.
• Fixed a typo on the avg. wait by hour of day chart (10am-11pm corrected to 10am-11am)
• Fixed an issue where ePrescribing would reset a prescription's ward when it was amended within PTS.
• Fixed an issue where authority to possess was not completed for Dispensary -> Patient stock transactions on CD Register.

• Patient self-check-in Kiosk is now part of the PTS application (rather than a standalone application)! This allows Outpatients to book themselves in to PTS. Use of this module requires a licence: please contact TMSi for more information.
• Kiosk enhancements:
  
• The notes (list of questions presented to the patient on the kiosk) can now be configured so that when one option is selected, other option(s) are deselected: for example you may have 'I will collect my Prescription immediately' and 'I will collect my prescription in 24-48 hours time' that you want to be mutually exclusive.
• The notes (list of questions presented to the patient on the kiosk) can now be configured to change the prescription type being booked-in. For example, if 'I will collect my prescription in 24-48 hours time' is selected then Prescription Type is changed to 'non-urgent Kiosk Prescription' when being booked-in.
• Fixed an issue where the CD Register was prompting for Prescriptions with zero items to be signed out / received .
• Req. no. field restored on administer stock to ward transactions that are not related to a specific order (Prescription).
• Enhanced CD Register workflow buy adding a 'Sign out of CD Register' / 'Receive into CD Register' button next to each drug on a CD order. When clicked the user is taken straight to the transaction history screen for the ward/dispensary/drug facilitating easy entry into the register. The user is taken to the transaction history screen rather than the receive/sign out screen so that the transaction can be viewed in context. Once the transaction has been recorded, the user is taken back to the Prescription details screen and an icon informs the user that the drug has been receipted / signed out.
• Enhanced CD Register workflow buy adding a 'Order' button next to each drug on a CD register. When clicked the user is shown the booking-in screen with the drug details pre-populated.

• AD Security group mapping logon will now not delete users that were created manually that can't be mapped to a security group (this will allow a phased implementation of AD group mapping to users that werent using this authentication method).
• Fixed a bug preventing CD Balance printout from opening.
• When a user is created via AD group mapping, they will be emailed their logon credentials (so, for example, they can be used on the CD register)
• Fixed an issue with HL7 query / response patient demographics failing to return email address, address and gender details.
• Raw data summary now has fields to show collection and delivery durations, and all note types are separated.
• Fixed a bug on the booking-in screen where notes with multiple free text fields were not recording correctly.
• Fixed a spelling mistake on the CD register 'Reasons for amendment' screen.

• Added Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options custome headers to harden IIS security.
• Added compatibility for Quick SMS provider to facilitate sending SMS and EMails from PTS.
• Added compatibility for WebEx Interact SMS provider to facilitate sending SMS from PTS.
• Major CD Register update:
  
• CD Register(s) now appear in the left hand menu (as they're functionally equivilent of a 'User-View'). Options on actions menu to create CD register user, balance check and print CD Balance sheet now apply to ward / dispensary currently being viewed.
• New 'Remove & Transfer' screen now allows drug to be signed out to a different ward or to a dispensary. Using this option streamlines the process of returning CD's from a Ward to a Dispensary (e.g. to return to stock or entered onto a destruction register) and also provides the receiving dispensary/ward with visibility of transactions that are awaiting entry into their register.
• 'Remove' screen renamed to 'Destroy' as the transactions on the 'Transfer' screen are recorded as removals.
• Removed 'Balance Check' button as feedback suggests that this is only ever done from the dedicated balance check screen.
• Each Register now shows ALL pending orders (Prescriptions) relating to a Drug (not just the last one).
• Each Register now shows transactions that need actioning. These are transactions for drugs signed out from one Ward or Dispensary and need to be entered into the receiving Ward or Dispensary's register.
• If there are transactions that need to be received into a register (e.g. when a Ward signs a Drug out to a Dispensary which needs to be received into the Dispensary), then the 'Receive' button now displays a list of transactions to be received; when a transaction is selected the details on the receive screen are pre-populated.
• On Dispensary registers, the 'Administer/Sign out' button will now display a list of orders (Prescriptions) that are waiting to be signed out; when an order is selected the details on the administer screen are pre-populated.
• More checks in place to ensure dose quantities match when receiving / administering from a related order or transaction.
• Many Trusts set up a dispensary solely as a destruction register. A Dispensary can now be designated as such on the dispensaries set-up screen. A Dipensary designated as a CD Destruction register will allow related CD register transactions but cannot have Prescriptions booked-out to them.
• Fixed a bug preventing Prescriptions being booked-in from the CD Balance Check screen.

• Added compatibility for clicksend provider to facilitate sending SMS and EMails from PTS.

• Added compatibility for office365 OAUTH (modern) authentication to facilitate sending EMails from PTS.
• Added ability to enter an IP range from which two factor authentication will be ignored. This facilitates the scenario where a user is prompted for a TFA login code only when working from and not when working from the hospital.
• Updated to .NET 4.8
• Updated background code libraries to latest release
• Changing Prescription type from drop-down (i.e. not creating a to-follow) now updates target completion time.

• Performance enhancements on Dispensary Display and Collection Status (Outpatient) User views.

• A4 Requisition sheet 'labels' now show a panel warning that the sheet is a re-print if it is printed again.
• Fixed a bug on the barcode sheet screen that would result in the entire barcode being deleted rather than just the text being edited when the user presses delete or backspace when editing the text of a barcode label.

• Free-text notes can now be added to CD Register Transactions.
• Amended colours on 'Transactions by Type and Location' CD Register report for improved legibility.
• ePrescribing service is now able to process actions that move a Prescription from one dispensary to another.

• PTS Self Registration amendments and improvements.
• Link to check support details amended from tmsinsight.com to tmsi.support.
• Blank report troubleshooting link fixed to point to articles on my.tmsi.support.
• Fixed an issue where activities would appear out of order on the standard user view activity radar chart.
• [PRESCRIPTIONREPEAT] can now be used in note text to display the date a Prescription will repeat.
• 'Related transaction' can now be entered for removal type transactions in CD Register.

• Fixed an intermittent issue on booking-in screen where patients DOB would be one day out.
• Fixed an issue that was setting an incorrect repeat date on prescriptions that were being created from ePrescribing interface.
• RequiredDate can now be passed as a parameter when creating Prescriptions via ePrescribing.

• Improvements to regimen/batch booking in process.

• Both Raw data reports separate patient descriptions to discrete fields.
• Changed wording of prompts on Removal and destruction CD registers.
• Maintenance script SP updated with default parameter for bad indexing increase.

• SMS/EMail implementation of Two Factor Authentication.
• When searching, if an exact ticket number is matched, this will be the first item in the results (above any part matching prescription id).
• If an email address is required in a Note text field, use @ in place of the @ symbol (which would usually denote that PTS will prompt for a date/time) e.g. noreply@tmsinsight.com .

• Major refactoring of prescription activity handling with the aim of performance improvements for customers with large amounts of data. When a Prescription is completed, any events recorded against it are moved to an archived events table. Reports that need to read activities will use this table whilst user views will use the live table. This should significantly reduce read/write times when recording activities.
• Maintenance script stored procedure updated to latest version: this version will remove indexes that are not being used and genarate queries to bulk collect/deliver prescriptions if it detects a high number of uncollected/undelivered prescriptions.
• Fixed an issue where report selections were hidden when defining reports to include on report type user views.
• Updated NuGet packages to fix package vulnerability warnings.
• Auto notes should now be recorded for Prescriptions that are booked-in electronically.
• Excel reports that are used on Report Type User Views should now be formatted correctly.

• ePrescribing no longer overrides manual changes to Doses.
• Browser printing should default to zero margins and background printing by default.

• New 'Patient on Ward' CD Register transaction for Dispensary registers.
• DM+d importer can now be run from Task scheduler using the /q command line switch.
• Fixed an issue where contact details displayed on booking-in screen were duplicated if an external user was allocated to more than one Ward.
• Fixed an issue where the 'Create CD Register user' button was not displayed on the actions menu when the users CDCREATEUSER permission was set to 'SELF'.

• Amendments to ePrescribing to account for cut-off with dose & frequency changes.
• Added code to reconnect signalR if hub is disconnected.
• Updated signalR code library to latest release.

• When setting up each Wards Drug lists, drugs can be marked as stock or non-stock and prescription types using this list for their drug source can be configured to only return stock, non-stock or both.
• Notes passed by ePrescribing should now be recorded against existing Prescriptions (i.e. notes recorded when a Prescription starts).

• Fixed a bug preventing auto recorded notes being recorded when started via ePrescribing.
• Logging-in process for AD Role mapping is now logged if verbose logging app setting is on.
• Mobile app screen userviews are now sent in TabIndex order to devices.

• Files can now be attached to Prescriptions! An ATTACHMENTS permission determines if a user can view or admin (add & delete attachments).
• Fixed a bug preventing completed prescription count (and if Dispensary is closed) from appearing on Ward User's standard user views. .
• UI tidy up of set-up screens; hiding superflous / confusing tabs and amending some wording.
• Ability to create repeat prescriptions! Each prescription type can now have a 'repeat frequency (days)' set. If this is set to > 0 days then a repeat date will be added to a Prescription when it is booked in. This date can be used on user view filters (so you can create a user view displaying prescriptions that are due to be repeated this week for example). A prescription is repeated by clicking a 'repeat prescription' button on the prescription details screen. This opens the booking-in screen with all the details from the repeating prescription filled in. When this is booked-in a system note is recorded against the prescription we have repeated (again this is usable on user view filters so that prescriptions that have been repeated can be excluded for example).
• Fixed a bug that allowed an Activity to be deleted when it was present in a user view filter.

• UI tidy up of new User view set-up screen.
• Prescription type can now be edited directly from a drop-down list on prescription details screen. 'Create to follow / change prescription type' button now just says 'Create to follow' to avoid confusion.
• Default Dispensary / Ward for a user can now be selected by pressing a 'Make Default' button rather than deleting and re-adding the Dispensary / Ward. A Wards default dispensary can also now be set in the same way.
• Having a large number of bags should no longer prevent Prescription details screen from loading.
• Bag filter (on user view editing screen and prescription reports) is now presented as a searchable text entry rather than a drop-down list to prevent slow-down when there are a large number of bags in the system.
• Ward's can now have Drug Lists set for them that are independant of the CD Register. When configuring a Prescription Type to use Drugs, you are now able to choose which list drugs can be entered from: All Drugs, Dispensary Drug List or Ward Drug List.
• When using the CD Register as a Prescription Type's drug list source there is now an option to NOT check stock in the dispensary.
• The schedule of drugs that will be used is now set exclusively on the Prescription Type (previously it was a mish-mash of user permissions and if the CD Register was being used). The CDSCHEDULES permission has been removed.
• A users professional registration number can now be easily checked by clicking on a button to open the GPhC or NMC website (depending on the users DISPENSARYSTAFF permission) in a new browser tab with the details populated.

• Major update to user views. User views can now be created and edited from a central set-up screen and applied to Roles and Users from here. User views can still be assigned to users & roles from the respective set-up screen; but all of the administration has been centralised.
• Col. Status Incomplete/Ready/Flagged text (set in Dispensaries set-up screen) can now include html - This is useful for long messages as you could include <br/> tag to have message display on 2 lines.
• Left hand navigation now shows a tool-tip with the full description of the tab if the description won't fit on the menu.
• 'Report' style user views have been moved to the 'Reports' menu rather than being displayed with standard user views.

• New method for creating PTS Users on-the-fly using their Active Directory group. AD groups can now be mapped to a job role & list of dispensaries/wards that the user will have access to (with a default dispensary/ward specified). Groups can be prioritised to allocate to a certain group if the user has more than one group. When a user first accesses PTS it will check to see if the user exists in PTS - if they don't then the user will be created based on the AD group mapping. When logging on subsequently PTS will check for AD group changes & re-assign if required. The 'SECMODE' application setting must be set to AD (AD ONLY) or MAD (Mixed AD / Form login) to utilise this.
• PTS Users with DISPENSARYSTAFF=True & ISGENERIC=False Permissions can now print their own User Barcodes from the homepage.
• If no data is returned to a user view for users with DISPENSARYSTAFF=False & ISGENERIC=False then a dialog is displayed telling the user how to change their default ward. This is to complement the AD User creation, e.g. New Nurse PTS Users could have access to all the Wards in a Hospital but default to a 'dummy' ward, so the first thing they'll need to do is choose the Ward they are working on.
• Fixed an issue with multi-patient prescriptions on dispensary display user views where list of patient names overlapped the adjacent prescription details.
• Two new 'special characters' can be added to notes that will create a QR code that can be used to check that a Prescription is being handed to the correct patient: 'QR Code to check Prescription details' or 'QR Code to check Prescription details and record collection on a match'.
• New 'Average Completion time by hour of day and Prescription Type' report. This is essentially a report version of the chart that is displayed on standard user views.
• Three new 'login' activity reports. One report shows the number of logins per week per role, one shows number of logins per week per user (grouped by role) and the third shows number of failed logins per week per user (grouped by role).
• When assigning the responsible Pharmacist on-screen, you will now be prompted to enter the time from which you wish the RP session to start. This allows retrospective entry of the RP (As long as the time requested is not before the start time of the current RP session).
• The time that the current reponisible pharmacist became responsible is now displayed on the homepage.
• Add [DEFAULTWARDORDISP] to User View Titles to show the logged-on users default Ward or Dispensary.

• Notes that change the required date/time can now be used on the booking-in screen. If used (from an automatic note, or if added manually) then the required date and time fields on the prescription details will be hidden to avoid any confusion. The default time will be set to the target time for the prescription type being booked-in.
• Prescriptions can now be suspended when being booked-in.
• 'Add Note' button (and new 'Suspend Prescription' button) on the booking-in screen now match icon on prescription details screen.
• A4 Requisition 'Report' will now hide the Cost Centre & Doses fields if they arent being used.
• App. settings set-up table now searchable by app setting id as well as description.
• Search & Reports screen now shows link to troubleshooting WIKI page if reports fail to load.
• Notes that prompt for Drug Dispensed/Requested can now be entered when booking-in.
• Text on 'Create to-follow' button will now change to 'Change Prescription Type' if all items on a Prescription are chosen.
• 'Raw Data' report now shows name of the user that recorded each activity and requested date/time for each Prescription.
• 'Raw Data Summary' report now shows requested date/time for each Prescription.
• 'Detailed Activity Analysis' report now shows prescription type.
• 'Error Details Spreadsheet' report now shows prescription type.
• 'Prescription Type Summary' report now shows total number of Prescriptions and Items.
• When creating an unregistered user in the CD register the user must confirm that they have read the CD SOP's. A URL to where the SOP documentation is hosted can be configured in application settings.

• Each user view can now be given an index allowing you to move the position of each user view up & down the left hand menu.
• Fixed a bug preventing automatic notes on-delivery not being recorded if they werent prompting for signature / text entry.
• New app. setting that allows the number of days that PTS will look for a patient by their hospital number to be specified when not specifically passed on GetPrescriptionsForNationalOrLocalId API call.
• Errors now appearing properly on on-screen scanner type user views.

• Activity code can now be passed in the ORC OrderControlCodeReason HL7 message segment (in the format ACT$X where X is the PTS activityId). If an activity is specified then it will be recorded against the Prescription that was updated. As an example, this could be used to automate the recording of Clinical Check Á Clinical Check complete activities.
• 'ePrescribe cut-off' can now be specified for an activity when building a Prescription types scanning sequence (it will default to booking-in if not otherwise specified). This will determine when new items will be added to an existing prescription after it has been started. As an example, this could be set to be Cinical Check so that items could be added after a prescription has been started, but before the clinical check activity has been recorded, but not after (in which case a new Prescription for the patient will be created).
• Ticket numbers should no longer be stuck on number 1 on a Sunday.
• Fixed an issue with User Barcodes on Barcode Sheets being unscannable.
• New background API calls to facilitate patient lookup by name/DOB (utilised by new Patient Self-Book-in one-page web app which is currently in testing)
• Display settings can now be defined for Notes allowing them to be hidden on the Booking-in, Prescription Details, Actions Menu and Mobile App. screens. This is useful for Notes that will only ever be recorded automatically or will only ever be scanned rather than selected on-screen.

• Prescriptions can now be moved to the discharge lounge when they have a status of complete or waiting for collection.
• Major update to A4Requisition forms. Now printed via SSRS reporting, are in a landscape format, have a Barcode for patient id and show a space to allow initials of whoever checked/labelled etc. **Requiries installation of new report**
• Fixed an issue causing Prescription details screen to crash (and cancellation not get recorded) when setting zero quantity dispensed on all drugs for a prescription type that has a 'on nothing to dispense' note defined.
• Fixed an issue with PostPrescription API call returning an EntityValidation error when long (>100 character) DoseFrequency instuctions were passed.
• Fixed an error that prevented reports from displaying any data if multiple filter sets were used on the search & reports screen.
• Fixed an issue where PostPrescription API was erroneously adding drugs to a prescription that had been started.
• Fixed an issue preventing Prescriptions with no patient details being returned in search results.
• PostPrescription API call will now use Visit number, if passed, rather than requested date within duplicate check duration to search for duplicate prescriptions for the same patient.
• Activities that havent been recorded, but are in a prescription type scanning sequence, can no longer be deleted.
• Any reports using Started date/time will now explicitly filter out prescriptions with a status of pending so that they arent erroneously displayed with a start date of 1st Jan 0000.
• Increased maximum number of doses to 500,000 as we were ocassionally running into issues with the ceiling being 1000 with supply of liquids.
• Fixed an issue with printers not changing correctly on booking-in screen after first presription has been booked in.
• Fixed an issue with 'Add Patient' button on booking-in screen not working if cost centre demographic was on.
• Fixed an issue preventing notes that amend required time that are automatically recorded on start actually changing the required time. Notes that suspend on start also now suspend properly.

• Fixed an issue with Ward Collection codes produced on Barcode Sheets being un-scannable.
• ePrescribing can now be passed a uniqueDrugId field that can be used to better determine if an amendent relates to an existing drug or if it should be treated as a new drug. **ePrescribing or HL7 services will need to be updated in addition to the main PTS application to take advantage of this**
• Fixed an issue with activity descriptions containing an & character preventing activity reports opening when used as a filter.
• There is now an option to show or hide Notes from the booking-in screen, details screen, action menus and mobil app. This is useful for notes that will be used only as automatic notes, or where the recording of a note doesnt make sense (e.g. recording a note that changes the required date/time on the booking-in screen).
• CD Register Ward stick list only displays related Prescriptions that were booked-in < 96 hours ago.
• Multi-patient prescriptions are now displayed without an inner scroll-bar on the window.
• Time added to date on footer of tickets.
• PrescriptionID QR codes will always appear on a separate note label when used on labels.
• Print icon now appears on on-screen scanner type user views.
• Fixed an issue with Delivery Manifest failing to load if Bag Types are not in use.

• Version number of PTS comms client aligned with main PTS version.
• CD Register screens now have a button allowing them to be grouped by formulary.
• (re!)fixed an issue with Prescriptions with no patients failing to print a label on booking-in.
• Notes that a users role permissions prevent them from recording are now correctly hidden on on-screen-scanner type user views.
• Fixed an issue with booking-in screen not remembering the previous printer selected.
• Ammended HL7 message sender to open & disconnect SimpleMLLPClient between each message on multi-patient prescriptions.
• 'Duration (mins) from time started to time completed' filter will use the current date/time if a prescription is not complete. Combine with the Status = Incomplete filter to find prescriptions with a long elapsed time.
• Renamed 'Auto-recorded Notes' to 'Automatic Notes'.
• ODBC Timeout when attempting to retrive patient details no longer causes CD Register screen to fail to instigate transactions. When this occurs you will see a **Patient Lookup failed** message as the patients name.
• Fixed an issue that would erroneously set number of items to zero for a drug with different dose frequency.

• Prescription Types can now be set to 'Exclude from group collection/ delivery'. Doing this will prevent a Prescriptions status from being changed to collected when a Ward or Ward Group collection code is scanned for the Ward that the Prescription is allocated to. This is useful when certain Prescription Types are not collected by a porter for a given ward.
• Changed 'Refresh Interval' to 'Paging interval' on User views. This setting now only applies to status screens. Standard views will update every 60 seconds (if a Prescription is not updated within a given 60 second period)
• Fixed an issue preventing status screens changing page if the refresh interval for the user view was less than 30 seconds.
• Fixed an issue preventing 'Prescription Ready' message being displayed on Collection Status screens if the prescription id was on a different page than the one currently being displayed.
• Fixed an issue with Prescription labels failing to print if there were no patients on a prescription.
• When entering a signature from the homepage in a web-browser, the prescription / patient details will now be obscured in the background. e.g. This would prevent non-dispensary staff seeing patient identifiable information when signing for the collection of prescriptions using an iPad.
• Amendments to prescription API that fixes an issue with a users ePrescribingID being ignored when booking-in.
• Amendments to database stored procedures to improve performanace and mitigate deadlocks.
• The 'Close Dispensary' option will now also end the current responsible pharmacists session.

• Implemented the ability to search for Drugs in Dispensary Stock list.
• Drug information updated to hold details of Dose Units, Strength and Controlled Drug Status.

• Fixed an issue with broken UI when editing a User Views from the Users set-up screen.
• New permission added to determine if a user is allowed to change the user on the booking-in screen. If they are NOT allowed then the User drop-down is hidden.

• Booking-in screen amended to hide any drop-down list where the user would be presented with only one option (this simplifies the booking-in screen).
• New permission added to control the Controlled Drug Status' or drugs that a User is able to book-in.
• Forename and Family name are now optional demographic entries. This allows entry of 'number of items' or drugs against a 'blank' patient. Useful for things like CD Orders.

• Added a toggle to turn verbose logging of ePrescribing interface on and off to help in debugging ePrescribing duplication issues.
• Fixed an issue that was causing Prescriptions being duplicated by ePrescribing interface when the dispensary was manually changed.
• Improved functionality for use in Aseptic s departments:
• Regimens can now be defined (New permission determines who can set-up). A regimen lets you define prescription type / drug / no. of doses / day to create and weekly repetitions.
• Prescription Types can now be marked as a 'Regimen'.
• When booking-in, if a 'Regimen' Prescription Type is selected the user will be shown a drop down list of Regimens. Once a Regimen is selected, PTS generates multiple 'child' prescriptions (we call these 'Batches') based on the regimen selected. The drugs / doses / dates etc. can be amended and added to.
• Once created the 'parent' prescription is displayed on the PTS Home-pages with all it's 'child' prescriptions (Batches) as an expandable list.
• Cancelling the 'parent' prescription will cancel all related prescriptions (batches); otherwise each prescription (batch) is scanned independently.
• Completing the last batch completes the 'parent' prescription.
• Batches can be added by opening the details of the 'Parent' Prescription and clicking the new 'Add Batch' icon.
• Tidied up the filtering and sorting UI to avoid scrollbars within scrollbars.
• Notes can now include the name of the User that recorded the note.
• Notes can now be set-up to amend the request date/time when recorded.
• Fixed a bug that caused the booking-in screen to fail to refresh if the Prescription Type's description or patient's name included an apostrophe.

• Amended Elmah to log to database rather than XML files on the server. **IMPORTANT** This will require changes to the applications web.config file and a script to be run on the PTS database to create the required tables.
• Fixed an issue preventing selecting anything other than 'Default Dispensary for User' or 'Default Ward for User' when setting up default User-Views for Roles.
• Fixed an issue that caused Roles to be displayed in list of Users allocated to a Ward.

• Fixed an issue that prevented Ward Users from being created when creating a new Ward when the password entered did not meet password requirements (length & complexity).
• Fixed an issue that was generating server-side errors when a Status Screen message was set to be filtered by Dispensary or Ward, but then no Wards or Dispensaries were supplied.
• Wards that are closed are highlighted with a red background on the Wards set-up screen.
• Prescription Types that are inactive are highlighted with a red background on the Prescription Types set-up screen.

• Fixed an issue causing Role Templates to be displayed on the List of Users allocated to a Dispensary.
• Fixed an error preventing errors, suspensions and cancellations with Drug information from being bulk entered on the homepage.

• Added support for Envoy SMS Messaging.

• Added basic support for sending text messages via eMail. In order to use this functionality several settings on the application settings set-up screen must be configured:
• EMail server settings require setting up to use a locally hosted SMPT server.
• The 'SMS Provider' setting should be set to 'smstoemail'
• The 'URL of SMS Service' should be set to the email domain that will be appended to the phone number that the message will be sent to; e.g. enter '@tmsinsight.com' to have 0712345678 sent to 0712345678@tmsinsight.com.
